  • 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.

    Situation Analysis of Children in the Pacific Island Countries © United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Pacific Office December 2017 This report was written by Kirsten Anderson, Ruth Barnes, Awaz Raoof and Carolyn Hamilton, with the assistance of Laura Mertsching, Jorun Arndt, Karin Frode, Safya Benniche and Kristiana Papi. Maurice Dunaiski contributed to the chapters on Health and WASH. Further revision to the Child Protection chapter was done by Shelley Casey. The report was commissioned by UNICEF Pacific, which engaged Coram International, at Coram Children’s Legal Centre, to finalise 14 Situation Analyses and a regional overview of Pacific Island Countries: the Cook Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. In-country data collection was implemented in the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji and Solomon Islands. UNICEF Pacific is a multi-country office based in Fiji, with country offices in Vanuatu, Kiribati and Solomon Islands. UNICEF Pacific promotes the rights and wellbeing of every child in the 14 Pacific Island Countries, which are home to around 1.2 million children and youth, living on more than 660 islands and atolls stretching across 17.2 million square kilometres of the Pacific Ocean. The Situational Analyses were managed by a Steering Committee within UNICEF Pacific and UNICEF EAPRO, whose members included: Andrew Colin Parker; Gerda Binder (EAPRO); Iosefo Volau; Laisani Petersen; Lemuel Fyodor Villamar; Maria Carmelita Francois; Settasak Akanimart; Stanley Gwavuya (Vice Chair), Stephanie Kleschnitzki (EAPRO); Uma Palaniappan; Vathinee Jitjaturunt (Chair) and Waqairapoa Tikoisuva.

  • 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).
