Foreword This report covers the detailed results of 2001 Namibia Population and Housing Census for Erongo Regional Profile. The first report for the Census was the Preliminary Report, which was released in March 2002. The results, which were presented in that report, were provisional in nature. They were based on manual tabulations, and provided population totals categorized by females and males. The second report was the National one, which was released in August 2003, and provides detailed results at national and regional levels. The current report provides regional detailed basic highlights from the Census. These highlights were derived from detailed tabulations and analysis, which were undertaken after the completion of data processing of the Census information collected in the questionnaires. There is therefore a likelihood that some of the figures presented in this report may differ slightly from those in the Preliminary Report due to some errors in the manual compilation. There is a need to note that the Census collected information at both personal and household levels relating to basic characteristics of the population. Basic indicators in the form of percentages and rates are presented for both levels. The indicators are also given at regional, urban and rural as well as at constituency levels. The report does not provide information on why or how the population is characterized. The information relates to what is happening to the population. The report relates to all persons who were in Erongo region during the Census Reference Night of 27 to 28 August, 2001. All persons who usually resided in the region, but were not present during the Census Reference Night, are therefore not included in the analysis. On the other hand, all those persons who usually did not reside in Erongo, but were present during the Census Reference Night, are included in this report. Information on the population, which usually resides in the various regions has been presented in the National Report. It is not possible to mention all the various national and international bodies and individuals who have contributed in the undertaking of the Census exercise. However, we are grateful to the technical, financial and material support provided by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the Governments of Sweden, United Kingdom, Spain, France and the United States of America.

Our sincere appreciation goes to the Grade 11 learners and the Primary School teachers who worked respectively as interviewers and supervisors during the main Census enumeration. We would also like to acknowledge the support provided by the regional and local leadership towards the whole Census exercise. The contribution of the rest of the Census staff to the whole operation is appreciated. Last, but not least, we would like to acknowledge the support and cooperation of the general public, especially during the enumeration period.

It is our sincere hope that the Census results, and in particular this report, will be put to good use by both planners and policy makers for objective formulation and implementation of programmes and policies for the development of our nation.

Chapter 1 General Overview

1 General Overview

1.1 Total Enumerated Population

The total population enumerated in Erongo was 107 663. Out of these, 50 040 were females while 57 616 were males. It should be noted that this population is not the same as those who usually reside in the region. These were the persons who were physically present on the Census Reference Night of 27-28 August 2001. Some of the enumerated persons were visitors and travellers who usually reside elsewhere. Likewise, persons who usually reside in Erongo, but were not present on the Census reference night, were enumerated elsewhere if they spent the night in Namibia.

The enumeration exercise covered all persons in private households and institutions, the homeless and overnight travellers. Figure 1.1 below provides a breakdown of the population by these groups. The population in private households constitutes close to 96 per cent of the total enumerated population. Persons in institutions make up 2 per cent, while the homeless, overnight travellers and those who were in hotels, lodges, etc. constitute the remaining 2 percent of the enumerated total population.

The distribution of the household population by the size of the households can be observed from the same figure while the distribution of households by size is shown in Figure 1.2. One-person households constitute 19 percent of all households in the region. However, the population in these households makes up only 5 percent of the total household population. Likewise, households with 6 or more members constitute about 19 percent of all households, while their population is slightly more than 40 percent of the total household population.

1.2 Population Distribution

80 percent of the population in Erongo Region is in urban areas

The enumerated population distribution by urban and rural areas as well as by constituencies is shown below. It should be noted that urban areas are so proclaimed by the Government. Table 1.2.1 presents the population distribution by urban and rural areas and by constituency. In the case of Erongo region, 80 percent of the population was enumerated in urban areas, indicating that this region is predominantly urban.

Walvis Bay Urban constituency is the most populous constituency with 26 percent of the total population, while Arandis and Omaruru constituencies are the least populous, each with about 7 percent of the population in the region.

Chapter 2 Population Structure and Composition

2 Population Structure and Composition Information on sex and age forms the basis for detailed analysis of the characteristics of any population. The Census collected information on age, sex, marital status, citizenship and place of birth for all persons who were enumerated. Information on sex and age in completed years provides the basis for the analysis of the sex and age structure of the population.

2.1 Age Structure: Regional Level

More than 6 out of 10 persons in Erongo are aged between 15 and 59 years

The age distribution of the population by broad age groups and by area is presented in Table 2.1.1 below. At the same time, Figure 2.1.1 presents the regional population pyramid by 5-year age groups. It can be observed from the table that the proportion of the young population, i.e. under 15 years of age, is fairly low (28%), while that aged 15 – 59 years is about 64 percent. This is more pronounced in the population pyramid, which has a very broad mid section. The upper part of the pyramid, which is relatively narrow, is made up of the population aged 60 years and above, i.e. the senior citizens, and consists of only 6 per cent of the total population.

