PART II smPE AND HETIlOn OF SURvEY

I. Int roduction

1.1 Different wage neasures There are hasically four statistical measures of wages, namely, wage rate, earnings, compensation of employees and labour cost. All four of these measures are expressed in money terms. They rliffer fr om one another essentially in the wage elements covered. Data for each of these measures are compiled to serve specific uses.

1.2 The fundamental concept is the wage rate which is usually thought of as the "price" of labour. As such, wage rates are usually expressed as time rates which refer to the amount of money paid for normal time of work and relate to a time-unit such as an hour, a day, a week or a month.

1.3 As for the others, the statistical measure of earnings is based on the concept of wages as "income" to the employed. It covers more wage elements than the concept of wage rate, but the basic difference between the two is that the concept of earnings relates to the amount of time actually worked and not to the normal time of work. Thus, if overtime is worked, the amount of earnings will exceed the \vage rate and vice versa. Apart from changes in wage rates and in the amount of time worked, where the latter fluctuates with the season and with the economic situation, the movements of earnings are also affected by changes in composition of the labour force with respect to sex, occupation, mode of payment and experience and quality of workers; and the incidence of the payment of bonuses and back-pay. The movements of earnings are therefore inherently more volatile than those of wage rates.

1.4 The third measure, compensation of employees, is used in connection with national accounts. It is a broader concept which covers, in addition to wage elements included as earnings, social security payments. Finally, labour cost is a statistical measure of the cost of employing labour to the employer. It is the broadest statistical measure of wages which covers, in addition to practically all of the wage items included under compensation of employees, .the employer's cost of vocational training, welfare services and staff recruitment, etc.

1.5 The Survey of Wages, Salaries and Employee Benefits collects data mainly relating to wage rates.

1.6 Historical background The Government has since 1964 conducted a survey entitled "Wage Survey" at half-yearly intervals. On the basis of the results of this survey, wage indexes and statistics on the absolute level of wage rates and establishment practices with regard to pay were compiled and published. However, these statistics suffered from several defects. Firstly, there were large gaps in coverage. Economic sectors other than manufacturing and public utilities were largely not covered. Even in the manufacturing sector, many industries that in recent years had become important were left out, while many of those covered were no longer important. Secondly, the survey covered only craftsmen and other operatives, excluding other occupations. Thirdly, the sample used was not a probability one and covered essentially the large establishments. Finally, the statistics were available half-yearly and this is not sufficiently frequent for the purpose of monitoring the short-term changes in the economy. To i"mrrove the situation, a new quarterl y Survey of Hages, Salaries and Employee Benefits was conducted as from ~farch 19R2 to replace the old one.

18

1.7 Areas of i mproveme n t As compared wi th th e old wage survey, the new survey introd uces the fol l owing areas of improvement :-

a ) the sampl e size i s enl a r g ed from 350 establishments to a round 2 000 e stablishme nt s ;

b) supervisory, technical, clerical and miscellaneous nonproduction workers are included in addition to craftsmen & othe r opera tives; employees at the managerial and professional levels are, ho wever, still excluded in the initial stage of the new surv ey;

c) a total of 41 industries representing most economic sectors are covered;

d) the frequenc y of the survey is changed to a quarterly basis so as to facilit a t e monitoring of short-term changes in the economy;

e) in order to reduce the burden on respondents, the rotational sampling method is used; and

f) more detailed and useful information is collected.

The details of the differences between the two surveys and the methodology adopted in the new survey are summarized in the "Quarterly Report of ~vages, Salaries and Employee Benefits Statistics for March, June and September 1982, Volume I" available at $11 per copy at the Government Publications Centre.

1.8 Objectives of the survey The objectives of the new survey are:

a) to compile nominal wage indexes for individual industries analysed by broad occupational group as well as for all the industries covered as a whole to measure the changes in wage rates in money terms;

b) to derive real wage indexes by deflating the nominal wage indexes by the Consumer Price Index for measuring the changes in purchasing power of wages; and

c) as a by-product of the above two objectives, to compile statistics on the absolute level of prevailing wage rates and normal hours of work of principal occupations in the major industries, for reference in career counselling and salary determination. However, wage rates do not make up the entire pay package. Employers also pay their employees partly in the form of housing benefits, transportation benefits, etc. To put the pay practices of different industries in perspective, statistics are therefore also compiled on employee entitlement to different types of such benefits.

