Referring also to its observation, the Committee takes note of the Government’s report and information supplied in reply to its previous comments.

The Commission notes with interest the up to date information, data and publications communicated to the ILO under Article 7 of the Convention. The Committee notes that, though the report does not contain information concerning population census data (Article 8), such data have been regularly supplied to the ILO and the last population census undertaken (2001) has been made available through the web site of the Census and Statistics Department (Article 5). Methodological information relating to population census already supplied to the ILO is published on the ILO web site (Article 6).

Article 9, paragraph 1. The Committee notes the removal of the modification with respect to this provision in the Government’s communication of March 2004.

It notes with interest, in reply to its previous request, the table containing quarterly statistics of "median employment earnings and median hours of work during the seven days before enumeration in respect of employees (including outworkers)" covering consecutive quarters (Q3/2001-Q1/2004).

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether it is envisaged that statistics of annual (and not only quarterly) median monthly earnings and median weekly hours of work in respect of employees derived from the General Household Survey, could be regularly supplied to the ILO for publication in the relevant chapters of the Yearbook of Labour Statistics.

Article 10. The Committee takes note, in reply to its previous comments, the indication that "a notification has been forwarded to the ILO in March 2004 by the Government of the People’s Republic of China to amend the modification in respect of this Article to read as "statistics of wage structure are not compiled" rather than "distribution of workers are not compiled".
