2001 RMI Statistical Abstract


FOREWORD

Iokwe,


The Economic Policy, Planning and Statistics Office (EPPSO), is pleased to present its annual publication of
Statistical Abstract 2001.

Like the previous editions, this Abstract contains a wide range of social and economic data on the Republic of
the Marshall Islands (RMI) and its people. Most of these data have been extracted from the administrative
records of various ministries and agencies of the RMI Government, statutory agencies, and from the private
sector -- all to which EPPSO is highly indebted.

EPPSO was established and assumed responsibilities for collection, analysis and dissemination of national
statistics in early 2003. National statistics were previously the responsibility of the Office of Planning and
Statistics (OPS), which was dissolved by the Government in 2002. OPS’ closure and the transfer of statistical
responsibilities to the newly established EPPSO caused some delays in the data collection process. This has
resulted in the delayed publication of this Abstract, as well as in delayed updates to some of the tables (some
tables do not yet have 2001 data).

A comprehensive editing review of the Abstract and its contents was conducted in early 2003, during which a
number of formatting and other improvements were made. Public finance data was not readily available at the
time of publication and has been excluded in this Abstract. The 2002 Abstract, due for publication in the fall
of 2003, will include (where possible) updated and expanded tables, including new types of statistics,
improved graphics, and the previously published tables on public finance.

We would like to acknowledge the Office of Insular Affairs’ Statistical Enhancement Program for its
technical assistance with this Abstract.

For any questions or suggestions for improvement, or for electronic copies of this Abstract, please do not
hesitate to contact EPPSO at: telephone (692) 625-3802, fax (692) 625-3805, email planning@ntamar.com.
Users can also visit the Secretariat of the Pacific Community website at www.spc.int/prism/country/mh, or the
Insular Areas Statistical Enhancement Program website at www.pacificweb.org for additional statistics.

2001 RMI Statistical Abstract


CHAPTER 1: GEOGRAPHY AND METEOROLOGY

The RMI consists of 29 atolls, each made up of many islets, and 5 single islands. The RMI is in the central Pacific Ocean, between
4 degrees and 14 degrees North, and 160 degrees and 173 degrees East. The atolls and islands are situated in two parallel chain-like
formations known as the Ratak (Sunrise) group and Ralik (Sunset) group. The total number of islands and islets in the whole RMI is
approximately 1,225, spreading across a sea area of over 750,000 square miles (1.9 million square kilometers). The total land area
is about 70 square miles (181 square kilometers). The mean height of land is about 7 feet above sea level (2 meters)

Urban centers are Majuro and Kwajalein atolls.

Tradewinds prevail throughout the year in Majuro and tropical storms are very rare. Minor storms of the easterly wave type are
quite common from March to April and October to November. The tradewinds are frequently locally interrupted during the summer
months by the movement of the zone of inter-tropical convergence across the sea.

Rainfall is heavy, with the wettest months being September, October and November. Precipitation is generally of the shower type,
however, continuous rain is not uncommon.

The RMI has an extremely consistent temperature regime, ranging less than 2 degrees.

Weather data for the RMI are provided by the Majuro Weather Station. The Station is located on southeastern end of Majuro Atoll,
in Delap Village. This atoll is approximately 160 square miles in area with a lagoon of about 150 square miles. The lagoon is
oblong, 22 miles long and 4 miles wide.

2001 RMI Statistical Abstract


CHAPTER 2: POPULATION

This section presents data on the growth, distribution, and projection of the RMI population. The principal sources of these data are
the 1988 and 1999 Censuses of Population and Housing. Some historical data are also provided. The Census of 1988 was taken
with reference to midnight on Sunday, November 13, 1988. It was a de facto enumeration, which means that people were counted
according to where they were on the census night. The whole RMI was included with the exception the United States Army
Kwajalein Atoll (USAKA).

The 1999 Census of Population and Housing, on the other hand, was taken using the de jure method of enumeration, which means
that people were counted according to their place of usual residence as of census reference time, which was midnight of 1st June
1999. As in 1988, the whole of the RMI was included with the exception of the non-Marshallese residing on USAKA.

The total population of the RMI in 1999 Census was 50,840. The average growth rate of the population was 1.5 percent between the
Censuses of 1988 and 1999.

The population projections provide guidance for future economic and social planning. Population projections for the years 2000-
2019 were computed by using the software package called “PEOPLE”, which projects the population by using the demographic
cohort component method. This projection is based on the population of 1999 Census of Population and Housing. It takes in to
account future changes in the components of the population, which are fertility, mortality and migration. The method starts with a
base population, which in this case was the 1999 population, distributed by age and sex. The fertility assumptions are then made,
followed by mortality, using the life expectancy at birth. Thus, the projections are made based on the fertility and mortality
conditions mentioned below, which are in fact derived from the respective census year. Both the fertility and mortality conditions
are assumed to decline (slow initial decline) as a result of a steady social and economic development.

