(j) : Net Enrolment Ratio(1) by Level and Sex, 2012/13 – 2016/17 School Years

Notes:
Figures include students attending in both day and evening schools, special schools and special classes.
⁽¹⁾ “Net enrolment ratio (NER)” is defined as the total number of students in the theoretical age group for a given level of education enrolled in that level, expressed as a percentage of the total population in that age group. In Hong Kong, the theoretical age groups for primary level, junior secondary level (i.e. Secondary 1-3) and senior secondary level (i.e. Secondary 4-6) are aged 6-11, aged 12-14 and aged 15-17 respectively. Since some children in a theoretical age group could be enrolled across other education levels, the NER is below 100% despite that nine years of free and universal primary and junior secondary education is provided in Hong Kong.
⁽²⁾Hong Kong has been providing nine years of free and universal basic education (six years of primary education and three years of junior secondary education) through public sector primary and secondary schools (including government schools, aided schools and caput schools) since 1978. The minimum age for entering public sector primary education in Hong Kong is five years and eight months as at 1 September of the year, which corresponds to six years old as at 31 December of the year. Starting from the 2015/16 school year, the reference time point for counting of age is shifted to 31 December of the year for compilation of Net Enrolment Ratio to better reflect Hong Kong students’ schooling situation.
⁽³⁾ Figures include correctional/residential home under the Social Welfare Department and correctional institutions under the Correctional Services Department.
⁽⁴⁾Figures include students enrolled in craft level courses and Diploma Yi Jin Programme.
⁽⁵⁾ Figures include secondary day courses operated by private schools offering tutorial, vocational and adult education courses.
⁽⁶⁾ The New Senior Secondary academic structure has been implemented fully from 2011/12 school year onwards. The Net Enrolment Ratio at secondary level from this year is compiled based on school-age population 12-17.
⁽⁷⁾ The 2016 Population By-census conducted from June to August 2016 provides a benchmark for revising the population figures compiled since the 2011 Population Census. Population figures from end-2011 to mid-2016 have been revised accordingly. Net Enrolment Ratio has been compiled using the revised population figures.

Note:⁽¹⁾Figures refer to per capita GDP at current market prices.

(q) : GDP at current market prices

(r) : Annual growth rate of GDP

Notes:⁽¹⁾Figures refer to percentage change of GDP in real terms.

(s) : Gross National Income (GNI) , real Gross National Income (RGNI), per capita GNI and per capita RGNI of Hong Kong

Note:
Figures in this table are the latest data released on 10 November 2017. In Hong Kong, the first released GNI statistics in respect of a period are called “preliminary figures”. When more data become available, the preliminary figures will be revised. All those figures published subsequently, on revision, are called “revised figures”. The figures are finalised when data from all regular sources are incorporated.
⁽¹⁾ GNI is a measure of the total income earned by residents of an economy from engaging in various economic activities, irrespective of whether the economic activities are carried out within the economic territory of the economy or outside. GNI is computed as follows: GNI = GDP + Net external primary income flows Primary income comprises investment income and compensation of employees. Investment income includes direct investment income, portfolio investment income and other investment income as well as income on reserve assets.
⁽²⁾ The chained dollar estimate of RGNI for a particular year is obtained by multiplying the chain volume index for that year by the current price value for the reference year. In compiling the continuous time series of the chain volume indices of RGNI, the annually re-weighted chain linking approach is adopted.
⁽³⁾ Per capita GNI of an economy is obtained by dividing GNI in a year by the population of that economy in the same year.
⁽⁴⁾ Per capita RGNI of an economy is obtained by dividing RGNI in a year by the population of that economy in the same year.

The 2016 Population By-census conducted from June to August 2016 provides a benchmark for revising the population figures compiled since the 2011 Population Census. In this table, per capita GNI and per capita RGNI figures from 2012 to 2016 have been revised accordingly.
* Revised figures

(t) : Consumer Price Index

Note:
⁽¹⁾ The Consumer Price Indices from October 2014 onwards are compiled based on expenditure weights obtained from the 2014/15 Household Expenditure Survey. The Consumer Price Indices for earlier periods are compiled based on old weights and have been re-scaled to the new base period for linking with the new index series.

(t) (cont’d) : Consumer Price Index

Note:
⁽¹⁾ From October 2015 onwards, the year-on-year rates of change are derived from the 2014/15-based Consumer Price Indices. The year-on-year rates of change before October 2015 were derived using the index series in the base periods at that time (for instance the 2009/10-based index series), compared with the index a year earlier in the same base period.
