Hong Kongers with knowledge of computers and a Chinese input method (Bar Chart)

Note: Economically active in this context includes employed, self-employed, and unemployed people. In short, everyone in the labour force with knowledge of a Chinese input method. One can assume that knowledge of a Chinese input method assumes knowledge of computers.

Note 1: This graph was obtained by dividing the value of each oranged-shaded bar in graph 84a by the value of its corresponding gray-shaded bar.

Note 2: The underlying assumption here is that everyone who knows a Chinese input method is also familiar with computers.

Note 3: Economically active in this context includes employed, self-employed, and unemployed people. In short, everyone in the labour force with knowledge of a Chinese input method.

Note 1: Each column represents the proportion of all Hong Kongers who are both familiar with a Chinese input method and belong to the cohort indicated. By way of example, if you are a Hong Kong student, there is close to a 90% chance that you are familiar with a Chinese input method. Alternatively, if you are actively employed. or part of Hong Kong's labor force looking for employment, then the odds are more than one in two that you have knowledge of a Chinese input method.

Note 2: Economically active in this context includes employed, self-employed, and unemployed people. In short, everyone in the labour force with knowledge of a Chinese input method.