2.2 Age structure: Urban and Rural areas

The age distribution of the population by broad age groups for urban and rural areas is shown in Table 2.1.1 above. Figures 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 below present the population pyramids for the respective areas by five-year age groups. There exist significant differences on the age structure between urban and rural areas. Table 2.1.1 shows that the proportion of the young population, i.e. under 15 years of age, is 26 and 36 per cent respectively for urban and rural areas. In the case of the population 15 - 59 years, the corresponding percentages for the two areas are respectively 66 and 54. The population aged 60 years and above is 5 per cent in the urban areas and 9 per cent in the rural areas. The urban areas have relatively more people in the economically active age groups, i.e. 15 – 59 years. This phenomenon can be observed in the pyramids for the two areas. The pyramid for the urban areas is bulky in the middle, implying a large proportion of the working population and smaller proportions of the young and senior citizens. Unlike the case for urban areas, the pyramid for the rural areas has a relatively broad base and a narrow apex. This is a demonstration of the relatively higher proportion of the young population in the rural areas.

2.3 Age Structure: Constituency Level

The age distribution of the population by broad age groups for the seven constituencies is shown in Table 2.1.1. Except for Swakopmund, Walvis Bay Rural and Walvis Bay Urban constituencies, the age structures of the others have basically a rural characteristic. They all have a fairly young population ranging between 33 and 39 per cent and an old population of between 7 and 11 per cent. Swakopmund, Walvis Bay Rural and Walvis Bay Urban constituencies have the same features as those for urban areas, where the bulk of the population is in the middle-ages and ranges between 67 and 71 per cent. It should be noted that the proportion of the senior citizens in the Daures constituency is close to 11 percent.

2.4 Sex composition

For every 100 females in Erongo there are 115 males

Table 2.4.1 shows the sex ratio as well as the sex composition (percents) of the population by area. Males make up 53 per cent of the whole population in the region. The sex ratio, which is the number of males per 100 females, is 115. The sex composition of the population in urban and rural areas as well constituencies follows the same pattern as the regional one. In all areas, the males are more than the females. Figure 2.4.1 shows the sex ratio by age for the regional population. The number of females and males are almost equal for the age groups below 20 years. For the age groups 20 – 69, there are relatively more males than females. Between 70 – 95, the sex ratio declines, implying that there are relatively more females than males in these age groups.

Figure 2.4.1 Sex ratio by age, Erongo Region, 2001 Census

2.5 Marital status

There are more widowed women than men in Erongo

The Census asked all persons their current marital status. Table 2.5.1 below presents the distribution of the population aged 15 years and above by type of marital status. It can be observed that 55 per cent of the females and 59 per cent of the males had never been married at the time of the Census. Over two out of ten of the population aged at least 15 years are married with certificate. The proportion of those married traditionally is relatively small It can be observed that there are relatively more widowed females than males.

All persons were asked to state their country of citizenship. Tables 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 show the total population and the non-Namibian population respectively by country of citizenship in Erongo region. In Erongo, 96 per cent of the population were nationals of Namibia. Europeans and South Africans each make up about third of the non-Namibian nationals.

2.7 Place of birth

Information on place of birth is useful for the analysis of lifetime migration. To identify their place of birth all persons were asked to state their mothers’ place of usual residence at the time of their birth. Table 2.7.1 shows the place of birth for all persons who were enumerated in the region. It can be observed that only 40 per cent of the population was born in Erongo region. More than 20 per cent of the enumerated population was born in the three regions of Ohangwena, Omusati and Oshana, and 65 percent of them are males.

Chapter 3 Disability

21

3 Disability The Census asked all persons about any type of permanent disability or limitation. Disability is defined as a limitation in carrying out everyday activities at home, at work, or at school because of long-term physical or mental condition.

Six various types of disability are identified: blind, deaf, impaired speech, impairment of hands, impairment of legs and mentally disabled/mentally ill.

Tables 3.1 and 3.2 below show the disabled population by area and sex as well as by type of disability. It can be seen from the first table that the proportion of the disabled population in Erongo Region was close to 4 per cent. There are no differences between females and males. The proportion of disabled persons is lower in urban than rural areas. In the former it is 3 per cent as against around 5 per cent in the latter. At constituency level, there are significant differences. The proportion of disabled persons ranges from 2 per cent in Karibib to 7 per cent in Daures.

It can be observed in Table 3.2 that blindness is the most common type of disability in Erongo. It affects 41 per cent of the disabled population. Impairment of legs accounts for 22 per cent of all disabilities.

Chapter 4 Early Childhood Development

4 Early Childhood Development The questions on existence of Early Childhood Development (ECD) programmes asked in the Census are explained in detailed in Appendix 1. Briefly, all children aged 3 – 6 years were asked about attendance of any type of ECD programme. These include Creche/Kindergarten, Day Care Centre/ Nursery School and Pre-Primary School for preparation to enter formal Primary education.

The Census counted 8265 children aged 3 – 6 years of whom 51 percent are females and 49 percent are males. Table 4.1 below reflects that slightly more than 39 percent of the female children and 36 percent of the male children were attending an Early Childhood Development Programme.

Significant differences in urban and rural areas can be observed. Significantly higher proportions of children have attended an early childhood development programme in urban than in rural areas.

Attendance of Early Childhood Development Programmes in constituencies varies notably. A relatively small proportion of 24 percent and about 27 percent of children 3 – 6 years of age in Daures and Karibib constituencies respectively, are attending an ECD Programme compared to the rest of the constituencies. It is worth noting that Swakopmund has the highest attendance of ECD, which is almost 50 percent.

