7 Preface Development is about improving the lives of people. Policy and fiscal decisions should rely on data that answer questions regarding who these people are, where and how they live, and how their lives are changing. The demographic and related data that answer these questions are essential to policymakers and development planners across nearly every sector of our society. The fundamental purpose of the population and housing census is to provide actual, accurate, complete and timely facts for planning and policy-making purposes. The census is unique because it is the only source of detailed socio-economic and demographic data at small geographic areas including neighborhoods and communities. The Central Bureau of Statistics Aruba is proud to present the results of the Fifth Population and Housing Census. The census was financed by the Fondo Desaroyo Aruba (FDA) and coordinated and analyzed by the Central Bureau of Statistics. A host of persons contributed in various ways to the successful outcome of this major undertaking. A special thank you goes to all participating households who had given their full support to the Census The enumerators and supervisors who labored to collect the information that is presented in this publication, the many governmental departments, ministries and NGO s who contributed to the Census 2010, are gratefully acknowledged. The core team consisted of Mrs. M. Plaza-Maduro, BSc., appointed as census commissioner, Mrs. M.J. van der Biezen-Marques, BSc., census counterpart and dr. F.C.H. Eelens, who acted as senior census advisor, provided by the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI). The core team was assisted by the census team, consisting of the following persons: Mrs. D.I. Helder, Ph.D, Mrs. Drs. M.R. Vigelandzoon, Mrs. Drs. K.J. Peterson-Kock, Mr. R.E. Werleman, Mr. M.T. Giel, Mrs. Y.C.J. Figaroa-Kelly, Mr. H. de Cuba, Mr. R.J.C. van der Biezen, Mr. J.F.M. Esser, M.Sc., Mrs. Drs. G.J. Arendsz, Mr. R. Derix, Ph.D, Mrs. Drs. S. Geerman and Mrs. Drs. Y. Pourrier. The census team was for a prolonged period extended with other personnel of the CBS, involved in training sessions, logistics, fieldwork guidance and control, editing and coding. We thank them all for their commitment. The fifth population and housing census can be considered as a successful undertaking. This publication presents a selection of the results of the 2010 Population and Housing Census. We are confident that information on the size, distribution and characteristics of our population will serve for developing sound policies and programs aimed at fostering the welfare of Aruba and its inhabitants. Further in-depth analyses about social-economic and demographic issues will be published shortly, highlighting emerging trends and future challenges. We hope that they will play an indispensable catalytic role in fruitful policy debates, optimize planning processes and consolidate the foundation of our country. Drs. M.J. Balkestijn Director of the Central Bureau of Statistics Aruba Preface 7

25 Organization of the enumeration process Organizing a Population and Housing Census is a difficult task to complete and most certainly when in one weeks time all housing units on Aruba have to be visited. For practical purposes, Aruba was therefore divided into 56 enumeration districts and 1068 enumeration areas (EA). Enumerators were assigned an EA each and were in charge of visiting all housing units in that enumeration EA, some 29 to 35 housing units per enumeration area. Each enumeration area was supervised by a head enumerator and an assistant. The head enumerator was in charge of all the Census activities within his enumeration area, including the daily supervision of the progress made by the enumerators, and the daily checking for errors and inconsistencies in the forms completed by the enumerators. Head enumerators and their assistants were mostly head of schools and teachers who coordinated their Census activities from their school buildings that, for the duration of the Census week, were transformed into Census District Offices. Enumerators were selected on a number of criteria which were, among others, level of education, ability to perform a full time job during the Census week, and past experience with Census taking or with other surveys conducted by the Central Bureau of Statistics. Of the enumerators selected, nearly 50% were teachers and other public servants, who were exempted from duty for the duration of the Census week, with retention of pay. Research method During the 2010 Census, two different methods of data collection were used. Census data were collected by means of a short questionnaire completed on paper, and a long questionnaire completed on a Triple E netbook (hand held computer). The paper and digital questionnaires were almost identical, with the exception that the digital questionnaire included 30 extra questions compared to the paper one. The paper questionnaire was completed in the majority of the enumeration areas (in 998 out of 1068 enumeration blocks), whereas netbooks were used for data collection in 70 EAs. A systematic sample was drawn out of the pool of enumeration areas. In each enumeration district at least one enumeration area was canvassed by means of a digital questionnaire. In developing the paper and digital questionnaires, three important factors were considered. Firstly, the questions had to conform to the Principles and Recommendations for Population and Housing Censuses, 2008, as described by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Statistical Division, United Nations. Secondly, the questions had to reflect as much as possible the areas of interest of important local Census data users from both the public and the private sector, who were consulted prior to the development of the questionnaires. Thirdly, the comparability with the previous Censuses had to be maintained as much as possible. Taking these factors into account, a large number of questions of the 2000 Census questionnaire were incorporated into the 2010 Census questionnaires, and new questions were added to tailor the information needs of Census data users and to conform to new recommendations issued by the United Nations.

