Abstract

The 2001 Population Census was conducted in March 2001. Population Census is the primary source of data for small geographical areas and population sub-groups. It provides a wealth of data on the socio-economic characteristics of the population in Hong Kong, thus allowing studies to be undertaken on various facets of the community and specific sub-groups of the population. Results from the Census have been made available in a series of publications. Among them are a series of thematic reports on population sub-groups. One of such reports, Hong Kong 2001 Population Census Thematic Report – Single Parents, presents detailed statistics and analysis pertaining to characteristics of single parents (mothers or fathers who are widowed, divorced or separated, with child(ren) aged under 18 living with them in the same household) in Hong Kong. This article has extracted some key findings therefrom. For those who are interested in further details of single parents, they may refer to the report.