It can be observed in Table 4.2 that out of the 3 133 children aged 3 – 6 years attending any type of early childhood development programme, 71 percent are attending Crèche or Kindergarten, only 8 percent are attending a Day Care Centre or a Nursery School, while about 21 percent are attending Pre-Primary School. Higher proportions of children are attending pre-primary school in rural than in urban areas. There are no significant differences in proportions of female and male children who are attending a particular early childhood development programme.

Chapter 5 Education and Literacy

24

5 Education and Literacy The questions on education and literacy that were asked in the Census are given in Appendix 1 together with their concepts and definitions. Briefly, the Census asked all persons, aged 6 years and above, about school attendance and highest level of education attained. In addition, there was a question on their ability to write and read in any language with understanding, so as to measure the level of literacy.

School attendance means attendance at any regular educational institution, public or private, for systematic instruction at any level of education. Examples of educational institutions are primary schools, secondary or high schools, technical schools, agricultural institutes, teacher training colleges and universities.

The questions on school attendance aimed at dividing the population into three categories. Those who have never attended school, those who are presently attending school, college or university and those who have attended school, college or university some time in the past, but are presently not attending school, college or university.

The question on educational attainment was put to people who are presently attending or have attended school, college or university. Educational attainment means the highest standard, grade or years completed by a person at a formal educational institution.

The purpose of the question on literacy was to divide the population into two groups: Those who are able to write and read a message in any language with understanding and those who do not have this ability. People who can write but not read or who can read but not write are not literate. The question on literacy was straightforward: “Can you write and read a message in any language with understanding?”

The Census enumerated 91 662 persons aged 6 years and above of whom 8 percent have never attended school. About 23 percent are currently attending and slightly over 65 percent have left school. The numbers of females and males are almost equal in these categories, except that more females are still attending school.

The figure reveals significant differences in school attendance for those who never attended and those who have left school in urban and rural areas. Relatively more persons have never attended school in rural areas than in urban areas, whilst a higher proportion of persons have left school in urban areas. Almost equal proportions of persons are still at school in both urban and rural areas.

Table 5.2.1 shows that close to 49 percent of all those aged 15 years and above and had left school have completed primary education while about 21 percent had completed secondary education. About 22 percent did not complete primary education. More males than females did not complete primary education. On the other hand, for those with complete primary education, there are no significant differences between females and males in the region. However, slightly more males than females have completed technical training after secondary school.

The figure shows school enrolment rates in single years for the population aged 6 – 24 years. More than 90 percent of all children aged 8 – 15 years attend school. The highest enrolment rate is 97 percent for females aged 9 – 11 years. Enrolment rates for females are significantly higher than those for males in the age group 15 – 18 years.

The figure shows that school enrolment at earlier ages is higher in urban than in rural areas, while at older ages it is the opposite situation.

5.3 Literacy

Census data on literate and illiterate people must be used with special caution. The approach that was used to collect the information – Can you write and read in any language with understanding? – tends, by experience, to overestimate the number of literate people since no literacy test was administered. There was a provision for two languages for each person.

The literacy question was put to all persons aged 6 years and above and resulted in over 83 000 literate persons. It may be more relevant to use 15 years as the lower age limit, which gives just over 69 000 literate people out of a population of close to 75 000. This leads to a literacy rate of 92 percent for all persons aged 15 years and above.

Table 5.3.1 shows that females are more literate than males in all areas, with the exception of Daures where the opposite case can be observed. A significant proportion (19%) of females in rural areas lack the ability to write and read. Urban females have by far the highest literacy rate of about 96 per cent. At constituency level, the literacy rate ranges from 80 percent in Daures to 98 percent in Walvis Bay Rural. Females in Daures constituency have the lowest literacy rate of 79 percent in the region.

Chapter 6 Labour Force

27

6 Labour Force The questions on economic activity that were asked in the Census are given in Appendix 1 together with concepts and definitions.

The Census asked all persons aged 8 years and above about their activity during the seven days prior to the Census night, August 27-28, 2001. A person was regarded as having worked, if he or she had worked even for one hour for pay, profit or family gain during that period. Consequently, people who worked for at least one hour but who had another activity, as main activity, for example as student or homemaker, were economically active according to this definition.

The major purpose of the Census questions on economic activity is to divide the population into those who are currently economically active, that is, belonging to the labour force and those who are outside the labour force. Other questions allow the breakdown of the employed persons by major groups of occupation, industry and status in employment.

Persons regarded as being economically inactive are grouped into seven categories. These are students, homemakers, retired, old age, income recipients and severely disabled. These persons were not in any paid or self-employment during the past seven days prior to the Census reference night.

This report focuses on the population aged 15 years and above in order to conform to international practices.

Figure 6.1 shows that 71 percent of the population aged 15 years and above belongs to the economically active group, which forms the labour force, while about 24 percent is outside the labour force. The labour force is made up of the employed (66%) and the unemployed (34%). In the economically inactive population group, students make up 35 percent, while homemakers constitute 34 percent.

6.1 Labour force participation rate

Table 6.1.1 shows that the labour force participation rate for the region is 71 percent. The rate is higher for males (77%) than for females (64%). For urban areas the rate is higher (74%) than that for rural ones (58%). However, there are significant differences between females and males within both areas. For urban areas the rates for females and males are 68 and 79 percent respectively. The corresponding rates for rural areas are 45 and 68 percent respectively. At constituency level, the rates for both females and males range from 50 to 83 percent respectively for Daures and Walvis Bay Rural. The table also shows significant differences between females and males within each of the constituencies.

