Meanwhile, substantial test survey and census workshop were organized in preparation for a spot survey.
On this basis, the researchers carried out a survey among old folks above sixty and their families in nearly 60 dongs and ris of Pyongyang City, South Phyongan and South Hamgyong Provinces
In this course a lot of information about the demographic conditions and socio-economic activities of the aged persons, their educational and health status, the characteristics of their families and understanding of the question of aged people were collected.