The migration component has been ignored and the net migration (migration minus emigration) has been assumed to be equal to
zero.

CHAPTER 3: HEALTH AND VITAL STATISTICS

The section presents data on registered births, deaths, and causes of death in the RMI. The Planning and Vital Statistics Department
of the Ministry of Health is responsible for registration of births, deaths and causes of death. Vital statistics are compiled from
returns received by the department from Majuro and Ebeye hospitals and from outer island health service centers. Except where it
has been stated otherwise, the data for this section have been provided by the Ministry of Health.

Under-reporting of births and deaths is a common problem in developing countries, including the RMI. The RMI’s geographically
scattered population creates logistical challenges to the registration process, although some improvements have been made in recent
years. Users, therefore, should use the registration data with some caution.

An Age Specific Fertility Rate(ASFR) is calculated as the number of births in a year to mothers of a specific age

per women(or per 1000 women) of the same age at midyear.





The Total Fertility Rate(TFR) is a summary measure independdent of the age and sex composition of a population.

It represents the average number of children a group of women would have by the end of their reproductive years.

TFR for 1989-1998 are estimated by interpolating the census results of 1988 and 1999, using the Population Analysis Software's
ASFRPATT program. ASFR for 1989-1998 are estimated by using the Population Analysis Software's ASFRPATT program.
1999*…refers to 1999 Census of Population and Housing results.

2001 RMI Statistical Abstract


CHAPTER 4: CHARACTERISTICS OF HOUSEHOLDS

This section presents household level information available from the 1980, 1988, and 1999 Censuses of Population and Housing.
According to each census, a household is defined as consisting of a group of persons who live together and usually cook and eat
together. It may consist of one or more persons who may or may not be related to each other, and who may occupy the whole house
or part of it. If two or more groups of persons have their own separate cooking and eating arrangements but are living in the same
house, then they are treated as separate households. The keywords are “live,” “cook” and “eat together”.

The 1999 census defines a household as “a social unit consisting of a person living alone or a group of persons who sleep in the
same housing unit and have a common arrangement in the preparation and consumption of food.”

2001 RMI Statistical Abstract


CHAPTER 6: LABOR FORCE AND EMPLOYMENT

This section presents data on labor force, employment and unemployment in terms of occupational groups, industry, public and
private sectors, and nationality. Major sources of information for labor force and employment data are the 1980, 1988 and 1999
censuses. Statistics bulletins of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) provide some historical data on employment.

The Labor Force or economically active population consists of the employed and the unemployed.

According to the 1999 Census of Population and Housing, the employed population is defined as “those who were active during the
week before the census in providing for themselves or their families.” The unemployed population is defined as “ those who sought
work during the week before the census as well as those who did not seek work but were available for work.”

Those who were not in the labor force (not economically active) were defined as:


Home-makers, who were occupied with purely domestic duties;


Students who were attending school, college or training courses full-time;


Old people whose ages were fifty years or more and who, on account of age,

were not economically active;


Disabled persons, or those who were not active by reason of mental or physical disability; and

Other persons who were in institutions, such as patients, prisoners, and the like; students boarding at high schools, and
those who were reported as temporary visitors were not include in the category.

Note: The 1999 CPH results show a reduction of employment in the monetised sector (both in the public and private sub-sector)
reflecting the impact of the Public Sector Reform Program of the Government. This naturally would tend to

increase the number engaged in the subsistence sector. However, the number of 2920 in the subsistence sector
should be treated with caution, because there is a chance that those in some small fa mily businesses who are paid
may be included due to the vague borderline interpretation between subsistence activity and other small private
and other small private enterprises. The figures in this table include those employed for short durations as well.

2001 RMI Statistical Abstract


CHAPTER 7: AGRICULTURE, LIVESTOCK AND FISHERIES

This section presents production data on crops, livestock, and fisheries.

Agriculture in the RMI is primarily subsistence-based, except for the commercial production of copra. The production figures
shown here for crops and livestock were provided by the Agriculture Division of the Ministry of Resources and Development. Since
the RMI has no system of agricultural surveys, these data are subjective estimates.

Copra production and price data were obtained from the Tobolar Processing Plant, which is the sole agency for copra processing
and export.

Total landing of fish by subsistence fishermen is not available, however, commercial fish catch by foreign fishing vessels are
available from MIMRA and some data are presented here.

2001 RMI Statistical Abstract


CHAPTER 8: OVERSEAS TRADE

This section presents data on imports and exports. Imports data are presented by commodity classification and by trading partners.

The RMI adopted the Harmonized System (HS) of classification for goods imported and exported from the beginning of fiscal year
1990 (October 1, 1990). The Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) was used previously, but in this edition no data has
been presented on the basis of this system.

Data on imports and exports were obtained from the Customs and Revenue Division of the Ministry of Finance. Starting with
imports data from the last quarter of 1989, imports data have been processed with PC/TRADE software, developed by Statistics
New Zealand.