6.2 Labour force

About 71 percent of the population aged 15 years and above belongs to the labour force in the region. Table 6.2.1 shows that 66% of the population in the labour force is employed, while 34% is unemployed. There are significant differences between females and males. The proportion of employed females is 58 percent as against 72 percent for males. The corresponding percentages for the unemployed are 42 and 28 respectively. The Census also distinguished between those unemployed but previously worked and those who were first time job seekers.

6.3 Employed persons by status in employment

Table 6.3.1 reveals that 68 percent of all employed persons are employees in the private sector, where the number of males is almost double that of females. The government employs about 16 percent of all employees in the region and again the males outnumber the females. Around 6% of all employed people are other employers with hired or paid employees, while 3 percent are other own account workers without hired or paid employees, but may have unpaid family workers. Individual employers account for 7 percent of all employed persons. An individual employer operates an own business with paid employees.

6.4 Employed persons by occupation

The largest occupational group is elementary occupations, which includes labourers and other unskilled occupations, and constitutes 28 percent of all employed persons. There are no significant differences in terms of the numbers of females and males. However, slightly over 35 percent of all employed females belong to this occupation group. The second largest occupational group is craft and related trades workers, who make up 19 per cent of all employed persons. Males make up 90 percent of those in this occupation category, and about 26 percent of all employed males fall under this occupation. Professionals together with associate professionals make up 12 percent of all employed persons. There are no significant differences between the numbers of females and males in this occupational group. Other occupations that are predominantly male-dominated are armed forces, skilled agricultural and fishery workers and plant and machine operators and assemblers. The clerks occupational category is female-dominated with about 15 percent of all employed females falling under it.

6.5 Employed persons by industry

The Private and Public Services industry alone employs about 17 300 people, which is almost half of all employed persons. While there are no significant differences between the numbers of females and males, around 68 percent of all employed females belong to this sector. The industrial sector of manufacturing, mining and quarrying, electricity, gas, water supply and construction, which is the second largest, is heavily male dominated and employs about 7 200 people, or about 21 percent of all employed. The agricultural industry, which is heavily male dominated, employs about 6 900 people, or about 20 percent of all employed persons.

6.6 Employed persons by educational attainment

Table 6.6.1 shows that close to 1 out of 5 employed persons, aged 15 years and above, did not complete primary education, while slightly more than 2 out of 5 had completed primary education. Close to 30 percent of all employed persons had completed secondary or higher level of education. There are significant differences between females and males in all the educational categories. About 13 percent of all employed females have incomplete primary education as against 21 percent of all employed males. The corresponding percentages for those who completed primary education are 46 and 41 respectively for females and males. In the case of secondary and higher, the corresponding percentages are respectively 36 and 25.

6.7 Unemployment rate

The rate of unemployment in Erongo Region is 34%

The data on unemployment should be used with caution. No information was collected, either on number of working hours or on underemployment. Collecting this information normally requires detailed specific interviews with respondents in a labour force survey.

Young people, notably females, have the highest unemployment rate. Figure 6.7.1 indicates a similar shape over the unemployment rate by age for both sexes. The rate is slightly higher for females than for males in all ages.

Almost 20% of all unemployed have previously worked. To a larger extent, younger people are first time job seekers than older people.

Females in all areas in the region have higher unemployment rates than males. Females in Daures and Walvis Bay Rural constituencies have the highest unemployment rates of 56 and 51 percent respectively.

Unemployment rate is the proportion of the unemployed persons in the labour force for a given sex/age population group, i.e. the number of unemployed persons divided by all people in the labour force in the same sex/age population group.

Table 6.7.1 shows that more than half of all unemployed persons have attained primary level of education. Slightly more than 1 out of 6 unemployed persons has attained secondary level of education. The proportion of unemployed persons with tertiary level of education is about 1 percent.

6.8 Population outside labour force

Persons who are outside the labour force are grouped into six categories of which three are predominant. These are students, close to 35 percent, homemakers (34%) and retired (14%). Females significantly outnumber males in the homemakers’ category. The case is also the same for the retired and old age categories.

Chapter 7 Household Composition and Characteristics

33

7 Household Composition and Characteristics The Census defines a private household as a group of people related or unrelated, who live in the same dwelling unit and share or have common catering arrangements. A person who lives alone and caters for himself/herself forms a one-person household. Any usual member of a household who was absent from such a household was not counted in that household but in the household where he or she spent the Census night. The Census separates members of private households from people in institutions, such as hospitals or hotels. This chapter presents data on average size of households, relationship to the head of the household, means of communication available, main language spoken at home and main source of income.

7.1 The average household size

Table 7.1.1 shows that on average a household in Erongo Region is made up of around 4 members. In general, the household size in urban and rural areas as well as in the constituencies of Erongo are almost identical, having about 4 members per household. The breakdown of household size in the region, rural and urban areas and at constituency level is presented in the detailed tables.

