INTRODUCTION The 2008 Compendium of Statistics contains more graphs, pictures and several new tables compared to earlier versions of the Compendium. There is also more text explaining the data. All this is meant to make the Compendium more user-friendly and assist the reader in using the figures correctly. These improvements were a result of the recommendations from the Statistics Section of the ESO comprising of Ronnie Andersson, Yvonne Newland, Julietta Beaupierre, Selburn Christian, Theodore Thompson and Narnia Ebanks, and Shanna Best of the Economics Section. The work to implement the changes and produce the 2008 Compendium was assigned to Ronnie Andersson (text), Theodore Thompson (tables and graphs) and Narnia Ebanks (illustrations). Yvonne Newland and Selburn Christian assisted with the final editing by the Director. The vision of the ESO for the Compendium of Statistics is to develop it into a Statistical Yearbook for the Cayman Islands and this version of the Compendium is a step closer to achieving this goal.

Notes1 Data does not include fertilizer sales by nurseries, garden centres or private sector retailers2 The numbers 12-8-28 are the N-P-K ratios of the fertilizer, that is, the proportion of Nitrogen

(N), Phosphorous (P) and Potassium (K) contained in a blended fertilizer.

12-8-28 is Multi-purpose fertilizer used in agriculture and horticulture that has been formulated to suit Cayman Islands' soil nutrient profiles which is low in Potassium (K)

The Department switched from 12-8-28 to 12-6-24 in the later half of 2008 to reduce cost in the face of skyrocketing fertilizer prices driven by high oil prices.

Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer is no longer available as current US port security and shipping regulations prohibit the export of this fertilizer due to its potential explosive properties.The small quantity sold in 2006 represented the remaining inventory that was imported prior to the introduction of the current US regulations.

The Rescue Organic Fertilizers were introduced in 2008.

Educational Attainment

The world’s education systems differ considerably, both with respect to their structures and to their curriculum contents. As a consequence, it is often difficult for national educational policy makers to compare their own education systems with those of other countries.

UNESCO has for a long time been concerned with the design of an International Standard Classification of Education that would facilitate comparisons of education statistics and indicators of different countries on the basis of uniform and internationally agreed definitions. The present version, known as ISCED97 was formally adopted in November 1997.

Guidelines to ISCED97 can be downloaded from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics website; www.uis.unesco.org. The table below is a template on how to classify educational programmes in the Cayman Islands by ISCED levels, which starts at the lowest level (0) for pre-primary.

Note: ISCED level 6 means “leading to an advanced research qualification”, that is earned Doctorate (Ph. D.). Hence, “Masters” should be classified as 5A and not at level 6. ISCED level 5A contains educational programmes at university normally of the length of 3 – 5 years, sometimes longer. Hence, Bachelor, Masters and first professional (law, dentistry, medicine, veterinary) degree programs are all classified as 5A.

In addition to levels of education ISCED97 contains a classification of education programmes in the Fields of Education. Eurostat (the statistical office of the European Union) has published a more detailed manual on Fields of Education and Training.

In the SLC 2007 literacy was measured by a simple question: 'Can you read and write' with response alternatives yes or no. The percent not stated was high (7.2%) Among the youth (15-24) 98.3 percent was literate, 1 percent not literate and 0.6 percent not stated.

The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) has developed a methodology "Literacy Assessment and Monitoring Programme (LAMP)The LAMP employs a sample survey methodology to select individuals 15 years and older who are asked a number of background questions as well as questions designed to assess literacy levels. The questionnaire measures a spectrum of literacy levelsfrom very basic reading, writing and numeracy to high level skills needed to fully participate in a learning society.

A note on the Labour Force Survey

The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is in most countries the most important source for labour market information.

The Labour Force Survey (LFS) comprises persons 15 years and over residing in the country who are employed or actively seeking work during the reference period. In the Cayman Islands, the LFS is also used as the basis for population estimates. The LFS seeks information on respondents' labour market status and profile during a specific reference period, normally a period of one week, immediately prior to the start of the survey.

The first LFS in the Cayman Islands was conducted in 1991. The LFS is a random sample survey. The LFS is a random sample survey. This means that not every household will be surveyed and those selected are done so purely by chance. However, since all households have an equal chance of selection, the more often the survey is conducted, the higher the chance of repeat selection. It must be stressed that, the ‘sample selection’ is generated by computer and is completely random.