27 Pilot Census A pilot Census was conducted from April 15 to April 20, During the pilot Census every aspect of the Census was tested, including the technical aspects of the different instruments to be used during the actual Census, and the level of logistic and operational efficiency. Thus, the questionnaires were tested, as well as the training programs for all those involved, the instruction manuals, the data editing process, the coding of the data, the programs used to produce the tables, etcetera. Based on information gathered during the pilot Census, some changes were made in the questionnaires and in the training program for the enumerators. In addition, the pilot Census provided important field experience for the enumerators who were to act as head enumerators during the Census week. Training of Census personnel All personnel involved in the Census, including staff of the Central Bureau of Statistics, were trained well in advance to ensure an optimal functioning during the Census week. Enumerators were trained on the contents of the questionnaire and the procedures to be followed during the Census week. Enumerators using the netbooks were trained separately. They received information on the contents of the more detailed digital questionnaire and were instructed how to use the netbooks as a data entry device and an interviewing tool. Head enumerators and assistants received additional training on administrative procedures to be conducted at their Census District Offices. CBS personnel were in charge of all training sessions, and trained some 1200 individuals. After the training sessions, the PowerPoint presentation used to instruct the enumerators was made available through the 2010 Census website ( for everyone who wanted extra information on the questionnaires and procedures to be followed during the Census week. Geographical tools To ensure an optimal enumeration of all living quarters on Aruba, enumerators were provided with recently updated maps of their enumeration area, created by means of the Geographical Information System (GIS) of the Central Bureau of Statistics. Enumerators were instructed to visit all living quarters on the map of their enumeration area and also all other living quarters they encountered in the field that were not on the map. Enumerators had to add the latter to the map and make corrections where necessary. This information was used to further update the CBS GIS. In each Census District Office, a detailed map of that entire enumeration area was displayed. Head enumerators and their assistant were encouraged to explore their enumeration area before the start of the Census week. Another important tool used for the analyses of the Census data was the Geographical Address Classification (GAC). The GAC divides Aruba in 8 regions and each region is further divided into zones, and then into streets. A one-digit code is assigned to regions, a two-digit code to zones, and a five-digit code to streets (for more information see: Geographic Address Classification Aruba, CBS, 2006). The GAC was used to geographically depict the data gathered during the Census. Pilot Census 27