7.2 Household composition

In order to determine the composition of a household, the relationship of members of the household to the head of the household is taken into consideration. Table 7.2.1 below indicates that the son or daughter relationship to the head or spouse is predominant in the Erongo Region. Own children, i.e. daughters and sons account for 27 per cent of all household members. These together with the head and spouse form the nuclear family. Other relatives to the head/spouse make up 19 per cent, while grandchildren account for 7 percent. The presence of other relatives in the household determines the degree of extended family.

Tables7.2.2 and 7.2.3 present the respective urban and rural household population by relationship to the head/spouse. In both urban and rural areas, children of the head/spouse are still the predominant group with 27 and 25 per cent respectively. The proportion of other relatives to the head/spouse is relatively higher in urban (20%) than in the rural areas (16%). The opposite is the case for grandchildren with only 5 per cent in urban as compared to 15 per cent in the rural areas.

Table 7.2.4 shows the distribution of households by area and by the sex of the head of household. It can be observed that, for the region as a whole, there are more male-headed households (65%) than female-headed ones. A similar situation can be observed in urban and rural areas. At constituency level, the male-headed households are relatively more than female-headed households in all constituencies.

7.3 Access to means of communication

The Census asked all households about accessibility to selected services/facilities. These included television, radio, newspaper, telephone and computer. Distinction should be made between ownership and accessibility. A household may have accessibility to such a facility/service without necessarily claiming its ownership. Table 7.3.1 below presents a picture of the diversity of accessibility to these communication facilities. Figure 7.3.1 presents the regional situation with regard to accessibility of these facilities. It can be observed that the radio is accessible to 89 percent of all households in the region. The computer is the least accessible, with 24 percent of the households having an access to it.

36

There are significant differences between urban and rural areas in terms of accessibility to these facilities/services. The urban households are relatively better off than the rural ones in terms of accessibility to the facilities under consideration. For example, the television is accessible to 79 percent of the households in urban areas as compared to only 27 percent in the rural ones. The telephone is accessible to 78 as against 49 percent respectively in urban and rural areas.

At constituency level, except the radio, Daures, Karibib and Omaruru are the ones with least accessibility to the rest of facilities/services under consideration.

7.4 Main language spoken in the household

The Census included a question on main language usually spoken or most spoken at home. In Erongo Region several languages were identified. Tables7.4.1 and 7.4.2 indicate the distribution of households by main language spoken. Oshiwambo languages are the most spoken languages in households in the region, with 37 percent of the households communicating in these languages, followed by Afrikaans and Nama/Damara languages with 22 and 21percent respectively.

7.5 Main source of household income

The Census asked all households their main source of income. It should be noted that households may rely on various sources of income. However, they were asked to state only the main source. Table 7.5.1 below presents the distribution of households by their main source of income. It can be seen that wages and salaries is the leading main source of income in the region with about 67 percent of the households having reported so. Farming was reported as the least main source with 4 percent of the households. Significant differences exist between urban and rural areas. Whereas about 73 percent of the households in urban areas reported wages and salaries as their main source of income, the corresponding percentage for the rural areas was only 41. Farming as a main source of income was reported by 16 percent of the households in the rural areas.

At constituency level, it is surprising to note that Daures has pension as the main source of income for about 26 percent of the households, ahead of all the other constituencies. Predominantly more households in the rest of the constituencies reported wages and salaries as their main source of income.

8 Housing Conditions

The Census asked all households questions on housing characteristics. These included type of housing unit, tenure, materials used for construction, and source of energy for cooking, lighting and heating.

8.1 Type of housing unit

Nine types of housing units were identified. These are detached house, semi-detached/townhouse, apartment/flat, guest flat, part commercial/industrial, mobile home (caravan or tent), single quarters, traditional dwelling, and improvised house (shack). The types of housing units are defined in Appendix 1.

Table 8.1.1 shows that detached and semi-detached houses are predominant as they are occupied by almost six out of ten of all households in the region. Two out of ten households live in improvised housing units or shacks.

In urban areas, detached and semi-detached dwellings are occupied by 66 percent of the households as against 50 percent in rural areas. Traditional houses are also common in rural areas where 20 percent of the households reside in them. A significant proportion of households reside in improvised housing units in both urban and rural areas.

At constituency level, detached and semi-detached dwellings dominate in all constituencies. In Daures, one third of the households occupy traditional dwellings, while in Swakopmund and both Walvis Bay Rural and Urban, a significant proportion of households live in improvised housing units (shacks).

8.2 Type of tenure

Information on tenure is presented in Table 8.2.1. Most of the housing units (32%) in the region are owner occupied without mortgage. About 28 percent of the households occupy dwellings, which are owner occupied with mortgage, while another 23 percent reside in dwellings, which are rented, but not tied to the job. The same trend can be observed in urban areas. In the case of the rural areas, owner occupied dwellings without mortgage predominate (58%). A significant proportion (20%) of households also occupy dwellings provided by the employer.

Significant variations exist at constituency level. Dwellings which are rented, but not job-tied as well as those owner occupied with mortgage are fairly common in Arandis, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay Rural and Walvis Bay Urban. Dwellings, which are owner occupied without mortgage, are commonly found in Daures, Karibib and Omaruru. A significant proportion of households in Karibib and Omaruru reside in dwellings provided by the employer.

8.3 Average number of persons per room

Households were asked to give information on the number of rooms used for sleeping in their housing units. Such rooms used for sleeping exclude places like kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, stoeps and verandas. The average number of persons per room is shown in Table 8.3.1 below.

