a)Since 1990 data on economically active population, the total employed persons and the sub-total of

 

 

 

 

 

employed persons in urban and rural areas have been adjusted in accordance with the data obtained from the

 

 

 

 

 

sample surveys on population changes. As a result, the sum of the data by region, by ownership or by sector

 

 

 

 

 

are not equal to the total. The same as in the following tables.

 

 

 

 

 

b)Coverage of rural employed persons in township and village enterprises was modified on 1997 by the Bureau of

 

 

 

 

 

Township Enterprises of the Ministry of Agriculture. The figure of 1997 therefore is not comparable with

 

 

 

 

 

figures of preceding years.

 

 

 

 

 

c) Statistical coverage of staff and workers employed in urban units was adjusted. Please refer to the

 

 

 

 

 

explanatory notes at the end of this chapter.
