  • Pacific Islands' Population
    New Zealand Population Review, 33/34: 95-127 Copyright © 2008 Population Association of New Zealand Pacific Islands’ Population and Development: Facts, Fictions and Follies GERALD HABERKORN* Abstract Governments in the various Pacific Island states and territories, along with their development partners and a range of regional organisations, have been participating in the multi-sectoral international development agenda that is enshrined in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs have some serious omissions in so far as they relate to key relationships between population, economic growth and sustainable development. These include an absence of reference to: population growth, population structure, fertility, migration, urbanisation and the development of appropriate data bases and information systems for developing policy frameworks and implementation plans. This paper reviews contemporary Pacific Island populations in the context of demographic factors that will impact on the achievement of the MDGs in the region. Some long-standing fictions are challenged in an attempt to ensure that persistent fact-less follies do not continue to misinform public policy and thus detract from the region‟s progress towards informed and sustained development in Pacific populations. acific Island countries and their development partners joined an emerging international consensus by committing in 2000 to a multi- P sectoral international development agenda enshrined in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This followed a decade of international conferences addressing key development challenges regarding the environment, population, social development, gender and human settlement concerns. The MDGs provide a comprehensive framework for eight broad development goals and 47 indicators, and serve a useful and politically important function in allowing regular assessments *Dr Gerald Haberkorn is Director, Statistics and Demography Program, Secretariat of the Pacific Community, Noumea, New Caledonia.

  • A 3000-Year Culture Sequencefrom Palau) Western Micronesia
    A 3000-Year Culture Sequence from Palau) Western Micronesia GEOFFREY R. CLARK THE SETTLEMENT OF WESTERN MICRONESIA is often considered to result from an early Austronesian population movement from Island Southeast Asia that pre­ dates the Lapita dispersal and marks the first crossing of the substantial sea gaps necessary to occupy the islands of Remote Oceania (Green 1991). For these rea­ sons much research has focused on the origin, timing, and pattern of prehistoric colonization (Kirch 2000: 175). Osborne (1958: 163) hypothesized that the linear alignment ofwestern Micro­ nesian islands could have allowed them to act as "stepping stones" for the essen­ tially synchronous colonization of Palau, Yap, and the Marianas between 3750 and 3250 B.P. (Osborne 1958: 164, 1966: 464). The "stepping stone" model was, however, falsified by field data, which had the oldest prehistoric sites dating to 3500 B.P. in the northern Marianas Islands, while the earliest sites in Palau and Yap had radiocarbon ages going back to only 2000 B.P. The general consensus arising from the archaeological data was that each archipelago was likely to have been colonized at different times by distinct groups from an already culturally dis­ parate Austronesian population in Island Southeast Asia (Intoh 1997; Masse 1990; Rainbird 1994). As Irwin (1992: 126) has noted, though, it is anomalous that the Marianas, which are almost twice the distance from insular Asia than Palau and Yap, were settled 1500 years before them. Further, early colonization of the Marianas sug­ gests an early maritime ability that was sufficient to cross a 2200-km sea gap from the Philippines (Blust 2000; Shutler 1999: 527; Wickler 2001: 185), but which failed, or was not employed, to reach other parts of western Micronesia-islands that are closer to each other than they are to insular Asia-or to volcanic islands lying farther east, such as Chuuk and Pohnpei (Figure 1).