1.9 Publication arrangement The survey report is puhlished in two volumes to ensure the timely publication of data. The first volume includes basically statistics in the nature of short-term economic indicators (relating mainly to the first two objectives above) which need to be published as soon as possible whereas the second volume contains the detailed occupational dat a (including statistics on establishment pay practices) which can afford a later publication date.

19

2. r:overage of . the survey

2.1 Industrial coverage It is not necessary to cover all industries in the economy and in fact it is not possihle to do so in the light of the limited resources availahle. Hence for the present survey, only the principal industries are covered. Appenrlix 1 gives a list of the 41 selected industries.

2.2 Occupational coverage In each selected industry, a number of occupations which have clearly understood and definable duties are surveyed if they are either numerically important or are identified as being of special interest. Occupations included in the new survey are classified according to the following 6 occupational groups :-


(i) supervisory and technical workers;

(ii) clerical and secretarial workers;

(iii) service workers; and

(iv) miscellaneous non-production workers


(i) craftsmen; and

(ii) other operatives.

Employees at the managerial and professional levels are not included for the time being. A list of occupations under each occupational group in the industries covered is given in Appendix 2. The job description of individual occupations is detailed in Appendix 2 of Volume 11 in the December 1982 issue.

2.3 Occupational classifications and job specifications are defined in advance of the survey. They are based mainly on the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO). Because of the emphasis on interestablishment comparability of occupational content, the job specifications may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments. The primary objective of the job specifications is to identify the essential elements of skill, difficulty and responsibility that establish the basic concept of the job.

2.4 Employee coverage The main categories of employee covered in the survey are time-rated and piece-rated workers. Within these categories, workers of both sexes are included. The time-rated employees cover all employees paid on a time basis, whether this be hourly, daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

2.5 The following categories of employees are excluded unless prOV1S10n for their inclusion is specifically staterl in the job specifications :- proprietors and family workers, out-workers, hanrlicapped workers, part-time workers, apprentices, learners, heginners, trainees and workers on prohation. Employees whose duties and tasks rlo not fit in with the scope of the selected occupations are also excluded.

20

2.6 Establishment coverage Establishments of medium to large size are covered in the survey. In very small establishments, workers often have no clearly defined job duties and the job they perform cannot be classified into any particular occupation. There may not always be strict adherence to regular work schedules and normal hours of work. If very small establishments were included, the cost of the survey would increase considerably. On the other hand, small establishments make up the majority and if too many are excluded, the survey results would not be representative. Thus, a balance has to be struck. A minimum size limit of establishments covered is determined for each industry and shown in Appendix 1.

3. Survey method

3.1 Data collected and the frequency of data collection The following basic items of information, broken down by sex and mode of payment (i.e. monthly-rated, daily-rated and piece-rated), are collected for the selected occupations in each industry each quarter :-

(a) number of employees;

(b) number of normal working hours per day;

(c) number of standard working days per month;

(d) wage rate, which covers the following wage elements :-

(i) basic wages/salaries (including paid holidays and leave) ;

(ii) cost-of-living allowance;

(iii) meal benefits;

(iv) guaranteed year-end bonus;

(v) good attendance bonus;

(vi) night shift allowance;

(vii) commission and tips; and

(viii) other bonuses and allowances regarded as wages/ salaries.

3.2 Information on entitlement to the various types of benefits other than the wage rate including :-

(a) housing benefits; (b) transportation benefits; (c) social security schemes; (d) profit-sharing bonus; (e) meal benefits; (f) paid holidays and leave; (g) rates of overtime premium; and (h) other benefits;

is also collected for individual occupational groups once a year.

21

3.3 As the methods of granting these pay practices at-e not expected to change frequently, the various industries are divided into 4 sectors and information on establishment pay practices for each section is collected once every 2 years.

