Introduction

As a census is both expensive and logistically difficult to undertake, it is usual to

collect information on as many variables as possible. Both for reasons ofconfidentially and as most users do not have the capacity to analyze unit recordlevel data, it is usual to present the data a multilevel tables at variousgeographical levels, for example suco, sub district, district and country. Whilemultilevel tables retain as much information as possible by selected majordimensions (geographical unit, age, sex etc.) the amount of information includedin each table presents more complexity than most people can interpret.Comparison between units is difficult both because of the complexity of thetables and the differing size of the population in each table.

The aim of this document is to extract only small amounts of data that may be of

interest in a community service context and to present it in a way that facilitatescomparison between districts. The document contains both charts to assist invisually understanding the data, and tables that show the raw numbers on whichthe charts were based. The census data contains much more detail than hasbeen shown here. For access to that detail see the National DirectorateStatistics, Dili website at http://dne.mopf.gov.tl/ or contact :

Population

While the Timor Leste 2004 census collected information on people who lived inboth private houses and collective households (for example, religious

communities) most of the tables that follow are based only on the responses ofpeople in private dwellings. This table shows the actual resident population, bydistrict.

The population pyramid for Timor Leste shows the traditional pyramidal shape ofa country with a very young population (44% of males were less than 15 yearsold), unlike Australia or Western Europe where population pyramids are nolonger pyramidal!

The feature that makes the pyramid for Timor Leste unique is the relatively smallsize of the population aged 25-29 (at the 2004 census). It is not possible to tellfrom census data alone whether there was a significant reduction in the birth rateafter the invasion in 1975, what proportion were killed in subsequent troubles orwhether significant numbers have joined the East Timorese diaspora in manyother countries of the world.

Never Married Married Widowed Divorced Separated

Given the large proportion of the population who are children, it is hardlysurprising that the proportion of the population who are in the ‘Never Married’category is above 30%. That above 45% of the Dili population are ‘Never

Married’ is a reflection on the internal migration young people to Dili.

Another social characteristic of interest is the proportion of widow/widowers.From a low of 3.5% in Dili, the proportion of widow/widowers rises to over 10% inLautem and Viqueque. It is worth remembering that percentages can bemisleading, in the sense that they disguise differences in population size. Theactual number of widow/widowers in Dili (3716) is actually more than the numberin Lautem (3023). See appendix 2 for the data on which the chart is based.

Sex of the Head of the Household

In what otherwise appears to be a very male dominated society, it may beexpected that there would be relatively few households that are headed by awoman. While the national level is 18.9% a few Districts (Manatuto, lautem andEmera) have higher proportions.

See appendix 3 for head of household data.

With the internal migration to Dili, it is probably not unexpected that there shouldbe some pressure on household size there. Aileu and Emera districts aresurprisingly similar, while Oecusse has comparatively few large households.

In the absence of birth registration data, the Census gives some indication of thefertility of the population. In Latum, for example, nearly one woman in five (aged15-54) gave birth in the year prior to the Census!

See appendix 5 for confinement data.

The high rate of childbirth puts particular pressure on health and educationinfrastructure, as well as creating pressure for employment in future years.

There is some indication from the census that a short term peak in the birthratehas been passed in 2001, but it is difficult to know what the effect of continuingunrest will be. There is potentially considerable year on year variation that maybe a result of political as well as resource issues.

While there are not internationally agreed upon guidelines about at what agepeople are sexually mature, females who give birth to a child at relatively youngages significantly inhibit their chances of further education and may, in fact, bevictims of child abuse.

Education and Literacy

The 2004 Census describes 50% of males and 41.8% of females as being

‘Literate’ in one of the languages (Portuguese, Bahasa, Tetum or English). Theoverall ratio of literate males to literate females is 1.23 with a range of from 1.1 inOecusse to 1.35 in Emera.

There appears to be a high proportion of ‘missing data’ in the tables of reportedlevel of education. It is of concern that among the people for whom data isavailable 6.1% of the population aged 6+ reported never having been to school atall (ranging from a low of 1.5% in Dili to 10.4% in Bobonaro.

Labour force participation data separately identifies people who work for the

Government, the United Nations and NGOs (Non Government Organisations) aswell as self employed and people who work for private industry. The activity withmost participants (46%) is subsistence farming and fishing. A small proportion ofpeople are identified as unemployed – in most districts less than 1.5% and 2% inDili.

The data on the activities of people who are not in the labour force suggests thatthere is a much higher rate of ‘disguised’ unemployment, particularly in Dili where12.6% of the population aged 15+ describe themselves as ‘no work available’.Nationwide that figure is only 4.5%.

One of the reasons Dili appears to have such a low participation rate is that ithosts 29.6% of its population aged 15+ as students.

Nationally, retirees represent 3.2% and people who are sick or disabledrepresented another 1% of the population 15 +. Retirement, as it is known inwestern countries does not seem to be an option here.

See appendix 7 for more data on labour force participation.

Housing

The Timor Leste Census reports many characteristics of the housing stock. Inthis section it is intended to give only an indication of the variations in the housingstock between districts.

The difference in the nature of the housing stock between Dili and the otherdistricts is quite noticeable. Nationally nearly 70% of dwellings have an earthfloor, but in Dili district the percentage is less than 22%

LanguageOne characteristic of populations that may assist in forming a united society (oralternately create significant divisions) is commonality of language.

For what is otherwise such a small country, Timor Leste, has a large number ifidentifiably different languages. The census does not provide the historical andcultural reasons for the linguistic divergence, but factors such as limited landcommunication and contacts with overseas seafaring cultures no doubtcontributed.

One of the current issues is internal migration. To some extent identification of apopulation’s ‘mother tongues’ can provide some hints at the directions and extentof those internal population movements.

Table 2 shows the districts where there were most speakers of selected

languages.

Table 2.2 shows the number and percentage of speakers of the identified Timor

On face value, the data shows movement to Dili has been most from theadjacent districts, with significant flows both from the west and the east. It isimportant to recall the population pyramid for Oecusse that seems to indicate thatthere has been very little migration of young females from that district.

Map of the geographical distribution of languages in Timor.

Unfortunately, I do not have the source for this map. It has been includedbecause it helps clarify the census data. The author’s work is acknowledged andappreciated.




Regional Variation MapsThe maps that follow are from a presentation by Mr Carlos R. Risopatron Timor Leste: Social and Economic Diagnostic Checking Charles Darwin UniversityJune 2006.

While the rural districts are all generally show the characteristics of lessdevelopment than Dili District (lower levels of literacy, higher proportions of thepopulation engaged in subsistence agriculture), there are disparities among thedistricts in their level of development. The maps included here show averagepersons per household, population density and high school graduates.
