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 of confidentially and as most users do not have the capacity to analyze unit record level data, it is usual to present the data a multilevel tables at various geographical levels, for example suco, sub district, district and country. While multilevel tables retain as much information as possible by selected major dimensions (geographical unit, age, sex etc.) the amount of information included in each table presents more complexity than most people can interpret. Comparison between units is difficult both because of the complexity of the tables 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 facilitates comparison between districts. The document contains both charts to assist in visually understanding the data, and tables that show the raw numbers on which the charts were based. The census data contains much more detail than has been shown here. For access to that detail see the National Directorate Statistics, Dili website at http://dne.mopf.gov.tl/ or contact : Direcao Nacional de Estatistica Caicoli, Dili Timor-Leste Phone:670-3339527


Map of Timor Leste


Population While the Timor Leste 2004 census collected information on people who lived in both private houses and collective households (for example, religious communities) most of the tables that follow are based only on the responses of people in private dwellings. This table shows the actual resident population, by district.

The population pyramid for Timor Leste shows the traditional pyramidal shape of a country with a very young population (44% of males were less than 15 years old), unlike Australia or Western Europe where population pyramids are no longer pyramidal! The feature that makes the pyramid for Timor Leste unique is the relatively small size of the population aged 25-29 (at the 2004 census). It is not possible to tell from census data alone whether there was a significant reduction in the birth rate after the invasion in 1975, what proportion were killed in subsequent troubles or whether significant numbers have joined the East Timorese diaspora in many other countries of the world.


The profiles of many rural districts show this effect even more dramatically, but in addition to the above possible explanations is the effect of internal migration (particularly to Dili). Another feature that makes the Timor Leste population different from developed countries is the relative proportion of males:females in the oldest age groups. In western countries the number of males in the oldest age groups is much smaller than the number of females. In Timor Leste this does not appear to be so.

Never Married Married Widowed Divorced Separated

Given the large proportion of the population who are children, it is hardly surprising 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% in Lautem and Viqueque. It is worth remembering that percentages can be misleading, in the sense that they disguise differences in population size. The actual number of widow/widowers in Dili (3716) is actually more than the number in 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 be expected that there would be relatively few households that are headed by a woman. While the national level is 18.9% a few Districts (Manatuto, lautem and Emera) have higher proportions. See appendix 3 for head of household data.

With the internal migration to Dili, it is probably not unexpected that there should be some pressure on household size there. Aileu and Emera districts are surprisingly similar, while Oecusse has comparatively few large households. See appendix 4 for additional household size data.

In the absence of birth registration data, the Census gives some indication of the fertility of the population. In Latum, for example, nearly one woman in five (aged 15-54) 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 education infrastructure, as well as creating pressure for employment in future years. There is some indication from the census that a short term peak in the birthrate has been passed in 2001, but it is difficult to know what the effect of continuing unrest will be. There is potentially considerable year on year variation that may be a result of political as well as resource issues.

While there are not internationally agreed upon guidelines about at what age people are sexually mature, females who give birth to a child at relatively young ages significantly inhibit their chances of further education and may, in fact, be victims of child abuse. Chart 20 shows the number of births at ages less than 16 and the proportion that represents of people who reported a first birth in the period 2000-2004 in each district.

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). The overall ratio of literate males to literate females is 1.23 with a range of from 1.1 in Oecusse to 1.35 in Emera.

There appears to be a high proportion of ‘missing data’ in the tables of reported level of education. It is of concern that among the people for whom data is available 6.1% of the population aged 6+ reported never having been to school at all (ranging from a low of 1.5% in Dili to 10.4% in Bobonaro. See appendix 6 for data on education and literacy.

Labour force participation data separately identifies people who work for the Government, the United Nations and NGOs (Non Government Organisations) as well as self employed and people who work for private industry. The activity with most participants (46%) is subsistence farming and fishing. A small proportion of people are identified as unemployed – in most districts less than 1.5% and 2% in Dili. The data on the activities of people who are not in the labour force suggests that there is a much higher rate of ‘disguised’ unemployment, particularly in Dili where 12.6% 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 it hosts 29.6% of its population aged 15+ as students. Nationally, retirees represent 3.2% and people who are sick or disabled represented another 1% of the population 15 +. Retirement, as it is known in western countries does not seem to be an option here. See appendix 7 for more data on labour force participation.

Disability The 2004 Census included information on households where there was a person with a physical or mental disability. Chart 29 shows that in Licquisa more than 16% of households had at least one disabled person. In Emera more than 4% of households had a mentally disabled member. A further 2% of households reported both physically and mentally disabled members. See appendix 8 for additional data on household disability. Chart 30 Households with disabled members

Language One characteristic of populations that may assist in forming a united society (or alternately create significant divisions) is commonality of language. For what is otherwise such a small country, Timor Leste, has a large number if identifiably different languages. The census does not provide the historical and cultural reasons for the linguistic divergence, but factors such as limited land communication and contacts with overseas seafaring cultures no doubt contributed. One of the current issues is internal migration. To some extent identification of a population’s ‘mother tongues’ can provide some hints at the directions and extent of 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 Leste languages and the number and percentage of speakers of those languages in Dili District. On face value, the data shows movement to Dili has been most from the adjacent districts, with significant flows both from the west and the east. It is important to recall the population pyramid for Oecusse that seems to indicate that there 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 included because it helps clarify the census data. The author’s work is acknowledged and appreciated.


Regional Variation Maps The maps that follow are from a presentation by Mr Carlos R. Risopatron Timor Leste: Social and Economic Diagnostic Checking Charles Darwin University June 2006. While the rural districts are all generally show the characteristics of less development than Dili District (lower levels of literacy, higher proportions of the population engaged in subsistence agriculture), there are disparities among the districts in their level of development. The maps included here show average persons per household, population density and high school graduates.
