This report presents data from the Census in the form of detailed analysis of specific topics on the demographic, household, education, economic and housing characteristics of the population. A general account of findings in respect of various topics is presented together with supporting tables. Comparisons are made with the results of the past censuses as appropriate. Descriptions of procedures and techniques and an assessment of data quality are also given to complete the report. The 1991 Population Census comprised a complete enumeration of all persons by age and sex and a one-in-seven sample enquiry on a broad range of demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the population. All households in Hong Kong were enumerated during a ten-day period from 15 to 24 March 1991. The Census results provide a snapshot of the size and characteristics of the population on the Census reference date of 15 March 1991. This report goes into some length in analysing the demographic, social and economic situation of the population. The report 'Main Tables', which was published earlier on, contains detailed tables covering the population, households and living quarters in the whole territory and may be considered as closely complementary to this one. Besides, results of the Census on various specific aspects are available in a number of other publications already released. A full list of the series of census publications is given at the end of this report.