35 Sociological approach: An unattached person in this approach has the same characteristics as in the formal approach. In addition, the person should not be living together, on a durable basis, with a partner and should not have children in the same household who are living together with a partner. Household During a Census, it is very important to determine whether individuals occupying the same living quarter also belong to the same household. An essential criterion is whether these individuals have made common arrangements for their subsistence, including arrangements for food and other essentials. In addition, it is important to determine whether these individuals share a common room in the living quarter (a living room, dining room, kitchen, etc.), and/or share their meals. For example, a live-in housemaid sometimes belongs to the household where she works, and sometimes not. It all depends on whether or not the live-in housemaid, after her daily work, can retire to her own living quarters, where she separately, and independently can spend her spare time (e.g. watch television, eat a meal, etc.). A household may either be: - a one-person household, i.e. a person who makes provision for his/her own food or other essentials for living, without combining with any other person to form part of a multi-person household, or - a multi-person household, i.e. a group of two or more persons living together who make common provision for food or other essential for living. Households are classified by type, according to the number of family nuclei and unattached persons they comprise. The relationships, if any, among the members of the household are also taken into account. Contrary to the 2000 Census, where the enumerator was in charge of the difficult task of determining the household type, the 2010 Census questionnaire included a special set of simple questions that were used by a computer program to determine the household type. The type of household, as presented in the tables, is based on conjugal nuclei and unattached persons, using the formal approach. Consensual family nuclei are not used in the classification of the household by type. Four types of households can be distinguished: A. Collective household A collective household is defined as a household of more than ten persons without any family relation to each other. Often these individuals can be found in institutions, such as homes for the elderly, orphanages, prisons, etc. Household 35

36 B. Non-collective household a. One person household b. Nuclear household, defined as a household consisting of a single conjugal family nucleus c. Extended household, consisting of persons related to each other, but not comprising a nuclear household. An extended household is further subdivided into the following categories: c1. One family nucleus and other persons c2. Two or more family nuclei and other persons c3. Two or more family nuclei without other persons d. Composite household, consisting of persons not all related to each other. A composite household is further subdivided into the following categories: d1. One family nucleus and other persons d2. Two or more family nuclei and other persons d3. Two or more family nuclei without other persons A. Homeless household A homeless household is defined as a household without shelter that would fall within the scope of living quarters as defined in the next section. These persons carry their few possessions with them, live and sleep in the streets or in any other space on a more or less random basis. In any Population Census, it is difficult to enumerate the homeless population. Fortunately, the group of homeless people in Aruba is quite small. Although more than a few addicts live on Aruba, they normally live in so called choller houses. The fact that they live in a house, whatever its condition, means that they are not homeless. Living quarter A living quarter is a building (or part of a building), or any other construction, in which precisely one household resides. According to this definition, a building inhabited by two households, thus consists of two living quarters. Examples of living quarters are: a house, a trailer, a cuarto, etc. During the Census, only occupied buildings were enumerated. Vacant buildings were not included. They were separately canvassed, but are not included in this book of tables. Buildings under construction were only included if they were already occupied. Living quarter 36

37 Two types of living quarters are distinguished: - A housing unit: a separate and independent place of residence, used only by one noncollective household. This includes structures of various levels of permanence and quality. - Collective living quarters: structural and independent places of residence intended for habitation by collective households. Collective living quarters usually have certain common facilities, such as cooking and toilet installations, baths, lounge rooms, or dormitories. Housing units are divided into six categories: - House: A building consisting of a suite of rooms and its accessories. - Apartment (1-5): A small set of apartments consisting of one to 5 apartments. In Aruba, an apartment is considered to be either one of several housing units in a larger building, or an annex or small construction in the garden that is used by a separate household. - Apartment (1-6): A large set of apartments, consisting of 6 or more apartments. - Separate room is a house: A separate household can also occupy a room within a house. For instance, a live-in housemaid not belonging to the household of the employer may in some cases occupy a separate room in the house. - Trailer/container: The most important characteristic of a trailer is that it is built on a chassis. The wheels of the trailer can be removed, but having a chassis on which wheels can be mounted is essential. In a few cases, containers normally used for the shipment of goods have been converted to serve as a small housing unit. - Cuarto: A cuarto usually has the following characteristics: mostly of wood or metal sheets and not movable; separated from the main building; often with no facilities such as water and electricity; mostly consisting of only one room, sometimes with an improvised section used as a kitchen or bedroom; usually intended for temporary habitation. - Condominium: A condominium is a relatively expensive apartment in an apartment building, most often inhabited by tourists. The apartment is individually owned, but the use and access to common facilities, such as hallways, elevators, exterior areas is controlled by the association of owners that jointly represent the ownership of the whole property. Living quarter 37