8.4 Materials used for construction

Information on the main materials used for construction of roofs, walls and floors are given in Tables 8.4.1 to 8.4.3. It can be seen from Table 8.4.1 that the most commonly used material for roofing in the region are asbestos sheets. Two out of five households reside in dwellings with asbestos sheets. The proportion of households, which live in dwellings whose roofing material is corrugated iron sheets is about 30 percent. For urban areas, close to half the households reside in units whose roofing material is asbestos sheets as against only 7 percent in rural areas. On the other hand, most rural households have corrugated iron sheets as the main roofing material for their dwellings.

The average number of persons per room provides an indicator of the extent of overcrowding, which can lead to the spread of contagious diseases among the members of the household.

The region has an average of about 2 persons per room. The number of persons per room is slightly higher in rural than in urban areas. Walvis Bay Rural has the highest number of persons per room while Arandis has the lowest.


40

At constituency level, households in areas along the coastline utilise mainly asbestos and wood for the roofs of their dwellings, while those households residing in areas away from the coast rely on corrugated iron sheets for this purpose.

With respect to the materials used for the floor, cement is the most common material. Table 8.4.2 shows that over two out of three households in the region occupy dwellings with this type of floor. The proportion of households residing in dwellings with such a floor in urban areas is higher than that in rural areas with 79 and 54 percent, respectively. At constituency level, cement is the most common material used for the floor.

With regard to materials used for the construction of walls, cement blocks/bricks predominate in the region. Close to 64 percent of the households live in dwellings with walls made out of cement. The same pattern can be observed in urban areas. For rural areas, both cement blocks/bricks as well as corrugated iron sheets predominate. At constituency level, cement blocks/bricks are most common in all constituencies, except Daures where both corrugated iron sheets and sticks, mud and cow dung are also commonly used for wall construction.

8.5 Source of energy used for cooking, lighting and heating

Tables 8.5.1 to 8.5.3 present the percent distribution of households by sources of energy for cooking, lighting and heating. Table 8.5.1, indicates that most households (67%) in the region use electricity for cooking. This proportion is lower in rural areas (12%) than in urban ones (81%). About 20 percent of the households in the region rely on wood or charcoal from wood for cooking. In the rural areas over 70 percent of the households use wood or charcoal from wood for cooking purposes. At constituency level, the most common source of energy used for cooking in Arandis, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay Rural and Walvis Bay Urban is electricity, while wood or charcoal from wood is commonly used in Daures, Karibib and Omaruru constituencies.

It can be observed in Table 8.5.2 that over 7 out of 10 households use electricity for lighting. Higher proportions of households utilise this source for lighting in urban (85%) than in rural (21%) areas. In the latter, paraffin and the candle are quite popular. With regard to the constituencies, the same urban pattern can be observed in Arandis, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay Rural and Walvis Bay Urban, while the same rural pattern can be observed in Daures, Karibib and Omaruru constituencies.

Table 8.5.3 shows that a high proportion of the households (45%) in the region rely on electricity for heating their homes. Slightly over 40 percent do not heat their homes. More than half of the households in the urban areas use electricity for heating purposes, while another 38 percent do not heat their homes. In the rural areas, almost 60 percent of the households do not heat their home, while wood and charcoal is utilised by about 28 percent of the households. In the constituencies, the same urban pattern can be observed for Arandis, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay Rural and Walvis Bay Urban, while Daures, Karibib and Omaruru follow the same rural pattern.

Chapter 9 Water Supply and Sanitation

9 Water Supply and Sanitation This chapter covers household sources of drinking and cooking water as well as the distance to the source; type of toilet facilities; and how garbage/refuse is disposed of. Inadequate sanitation and lack of safe water for drinking and cooking create conducive environment for the spread of infectious and parasitic diseases, and are therefore a public health concern. Each household was asked to state the main source of water for drinking and cooking and also the one way walking distance to the water source. Likewise, information on the main type of toilet facility used by the household was collected, as well as the main means used by the household to dispose garbage/refuse.

9.1 Type of water supply

96% of all households in Erongo Region have access to safe water

The percent distribution of households by source of water for drinking and cooking is shown in Figure 9.1.1 as well as in Table 9.1.1 for the region, urban and rural areas and constituencies. About 92 percent of the households in the region depend on piped water. For public health purposes, water from pipes and boreholes, except those with open tanks, is regarded as safe for drinking and cooking.

For the region as a whole, slightly over 96 percent of the households have access to safe water. However, 3 percent of the households get their water from rivers, streams or dams. Over 90 percent of the households in the region have a relatively close accessibility to the source of water, as the distance is less than 100 metres. This is indicated in Table 9.1.2, which presents the percent distribution of households by walking distance to the water source. Around 3 percent of the households have to cover more than one kilometre to get their water.

There are significant disparities between urban and rural areas. The proportion of households with safe drinking water is 99 percent in urban areas while that in rural areas is 81 percent. This implies that close to one out of five households in the rural areas rely on unsafe water for drinking and cooking, and therefore put them at a greater risk of infectious and parasitic diseases. Most of the households in the urban areas have a relatively close accessibility to the source of water, with all the households located within a distance of 100 metres. For the rural areas, the corresponding proportion is 65 percent.