3.4 Unit of enquiry The unit of enquiry for wage rate information is an occupation in an estahlishment, not the individual workers. To collect wage rate data for individual workers will make the cost of data processing prohibitively high. The unit of enquiry for information on establishment pay practices is an occupational group since such benefits are generally the same for similar occupations.

3.5 Data collection method At the start of a survey, notification letters are first mailed to sampled establishments. A field officer then makes an appointment with the respondent during which he assists the respondent in job matching and filling in the questionnaire.

3.6 Survey reference period The survey reference period is fixed at the last month of each quarter, namely, March, June, September and December. All items of information in this report refer to those prevailing and effective in these selected reference months only.

4. Sample design and estimation method

4.1 .Sample desig~ In each quarter, a total of some 2 000 estahlishments are covered, an average of about 50 per industry. The sample consists of 4 replicates each of which is stratified by industry and size in terms of employment. Each quarter, one replicate is replaced in order to spread the burden of selected establishments.

4.2 The Central Register of Establishments provides a frame for this survey. Like other statistical frames, changes due to births and deaths are quite frequent. Birth cases include two types of establishments: (i) thoRe newly opened and falling within the scope of the Rurvey; and Cii) those not previ0usly withi n th~ scope of the survey hut having shifted in during the course of the survey. Death cases are Ci) closed-down establishments; (ii) estr'.blishm"'ntl'l that have fallen below the minimum size limit of the survey; rwd (ili) establishments that have changed their nature of busiT'.e s~. The ~~;Jth cases are deleted from the sample. For the birth cAFeR~ a suprlementary sample is chosen and incorporated into the main sam~le ~n each quarter.

4.3 The survey is designed to estimate both the changes in and the levels of wage rates. In estimating the change in wage rates, that is, in compiling the wage index, only those establishments included in the three overlapping replicates in the two consecntive quarterl'l are used. In other words, the sample design for the wage indexes corresponds almost to a 100% overlap, which is ideal for this purpose. On the other hand, the entire sample is used in the estimation of the level of wage rates, amounting only to a 75% overlap with the sample in the previous quarter.

22

4.4 Average daily wages/monthly salaries The ultimate aim in estimating wages/salaries is to obtain an average per worker. To estimate the average wage rate of a particular occupation in a particular industry, it is necessary to estimate first the total wage bill (wage rate x number of workers) for that category of worker, and second the total number of workers in that category. The estimated average wage rate is given by the ratio of the estimated total wage bill to the estimated total number of workers. The method is illustrated by the following formula :-

R = F. 9. x.

1. 1. 1.

where R = average wage rate for a certain occupation, sex and mode of payment

Fi = grossing-up factor for the ith establishment;

ei reported number of workers in that category in the ith establishment;

xi reported wage rate of workers in that category in the ith establishment.

The method in calculating average wage rates for higher levels of aggregation, e.g. an occupation, an occupational group , a particular industry and all industries combined can be done by simply extending the summation sign in both the numerator and the denominator to cover all workers in the required level of aggregation before dividing.

4. 5 The above formula is a simplified one and aims at conveying the idea of the estimation method. The simplified formula has assumed that all establishments belonging to a certain industry and employment size at the time of sample selection remain in that stratum in all subsequent surveys. As this is not a realistic assumption, a more sophisticated formula is adopted to cater for such shift in sampling stratum and tabulating stratum.

4.6 The wage index Basing on the average daily wages/monthly salaries derived in para. 4.4, the Wage Index (Nominal) can be calculated. The Wage Index (Nominal) is designed to measure the change in wage rates unaffected by changes in occupational and industrial structure. In view of the above, a Laspeyres base-weighted aggregative index is used, so that occupational and industrial structure is held constant. The index formula for a particular industry is shown below :-

23

lot -x R~)

x 100

x R~)

where lot wage index for a given industry for time-period t with reference to the base time-period 0 taken as 100;

N3 total number of employees in the jth occupation during the base period o. An occupation is subdivided with respect to sex and mode of payment, and each subdivision is treated as an occupation for the present purposes;

R~ = average wage rate of employees in the jth occupation at current time-period t;

Rj average wage rate of employees in the jth occupation at base time-period o.