Until recently, the data did not cover tax-exempted goods. Government was not paying any import duties and so the quantity and
amount of government imports did not appear in the data. A commodity taxed on the basis of quantity values was not recorded, and
a duty based on quantity values was sometimes missing. However, steps were taken to minimize these errors from 1990 and
onwards.

The value of total imports up until and including 1988 were given on f.o.b basis. Starting from 1989, imports values are given on
c.i.f basis.

Data for 2001 were not available at the time of publication.

Values rounded to nearest thousand


Import values are C.I.F. until 1988. Exports are F.O.B.

Import values do not include re-exported goods, government imported goods
or tax exempted goods. For 1985 both imports and exports are believed
to be under-reported. Imports are preliminary estimates and subject to
revision upon revitalization. of import data entry and computer processing

2001 RMI Statistical Abstract


CHAPTER 9: VISITOR STATISTICS

This section presents data on travelers and visitors to Majuro Atoll, capital of the RMI. The collection of data on travelers to the
RMI was facilitated by the implementation of the Arrival Card System by the Immigration Division of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs in 1989. Data entry and analysis of these data were carried out by MIVA.

Visitor: A person visiting a country other than in which he/she has his/her usual place of residence for any reason other than
following an occupation remunerated from within the country visited.

Tourist: A visitor staying in the country visited for at least one night and not more than one year.

Data on non-military visitors to Kwajalein Atoll as well as sea-based visitors to the RMI (private yachts and cruise ships) are not yet
recorded by the Immigration Division and are therefore not available here.

2001 RMI Statistical Abstract


CHAPTER 10: PRICES

The RMI Consumer Price Index (CPI) was developed in 1977 by the Office Planning and Statistics of the Trust Territory of the
Pacific in Saipan. The current base year for the CPI is 1982. Although the RMI continues to rely on this CPI to monitor price
changes (the CPI is for Majuro only), the methodology utilized to develop this initial CPI is questionable (no formal surveys were
conducted to derive household consumption). The CPI was revised in early 2003, based on a Household Income and Expenditure
Survey conducted in 2002.

The CPI is meant to measure changes in the general level of the prices of goods and services which households purchase. The
current CPI is based on prices of goods and services classified in four expenditures groups in Majuro only.

(i)
Food
(ii)
Household/Personal
(iii)
Apparel, and
(iv)
Durables/Furniture

2001 RMI Statistical Abstract


CHAPTER 11: NATIONAL ACCOUNTS

RMI Gross Domestic Product estimates have been developed with assistance from ESCAP and the Forum Secretariat. The estimates
for the period 1981-90 were prepared by ESCAP based on the Income Approach, and those for 1991 and 1992 were prepared by the
Forum Secretariat based on the Value Added Approach. For this exercise, an establishment survey as well as a housing survey were
conducted for gathering the necessary data on various sectors of the economy.

The estimates for 1993 through 2001 are based on the Value Added Approach, following the methodology recommended by the
Forum Secretariat, with revisions where appropriate.

These estimates are provisional and subject to revision with the availability of more accurate and better data.

Product.

ANALYSIS BY OFFICE OF PLANNING AND STATISTICS IN 2000:
There are a few important points to note. During the mid to late 1990's, there were several big events that led to some economic contraction in the RMI.
Firstly, during the 1996-97 public sector reforms, the government cut its employment by more than 30 percent. Then came the December 1997 Typhoon Paka that
virtually handicapped the Copra Industry, followed by the early to mid 1998 El Nino event, which further exacerbated the situation. We also suspected that although
RMI is well protected because it uses the US dollar as domestic currency, the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis affected domestic demand to some extent. In early 1997,
the Ting Hong Fishing Company closed and moved out of the RMI. The above estimates on Fish contribution to GDP are based on an ADB consultant who
estimated that without Ting Hong, fish fell from its peak of over $7 million value -added to just over $3 million starting in 1999. We assumed fishing activities to
begin to pick up slightly by about 2 percent as increases in fishing activities were expected from other sectors. In late 1999, the Fish Loining Plant began to operate.
However, the ADB consultant stated this activity falls under food processing, in this case manufacturing, which is estimated to have a value-added of around $3 to
$4 million a year. The Construction and the Government sectors were both increasing consistently as Government was now rehiring more workers and there were a
few significant Government construction projects managed by Public Works and funded out of the Inter-Agency Development Fund, and as construction of private
houses on Majuro alone was increasing.

2001 RMI Statistical Abstract


CHAPTER 13: OTHER INDICATORS

This section presents data that are not part of the regular sections of the Abstract.

EPPSO’s objective is not only to collect and disseminate national statistics, but also to improve the statistical and data collection
systems and processes at the organizational level (i.e., within ministries, agencies and in the private sector). As EPPSO strives to do
this, the range and depth of this section (and the entire Abstract, for that matter) should continue to expand.