Labour Force Surveys are carried out in many countries around the world. The International Labour Organization (ILO) has published recommendations concerning the definitions to be used in LFS. The LFS in the Cayman Islands uses internationally agreed concepts and definitions.

The LFS data reported to the Economics and Statistics Office (ESO) are treated in strict confidence and used for statistical purposes and published in aggregate form only.

It must be stressed that the results from the LFS are estimates. Results from sample surveys are always subject to some uncertainty because only a part of the total has been measured. This is called the sampling error. The uncertainty in the estimates can be calculated and the results are given as so called confidence intervals. For example the population in the Cayman Islands was estimated at 57 009 in the 2008 LFS, and the 95% confidence interval was calculated to be between 55,200 to 58,800.

Foreign Trade Statistics

The foreign trade statistics comprises imports of goods to and the exports of goods from the Cayman Islands. The trade statistics are compiled mainly from the computerized records maintained by the Customs Department. These records are derived from the documents submitted by all traders (importers, exporters and agents) who are required to record the statistical codes (which are based on the Cayman Islands Tariff Code (CITC)), the value and quantity of the goods imported or exported. In keeping with international standards, exports are recorded at ‘free on board” (f.o.b) while imports are recorded at cost, insurance and freight (c.i.f).

The Economics and Statistics Office (ESO) reviews and edits the data obtained from the Customs Department. These are then supplemented or verified by other trade data from the United States Bureau of Census, and the statistical offices of the United Kingdom and Jamaica. The data is then converted into the United Nations Standard of International Trade Classification (SITC revision 3). Hence, the main task for ESO is to compile and check the credibility of the data, and more importantly, classify them into tables that can be useful for analysis.

The foreign trade statistics tables in this chapter cover only merchandise (visible) trade. Trade in services (tourism, financial services, etc) is not covered here. However, the expansion of the foreign trade statistics to include trade in services statistics is one of the medium term objectives of the ESO.

Exports for 1998-2000 are estimated. Export figures for 2003-2008 are based on new data from US and UKand include domestic exports and re-exports.These new data consist of import figures from the US Census Bureau and the UK Trade information websiteand the Jamaica Statistics Office.

The high import figure in 2005 is due to reconstruction after hurricane Ivan in 2004.

Notes: 1 Import figures from the USA tend to be overstated while those from other countries tend to be underestimated, due to the

shipment of Cayman Islands bound imports through Florida. 2 Most of the oil imported from Netherlands Antilles originate from Venezuela, although some come from elsewhere (e.g. United

States & Trinidad and Tobago).3 The figures for other countries were taken from the customs database and could be overstated due to misclassification of country

codes.

Population Census

Population Estimates

- 94 -

Population and Vital Statistics

A Population and Housing Census is conducted every ten years providing a wealth of data for small geographic areas; variables such as occupation and country of birth; and households. Census means total count. Hence, in a population census everyone is counted.

In between censuses, population estimates normally by age-sex and status (Caymanians/ Non Caymanians) are prepared to give an indication of changes since the last population census.

The most commonly used population census measure is the 'usually resident population count'. This is a count of all people who usually live in the country. This count excludes visitors from overseas and excludes residents who are overseas for a longer period. Residents temporarily away are included. The time limit for temporarily away is usually six months. The last population census in the Cayman Islands was conducted in October 1999 and the next is planned for October 2010.

The 'census night population count' is a count of all people in the country on a given census night. This count includes visitors from overseas and excludes residents who are temporarily overseas on census night.

Provisional census counts are an early indication of the census population count. They are either based on the number of questionnaires collected and an estimate of the number of questionnaires uncollected, about one or two months after census night or a manual count of the household members.

Population estimates normally refers to the usually resident population. Population estimates are normally prepared bi- annually (mid-year and end year) to give an indication of population changes since the last population census. The estimates are updated for births, deaths and net migration (external) since the last estimate. If reliable net migration figures are not available population estimates may be done using a household sample survey e.g. a Labour Force Survey (LFS). It should be noted that results from sample surveys are always subject to some uncertainty because only a part of the total has been measured. This is called the sampling error. A third possibility is to do a head count between censuses. In the LFS population means the "resident population", that is persons staying or intending to stay in the Cayman Islands at for least six months.

Notes:1 Residents only, visitors from overseas are excluded.2 Annual average growth is calculated using the formula for geometric growth

The population is thought to have been undercounted in the 1970 census, resulting in an inflated estimate of growth from 1970 to 1979 and a reduced estimatefor growth from 1960 to 1970.