There exist notable differences between constituencies. Daures is relatively worse of with regard to the provision of safe drinking water where 1 out of 4 households have no access to safe water. In the rest of the other constituencies, over 80 percent of the their households have access to safe water. With regard to the distance to the source, the constituency of Daures seems to be relatively worse of as more than 20 percent of the households are more than half a kilometre away from the water source.

9.2 Type of toilet facility

Over 1 out of 10 households in Erongo Region have no toilet facility

Table 9.2.1 presents the percent distribution of households by type of toilet facility. Over 80 percent of the households in Erongo region have access to flush toilet. Slightly over 10 percent utilise the bush. There are notable differences between urban and rural areas. Over 90 percent of the households in the urban areas use flush toilet while the corresponding rural percentage is just over 25. Nearly 50 percent of the rural households use the bush as against 2 percent in the urban areas. More than half of the households in the Daures constituency have no toilet facility.

Table 9.3.1 shows the per cent distribution of households by means of disposing garbage/refuse. The most common means of disposing garbage in Erongo region is the regular collection, with 76 percent of the households having this service. In the urban areas, 90 percent of the households have their garbage regularly collected. The corresponding percentage for the rural areas is only 19. Over 1 out of 5 rural households dump their garbage by the roadside.

Chapter 10 Fertility

46

10 Fertility Generally, indicators of the levels of fertility are based on data from either civil registration or reported births in a specified period and the population relating to the same period. In Namibia, the coverage of the civil registration system is not complete and, as such, information on the number of births is deficient. Likewise, reported information on births from surveys and Censuses is usually under-reported and is therefore likely to underestimate the levels of fertility.

An indirect method of estimating the levels of fertility has been developed. Estimates of fertility based on the reported births in the last twelve months provide the true pattern, but under-estimate the level of fertility. On the other hand, estimates based on the average number of children ever born to women provide lifetime estimates of fertility levels, but without a time reference. The indirect technique adjusts the levels of fertility estimated from reported births in the last twelve months by using the estimates from the average number of children ever born to women.

In the 2001 Census all women in child-bearing ages were asked questions on the number of live births as well as the month and year of the last live birth. The total number of live births provides an estimate of lifetime fertility while the information on the last live birth provides current estimates of the level of fertility. The latter are usually underestimated, and the lifetime fertility estimates are used to adjust them to arrive at the expected current levels of fertility.

There are various measures of fertility. The indicator used here is the total fertility rate (TFR). This is the average number of children a woman would be expected to have if she survives through her reproductive period, i.e. from about age 15 to 49 years. In addition to the total fertility rates, the pattern of fertility is also provided. This indicates the contribution to the total fertility rate by the various age groups of the women.

10.1 Levels of Fertility

On the average, women in Erongo have about 3 children

The total fertility rates for Erongo region by urban and rural areas and by constituency are shown in Table 10.1.1. On the average, at the time of the Census, women were expected to give birth to about three children. Women in urban areas were expected to have 3 children, while those in rural areas gave birth to 4 children. The total fertility rates for the constituencies ranged from 3 in Walvis Bay Urban to almost five children in Daures.

10.2 Fertility Pattern

Teen-age females contribute close to 9% to the total fertility in Erongo Region

The pattern of fertility for women in child-bearing ages in Erongo Region is shown in Table 10.2.1. Motherhood starts at a fairly early age in the region, and child bearing is still significant in the late ages. Teen-age females contribute close to 9 percent to the total fertility, while women aged 40 years and above contribute another 8 percent. Child-bearing for women is concentrated in the 20 – 35 year age groups which contribute about 67 percent to the total fertility.

Age-Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR) is the average number of births per woman in a specific age group for all the women in that age group, irrespective of whether they had a live birth or not, during the last 12 months before the Census.

Chapter 11 Mortality and Orphanhood

48

11 Mortality and Orphanhood Indicators of the level of mortality are usually based on data from either civil registration or reported deaths in a specified period and the population relating to the same period. In Namibia, the coverage of the civil registration system is not complete and, as such, information on the number of deaths is deficient. Likewise, reported information on deaths from surveys and Censuses may be under-reported and hence lead to an underestimation of the level of mortality. Various techniques have been developed to provide reasonable estimates of the levels of mortality.

In the 2001 Census, information on deaths was collected at two levels. Women in child-bearing ages were asked about their total number of live births and those still surviving as well as the survival status of their last live birth. If these are reported correctly, then they would provide reasonable measures of infant and child mortality. At the same time, all households were requested to report on all deaths that occurred in the household since 1998. If there was a death in 2001, then the sex and age of the deceased was also recorded. This information will provide the sex and age pattern of mortality. In addition, if the deceased was a female in child-bearing ages, maternal related cause of death was also reported.

Orphanhood information was collected for all members of the household. Each person was requested to state the survival status of his/her biological parents, i.e. both mother and father.

11.1 Mortality

Table 11.1.1 shows the trend in the number of deaths reported by households from 1998 to 2001 in Erongo region. It can be observed that the number of deaths has been increasing since 1999.