For computational purpose, the same formula is expressed as

L ( Nj 0 Rt / Rj ) Rj x lot

J - I Nj RO J

x 100

2 (wj x Rt / RO ) j J ~ I Wj

x 100

where W j = N j R j total wage hill paid to all employees in the jth occupation in the base time-period o.

Thus the index weight is ~

pj

R t j

R~ J

wage rate relative for the jth occupation.

becomes a weighted average of wage rate relatives, Where the for the jth occupation, and" EL = 1 •

LI Wj

24

4.7 The base-period is March 1982 and the weights are determined in the March 1982 Survey.

4.8 The wage rate used in the above formulae is defined to cover all wage elements in category (d) in para. 3.1, which is roughly equal to the rlefinitlon of the wage rate including fringe benefits in the old survey.

4.9 The Real Wage Index is obtained by deflating the Nominal Wage Index by the Consumer Price Index. Although the same def1ator is used for each industry to derive the real wage index from its nominal counterpart, the difference between the movements of the nominal wage index and the real wage index between any two time periods may vary slightly from industry to industry due to roundings.

4.10 Medians and quartiles of wages/salaries In compiling the median and quartile wages, it is ideal if the wage rates of individual workers can be used. However, as mentioned in para. 3.4, such information is not available, the average wage rate for a particular occupation in a particular establishment has been taken as the wage rates of ~1 workers in that occupation in that establishment in compiling the frequency table and hence the medians and quartiles. The formula for compiling the median is as follows :

where

f1edian = +

L1 = lower class boundary of the median class;

N =n\wber of workers in the domain, ei ther an Indus try, industry group or all industry combined;

sum of frequencies of all classes lower than the median class;

f median = frequency of the JT~d Vm cl ass;

n class;

c = size of median class interval.

The formulae for compiling the lower and upper quartiles are similar.

25

5. Notes in interpreting the results

5.1 Changes in wage rates Wage indexes are compiled from data of overlapping establishments in two consecutive quarters. Of the four replicates of roughly 500 establishments each, three of them are used in the compilation of wage indexes. However, the entire four replicates are used in the compilation of the level of wages. As a result, the movement of absolute level of wage rates may differ from the movement of the indexes. Where this happens, the wage indexes should be used.

5.2 The wage indexes are designed to measure the "pure" changes in wage rates by holding constant the structure of the labour force with respect to industry, occupation, sex and mode of payment. However, it is not possible to standardize the experience and quality of workers within the basic unit which is defined by an occupation, sex and mode of payment. Hence, changes in composition of workers in terms of experience and quality within a basic unit may still distort, though not significantly so at the higher levels of aggregation, the movements of the wage indexes.

5.3 Piece-rates Piece-rated workers are common in several industries of the manufacturing sector in Hong Kong . As the word 'piecerated' denotes, wage rates should be measured on a per-piece basi s. However, products vary from establishment to establishment and even within an establishment in size, value, style, material used , degree of sophistication and skill required, etc. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to standardize the piece unit to fit all industries concerned. Hence, a time basis is employed to measure piece-rated wages. When asking for piece-rated wages, the normal output of an average worker within a certain time period is obtained together with the rates per unit of output. An assumption has been made that there is sufficient work for the worker to work unceasingly within the time period. In view of this, the wage rate of piece-rated workers should not be used to calculate actual earnings.

5.4 Reliabilit~ A sample of 2 000 establishments cannot bear detailed analysis. The detailed breakdowns of wage rates for individual occupatlons and est.ablishment pay pratices in Vole 11 are therefore recommended for rough guidance only.

5.5 Old and New Survey There are a number of differences hetween the olrl and new survey in definitions of terms, coverage of establishments .'ind occnpa t i"ns and so forth. Comparisons on the results of the two surveys should take i nto consideration the differences of the two surveys.

5.6 Suppression of statistical information In this report, statistics compiled basing on data collected from less than 10 establishments are suppressed from publication because e i ther (1) data are insufficient t o provide meaningful statistical results, or (2) there is a possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
