That the proportion of Chinese residents was 25.2% last year, and increased to 28.2% this year? That's a distressingly common error in the general news and would fit pretty well with the 8% increase in population.Jan Morenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834641501438709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714063.post-47891476280339648792008-06-03T22:35:00.000+09:002008-06-03T22:35:00.000+09:00Herr Morén - I looked up the 2006 figures on the H...Herr Morén - <BR/><BR/>I looked up the 2006 figures on the Hōmushō home page.<BR/><BR/>http://www.moj.go.jp/NYUKAN/nyukan68-5.pdf<BR/><BR/>However, I am not confident about the commensurability of the figures in last year's report and those appearing in the press. The differences in between the spouse/child (<I>haigūsha</I>) figures for 2006 and those quoted in the news reports for 2007 are too huge.<BR/><BR/>We will in the dark somewhat until the Hōmushō posts its report on its website--whenever that will be.MTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626942240117432624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714063.post-17509394228941421822008-06-03T22:34:00.000+09:002008-06-03T22:34:00.000+09:00This comment has been removed by the author.MTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626942240117432624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714063.post-90630135738908620622008-06-03T22:24:00.000+09:002008-06-03T22:24:00.000+09:00Don't see where you got that 3.0% increase form th...Don't see where you got that 3.0% increase form those news notices?