Table 11.1.1 Number of reported deaths, 1998 – 2001, Erongo Region, 2001 Census

Figure 11.1.1 shows the percent increase in the number of deaths between 1999 and 2001 for the region, urban and rural areas as well as the constituencies. For the region, as a whole, the number of deaths increased by 125 percent. The percent increase in the urban areas was 146 as against 95 in the rural ones. At the constituency level, the percent increase ranges from 67 to 217 for Arandis and Swakopmund constituencies respectively.

The magnitude of mortality in the region can also be observed by looking at households, which had at least one death within 3 years before the Census. This is shown in figure 11.1.2. For the region as a whole, 8 percent of the households had experienced at least one death within the three years before the Census. In Daures constituency, 1 out of 5 households had had a death within the last three years before the census.

There are many indicators, which are used for describing the levels of mortality. Four of these indicators are presented here. The first one is infant mortality rate, which is the number of infant deaths per one thousand live births. That is, the number of babies who die before their first birthday per 1 000 live births. The second one is child mortality rate. This is the number of deaths for children aged one to four years per 1 000 children in the same age group. The third measure is the under-five mortality rate, which is the number of children who die before they celebrate their fifth birthday per 1 000 live births. The last indicator is the expectation of life at birth, which is the number of years a new-born would be expected to live if it were exposed to the current pattern of mortality. Expectation of life at birth provides an overall indicator of the level of mortality for the whole population under consideration.

The estimates of infant, child and under-five mortality rates are based on information from children ever born and those surviving, while the estimates of expectation of life at birth are based on the reported child deaths aged 1 – 4 years for the year 2001.

The various indicators are presented in Table 11.1.2. The infant mortality rates for Erongo Region are 43 and 40 infant deaths per 1000 live births respectively for females and males.

Infant mortality is lower for urban than for rural areas. With regard to constituencies, Omaruru has the highest infant mortality rate for females with 56 infant deaths per 1 000 female live births, while . Arandis has the highest male rate of 57. Arandis had the lowest female infant mortality rate, while Walvis Bay Rural had the lowest rate for males.


50

Child and under-five mortality rates follow the same pattern as that of infant mortality. However, the rates of under-five mortality are relatively high. For the region, urban and rural areas females are worse of than males. The same can be observed for the constituencies of Omaruru, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay Urban and Rural. Arandis, Daures and Karibib have higher male under-five mortality rates.

The life expectancy at birth in the region is 59 and 54 years respectively for females and males. Rural areas are worse of than urban ones. Females in Arandis and males in Walvis Bay Rural had the highest life expectancies at birth of 66 and 67 years respectively. The lowest life expectancy at birth is 47 years for males in Karibib.

11.2 Orphanhood

Information on orphanhood, particularly for children, provides an indirect indicator of adult mortality. It also reflects on the degree of dependency at household level. Table 11.2.1 below presents the number of households with at least one orphaned member aged below 15 years. About 12 percent of the households in Erongo Region have a child under 15 years of age without one parent. The proportion of orphaned children under the same age who have lost both parents is just over 1 percent. This implies that in 1 out of every 100 households there is a child without parents, relying on extended family relatives for survival. It can be observed that there are no significant differences between urban and rural areas, nor between constituencies.

The number of orphaned children aged below 15 years is presented in Table 11.2.2. For the region as a whole, about 7 percent of all children under this age have lost one parent. This is close to 1 out of 14 children under 15 years of age living with only one parent. The proportion of orphans under the same age without both parents is less than 1 percent. There are hardly any differences between urban and rural areas, nor between constituencies.

Main source of water for drinking and cooking and Distance to the water source

A measure of the well-being of Namibians is the proportion of households that have access to clean (potable) water. Distance to the water source also helps to derive times taken to collect household’s water needs. This information helps derive areas with serious water problems.


(i) Piped water inside the house: Water drawn from pipes installed in the house and originating from a central source- river, pond, lake or borehole.

(ii) Piped water outside: Water drawn from pipes installed in a homestead, but not inside the house, and originating from a central source- river, pond, lake or borehole.

The main source of income did not only refer to money, but could also be the main products produced for consumption (e.g. some farmers cultivate and depend on Mahangu. In this case farming is the main source of income). The categories used were as follows:

(i) Farming (ii) Business activities (not farming) (iii) Wages and salaries (iv) Pension (v) Cash remittance (vi) Other

62

Fertility and Mortality

Live birth A child born alive is one who cries after being born. Thus, a live birth is a birth, which results in a child that shows any sign of life irrespective of the time or period within which these signs are manifested. Miscarriages or abortions and stillbirths are not live births.

Lifetime fertility Questions on this topic were limited to female respondents aged 12 to 49 years irrespective of their marital status. The four types of data collected on this topic were as follows:

(i) Children ever born: the total number of children born alive by respondent during her lifetime.

(ii) Number of children born alive and living: the number of children, male and female, born alive to respondent living in respondent’s household on Census night.

(iii) Number of children born alive and living elsewhere: the number of children born alive to respondent but who were living elsewhere on Census night.

(iv) Number of children born alive but now dead: the number of children, male and female, born alive to respondent and who had since died.

Current fertility The number of children born alive to respondent (females aged 12-49 years) during the 12-month period preceding the Census night.

Infant mortality A question also restricted to female respondents aged 12-49 years, infant mortality referred to the number of respondent’s children who had died out of those born alive to during the 12-month period preceding the Census night.
