Dear Crystal,

        I refer to your application made under the Code on Access to
Information sent to us on 12.9.2021 and we provide the below information
for your reference.
2.        Per your request, the following statistics can be specifically
compiled for you from the results of the General Household Survey (GHS).
 GHS is a continuous sample survey to collect information on the labour
force, employment, unemployment and underemployment, as well as the
demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the population.  The
technical details of the survey could be found in the survey report
([1]https://www.censtatd.gov.hk/en/EIndexbyS...).
 You may wish to know that annual figures of 2021 will be available in
early April 2022 tentatively.
·        Table 1 : Number of employed parents living with their child(ren)
aged below 18 in domestic households by age and sex, 2019-2020
·        Table 2 : Number of employed parents living with their child(ren)
aged below 18 in domestic households by monthly employment earnings and
sex, 2019-2020

3.        As the tables are not readily available and shall be
specifically compiled for you, a charge (HK$682.0) to cover the cost
involved in compiling this statistical table will be levied.  Should you
decide to acquire the table, please arrange for payment of the above
charge.  Payment can be made by sending us a crossed cheque of a bank in
Hong Kong or a bank draft in exact amount and made payable to “The
Government of the HKSAR” to the following address.  The lead-time for our
processing will normally not exceed 4 working days and the output will be
delivered after the payment procedure has been successfully completed.

company/organisation will be the receiver shown on the receipt.  Please
indicate if name of person has to be added as the receiver as well.

Notes (with more options for payment method).  For payment methods
available for settlement of General Demand Notes, you may refer to the

note that official receipt by this Department will not be issued if
payment is made by settlement of General Demand Notes.  Further details
will be provided if you prefer this payment method in your confirmation
reply.

6.        The statistics to be provided are confined to your internal use
only and must not be used for re-dissemination.  However, you may include
the customised statistics that you have obtained from the Census and
Statistics Department (with the source properly acknowledged), in
publication, paper or any other materials which you prepare for academic
