The following section provides a more focused lookat the group of persons engaged in subsistence activities in Chuuk State.The subsistence economy of Chuuk State showed interesting variations among the regions (Table 9.14). The 1994data revealed that the Oksoritod region had the highest proportion working in subsistence (30 percent of the workingage population) followed by Mortlocks (21 percent). These two areas are located in the Outer Islands andsubsistence is the primary way of life. Northern Namoneas, on the other hand, had very little subsistence activity (3percent), probably due to the fact that it is the main center of Chuuk State and the people are more involved informal work and little in subsistence activities. The 2000 Census data showed that the proportion of workingpersons in subsistence was highest in the Mortlocks (23 percent), followed by Southern Namoneas (22 percent)lastly Oksoritod (17 percent). Northern Namoneas still had the least proportion engaged in subsistence activity andOksoritod’s involvement had been reduced.Table 9.14: Percent of Population in Subsistence Work by Region, Chuuk State: 1994 and 20001994 2000Population Market oriented Subsistence Population Market oriented SubsistenceRegion 15+ years Number Percent Number Percent 15+ years Number Percent Number PercentTotal 29,068 430 1.6 3,119 11.9 31,587 2,299 7.3 5,134 16.3Lagoon 22,700 374 1.6 1,544 6.8 23,777 2,085 8.8 3,571 15.0N.

The proportion of subsistenceactivities in Chuuk State was about 11 percent and 16 percent in 1994 and 2000, respectively. The pattern remainedthe same for males and females, with a larger proportion of males than females in subsistence. Interestingly, theproportion of females in subsistence had tripled, showing their active participation. The peak ages of subsistenceactivity in 1994 and 2000 occurred with males at age groups 25 to 29, and 30 to 34 respectively. The females peakages were at the older age groups 40 to 49 in 1994, and, 50 to 54 in 2000. Although there were variations in thepeak ages for both males and females, there was slight fluctuation by age group among the age groups.84 Chuuk Branch Statistics Office, Division of Statistics, FSM Department of Economic Affairs