38 - Other: Any kind of housing unit not included in one of the six previous categories. Collective living quarters are divided into the following categories: - Homes for the elderly: Homes for the elderly are set in permanent structures. In these institutions elderly persons live and are cared for. - Orphanage: Orphanages houses not only orphan children, but also children who are not adequately cared for by their parent(s). - Nursing home: A nursing home is an institution where personal and nursing care is provided for individuals who are unable to care for themselves because of a (chronic) health condition. - Prison: A penitentiary or correctional institute that houses individuals who have committed a crime for which they have received a prison sentence. - Other: The residual category for collective living quarters that do not conform to any of the above-mentioned types.

41 Population tables A. Tables dealing with general characteristics of the population Place of residence The place of residence is the geographical place where an individual usually resides. The place of residence was classified according to the GAC-system. The tables report the place of residence by region and zone. Homeless individuals were classified according to the region and zone where they spend most of their time and spend the night. Nationality During the Census, all individuals enumerated were asked to report their nationality. Those who reported having more than one nationality were asked to indicate which one was most important to them. In the tables dealing with country of nationality, only a number of countries are stated separately. Those countries, of which their nationals do not constitute a significant number of individuals residing on Aruba, are included in regional rest categories. B. Tables dealing with the living arrangements (in households and family nuclei) of the population Reference person Tables dealing with the characteristics of the reference person are not included in this publication. During the 2010 Census, the term reference person was not used in the same manner as was the previous Census. In the 2000 Census, the reference person was used as a tool to help establish the relationships between the members of the household. However, during the 2010 Census, the relationship between the members of the household was determined on the basis of another set of questions completed for all members of the household. Therefore, enumerators were instructed to choose a reference person as a mere helpful tool in finding the person who could be the most helpful in completing the housing form, given that the owner of the living quarter or the one responsible for paying the rent is often the one who knows the most of the living quarter. Relationship to head of household was not asked in the 2010 Census. Population tables 41

42 Occupation The occupation variable describes the kind of work a person did at the workplace (in their job), during the week preceding the Census, by the person employed. The International Standard Classification of Occupations, 2008 (ISCO-08) was used to code occupation. ISCO- 08 is a classification system for organizing information on labor and jobs of the economically active population. ISCO-08 was published in 2008 and is the fourth iteration, following ISCO-58, ISCO-68 and ISCO-88. It should be noted, however, that compared to ISCO-88 the names of some of the major groups in ISCO-08 have been slightly changed to more clearly specify their contents. In addition, some occupational groups have been moved from one major group to another. ISCO-08 classifies jobs and defines it as a set of tasks and duties performed. An occupational category is a set of jobs whose main tasks and duties are characterized by a high degree of similarity. The classification structure of ISCO-08 consists of four levels: major groups, sub-major groups, minor groups, and unit groups. The basic criteria used to classify the jobs are skill level and skill specialization required to competently perform the tasks and duties of the occupations. The ISCO-08 divides occupations into 10 major groups: 0 Armed forces occupations 1 Managers 2 Professionals 3 Technicians and associate professionals 4 Clerical support workers 5 Service and sales workers 6 Skilled agricultural, forestry and fishery workers 7 Craft and related trades workers 8 Plant and machine operators, and assemblers 9 Elementary occupations The tables in this publication only present the classification by major occupational group. The following briefly outlines the ISCO-08 major groups and is meant to facilitate the interpretation of the tables. 0 Armed forces Members of the armed forces are those personnel who are currently serving in the armed forces, including auxiliary services, whether on a voluntary or compulsory basis, and who are not free to accept civilian employment. It includes conscripts enrolled for military training or other services for a specified period. Population tables 50
