Gorenflo, 1995, 1994 and 2000 FSM Censuses.Southern Namoneas increased by 167 percent between 1935 and 2000, Faichuk by 315 percent, and NorthernNamoneas by 510 percent, far more than would be expected by natural increase alone!Since 1930, the percentage of the population living on Weno has generally increased over time (with the exception ofthe 1980 census)(Table 1.5). About 3 in every 20 persons of Chuuk's population lived in Northern Namoneas in 1935,but the proportion increased to around 6 in 20 by 1973 to 1994. The percentage on Faichuk remained essentiallyconstant over the period. The percentages for the other areas, however, decreased. Southern Namoneas decreasedfrom 29 percent to 22 percent, the percentage in the Mortlocks was almost halved -- from 21 percent to 13 percentwhile Pattiw slightly decreased by less than 1 percentage point and Namonuito slightly increased.Table 1.5.

These distributions allow for interpretation of changingpopulation dynamics over time, including calculation of a dependency ratio of number of probable dependents topotential workers. Adding the number of persons less than 15 years old to those 60 years and over, and dividing by thenumber of persons 15 to 59 years old calculate the dependency ratio for 1930, from data in Table 1.6. That is, it is mostprobable that persons under 15 years old are not contributing to the work force because they are in school or playing orworking around the house, and those 60 years and over are mostly "retired", and, while not all those 15 to 59 areworking to support these "dependents", many of them are, and for simplification, all appear in the denominator.However, the dependency ratio from 1930 -- 68 means that for every 68 dependents (the 6,150 persons less than 15 and60 years and over), about 100 potential workers (the 9050 persons 15 to 59) were present. A ratio of 100 would meanthat their numbers of dependents and potential workers were identical; a ratio over 100 would mean that there weremore dependents than workers, a situation, which would put increased burden on the workers.Table 1.6.

Only two percent of the population was 60 years or older. It isimportant to remember, however, that while life at that time was rougher than now, so we might expect higher earlymortality (because of typhoons, tidal waves, canoe voyaging, appendicitis and other health risks, etc.), it is also true thatmany people did not know their birth dates and may have picked younger (or older) ages than their actual ages. About3.5 percent of the Mortlocks population was 60 years and over, indicating possible age inflation, while less than 1percent of those in Oksoritod were 60 years and over.The Mortlocks also had the largest percentage of persons less than 15 years old, indicating a slightly higher birthratethan in the other areas. On the other hand, while Oksoritod had the smallest percentage of elderly, they also had thesmallest percentage less than 15 years old.It could be argued that some of the difference in age reporting was due to migration between their home area and wherethey were enumerated. The data in Table 1.7, however, seem to show that this was not the case. It is true that 1.5percent of those living in Oksoritod were "registered" in another district -- most likely in Yap because of traditionalinter-island voyaging and associated marriages and adoptions. However, the fairly large percentage of persons living inOksoritod but being registered elsewhere in Chuuk seems anomalous unless the Japanese were moving persons around(or, perhaps, movements from the Lagoon to the Hall Islands.) The situation for the Mortlocks seems more consistentwith what would have been expected at the time, more than 19 out of 20 Mortlockese being registered and living in thesame locality -- although in the case of the Mortlockese on Pohnpei, the statistics would probably look quite different.Chuuk Branch Statistics Office, Division of Statistics, FSM Department of Economic Affairs 9
