Specific topics considered include "a. errors in computation, b. distribution of household size by sub-district, c. distribution of sex-ratio by sub-district, d. variation of age-structure by sub-district, e. problems of Chinese population. Special attention was given to the consistency of the definition of categories and the distribution patterns of the reported figures." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
