Abstract

With the availability of the results of the 2006 Population By-census, the Census and Statistics Department has prepared an updated set of population projections, using the mid-2006 population estimate as the population base and covering the period from 2007 to 2036. In compiling the projections, the Department has made use of up-to-date information on fertility, mortality and movement patterns of the population which have emerged since the compilation of the last set of population projections. The results of the latest population projections were announced in a press conference held on 16 July 2007 and a publication Hong Kong Population Projections 2007–2036 was published on the same day. This feature article provides a brief account of the projection method, assumptions and results based on information extracted from that publication.