Notes:1 Residents only, visitors from overseas are excluded.* End of year estimate includes Grand Cayman (Post Ivan) and Cayman Brac estimate. The drop in

population level is related to the temporary relocation of residents abroad in the aftermath of hurricane Ivan.** The sharp increase in population is related to the return of residents who left after Ivan, and the increase in

the labour force needed for the reconstruction of the country. The number of Caymanians was probably over estimated and the number of Non-Caymanians was probably under estimated in 2005.

*** During 2002 to 2004 a large number of persons were granted Caymanian Status.

Since 1980, the population of the Cayman Islands has increased by an average compound annual growth rate of over 4%. The rapid growth of the population since 1980 is mainly due to an influx of non- Caymanians.

Notes:1 Residents only, including those with work permits.2 Resident births and deaths outside of the Islands are excluded from these figures.3 Crude birth and death rates are expressed as per thousand of the mid-year population.4 From 1997, figures on deaths include all three Islands

Of the 793 newborn in 2008, 419 were male and 377 female. Hence, the sex ratio at birth in 2008was 110. Sex ratio is the number of males per 100 females. The sex ratio at birth in 2007 was 103.The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is about 8 per thousand in the Cayman Islands. The Total FertilityRate (TFR) is estimated to about 1.6.

Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in the average price level of consumer goods andservices purchased by households.

The CPI is one of the most important statistical indicators produced by the Economics and Statistics Office (ESO) much requested by government and private users. Quarterly price surveys are carriedout by ESO. Prices are collected every March, June, September and December for a "basket" of 661items.

The CPI is an index that simplifies the measurement of movements for consumer prices relative to a reference period. The index for the CPI reference or base period (September 1994 for the Cayman Island’s current CPI) is set to 100 and changes in prices are measured in relation to this figure.

ESO is at present updating the CPI basket. The 2008 CPI basket will replace the current CPI basket which has been in use since September 1994. The current CPI basket was constructed from the 1991 Household Income and Expenditure Survey, whereas the 2008 basket is based on the expendituredata from the 2007 Survey of Living Conditions/Household Budget Survey (SLC/HBS). More information on the 2008 CPI basket is found in the report “The Cayman Island’s 2008 Consumer Price IndexBasket” which is available on the ESO website, www.eso.ky.

System of National Accounts

The System of National Accounts (SNA) is a comprehensive and systematic record of the value of alleconomic activities in a country. The SNA is widely used across countries in the world and is the standard tool for comparing economic performance across countries and across sectors within acountry.

ESO is currently developing the SNA for the Cayman Islands and the first results are planned to be published later this year.

An important indicator of economic activity generated from SNA is the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).GDP is the total sum of all the productive activity of businesses, government and non-profitorganizations taking place within the domestic economy during a given period e.g. quarterly or annually. It is thus a direct measurement of the size of the economy.

More information on SNA is found in the brochure “Cayman Islands’ System of National Accounts"which is available on the ESO website, www.eso.ky.

Electricity

The Cayman Islands remains heavily reliant on imported oil for its energy demands, gettingapproximately 99 percent of its energy from this source.

Private companies own and operate the two electricity plants. Both Caribbean Utilities Co. Ltd(CUC) in Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac Power & Light Co. Ltd use primarily diesel generatingunits.

Approximately 99 percent of the households in the Cayman Islands used electricity as the maintype of lighting (please see Table 16.02.a). A significant proportion (94%) of the households useelectricity from public service providers and about 5 percent use electricity from privategenerators. Electricity from renewable energy sources seemed almost non existent according to the Survey of Living Conditions (SLC).

Home Gas Ltd is the sole LPG1 or propane provider. Propane is mainly used for cooking (pleasesee Table 16.02.b).

WaterFor water the traditional sources of supply have been private wells and/or catchment in cisterns,but these have been supplanted by piped water supply for most households.

As shown in Table 16.04, approximately 84 percent of the households had mains (city water ordesalinated) as their main source of water supply. Cisterns, rain or water trucks was the main water source for 7.2 percent of the households, while 7.6 percent of households used "wells" astheir main source of water.

According to the National Assessment of Living Conditions (NALC) the frequency of water supplydoes not appear to be a problem in the Cayman Islands except for Cayman Brac/Little Cayman.2

Sewerage

As of 2007, the disposal of sewerage appears not to be a problem in the Cayman Islands as 72percent of the households had a septic tank or cesspool. while 13.1 percent of the householdshad mains as their type of sewerage system (please see Table 16.08).
