Foreword

This report covers the detailed results of 2001 Namibia Population and Housing Census for

the Karas Region. 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 current report provides regional detailed basic highlights from the Census. These

highlights were derived from detailed tabulations and analysis, which was 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 information relates to all persons who were in Karas 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 Karas, but were present during the

Census Reference Night, are included in this report. Information on the population, which

usually resides in the various regions will be 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 Karas was 69 329. Out of these, 32 346 were females while

36 976 were males. This gives a sex ratio of about 114 males per 100 females. 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 Karas, 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. The figure below provides a breakdown of the population by these groups. The

population in private households constitute about 92 percent of the total enumerated population.

Population in institutions is about five percent of the total population.

The size of the private households is relatively large, where one out of four households are made up of

more than 6 members. However, the population in these households constitutes half (50%) of the

household population in the region. While one-person households make up 18 percent of all

households, they constitute only 4% of the household population.

1.2 Population Distribution

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. About 54 percent of

the total population was enumerated in the urban parts of the region.

There are 6 constituencies in the region. Karasburg, Keetmanshoop Urban and Luderitz constituencies

each have about 22 percent of the enumerated population, making them the most populous

constituencies in the region. The proportion of the population in the Keetmanshoop Rural

constituency was just over 9% of the enumerated 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

3 out of 10 persons in Karas are aged below 15 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 working age population, i.e. those aged 15 – 59 years,

makes up more than 60 percent of the whole population in the region. This can clearly be observed

in the population pyramid, which is bulky in the middle ages. The proportion of the population aged

60 years and above, i.e. the senior citizens, is only 6 percent, a relatively low percentage.

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. Figures 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 present the population pyramids for the respective areas by five-year

age groups. Except for the proportion of senior citizens, there are hardly any differences on the age

structure between urban and rural areas. This can clearly be seen from the respective population

pyramids. They are both bulky in the middle, an indication of a high proportion of the working age

population.

2.3 Age Structure: Constituency Level

The age distribution of the population by broad age groups for the six constituencies is shown in Table

2.1.1. Luderitz and Oranjemund constituencies have a relatively high proportion of the working age

population and a relatively low proportion of the senior citizens. On the other hand, there is a

relatively high proportion (12%) of the senior citizens in Berseba constituency. This also happens to

be the only constituency where the working age population is under 50 percent. The age structure for

the rest of the constituencies is relatively close to that of the region. It is worth noting that

Oranjemund constituency has a relatively low proportion of the under fives (6%).

2.4 Sex composition

For every 100 females in Karas there are 114 Males

Table 2.4.1 shows the sex ratio as well as the sex composition (percent) of the population by area.

Males make up 53 percent of the whole population in the region. The sex ratio, which is the number

of males per 100 females, is 114. Figure 2.4.1 shows the sex ratio by age for the regional population.

The number of females and males is almost equal for the age groups below 20 years. For the age

groups 20 – 59, there are relatively more males than females. After age 40, the sex ratio declines,

implying that there are relatively more females than males in the higher age groups. Except for the

Keetmsnhoop Urban constituency, the sex composition of the population in the other constituencies

follows the same pattern as the regional one. With regard to Keetmanshoop Urban, there were 92

males for every 100 females. Interestingly, Oranjemund has the highest sex ratio of 180 males for

every 100 fenales.

2.5 Marital status

29% of all persons aged 15+ years in Karas are married with certificate

The Census asked all persons their current marital status. Table 2.5.1 below presents the distribution

of the regional population aged 15 years and above by type of marital status. For the region as a

whole, almost 3 out of 10 persons aged 15 years and above are married with certificate. It can be

observed that 53 percent of the females and 58 percent of the males had never been married at the

time of the Census. It can further be noted that the number of the widowed females is three times

more than that of the widowed males.

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 presents the distribution of the population by place of birth. It can be seen that close to 3

out of 5 of all persons who were enumerated in the region were born in the region. About 1 out of 5

persons were born in the northern regions. Six percent of those enumerated were born outside the

country.

Chapter 3 Disability

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 Karas Region was

close to 3 percent. There are no significant differences between females and males. The proportion of

disabled persons is slightly lower in urban than in rural areas. In the former it is 2 percent as against 3

percent in the latter. At constituency level, there are no significant differences. The proportion of

disabled persons ranges from about 2 percent in Luderitz and Keetmanshoop Urban to 4 percent in

Keetmanshoop Rural and Berseba.

It can be observed in Table 3.2 that blindness is the most common type of disability in Karas. It affects

29 percent of the disabled population. Impairment of legs accounts for 27 percent of all disabilities.

4 Early Childhood Development

The questions on existence of Early Childhood Development (ECD) programmes asked in the Census

are explained in detail 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 about 5 800 children aged 3 – 6 years of whom 49.8 percent are females and 50.2

percent are males. Table 4.1 below reflects that about 35 percent of the female children and close to

34 percent of the male children were attending an Early Childhood Development Programme.

Significant differences in urban and rural areas can be observed. Relatively higher proportions of

children are attending 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 (22 %) in Keetmanshoop Rural and 27 percent respectively in Berseba and

Karasburg constituencies are attending such programme. The rest of the constituencies have relatively

higher proportions with Oranjemund having 62 percent of the children involved in ECD programmes.

It can be observed in Table 4.2 that out of the 2 000 children aged 3 – 6 years attending any type of

early childhood development programme, 72 percent are attending Crèche or Kindergarten, 21 percent

are attending Pre-primary, while only 7 percent are attending Day care Centre/Nursery school. Higher

proportions of children are attending pre-primary school in urban than in rural areas. There are no

significant differences in the numbers of females and males children who are attending any particular

early childhood development programmes.

Chapter 5 Education and Literacy

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 in the region.

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?”

5.3 Literacy

About 9 out of 10 persons aged 15+ years are literate

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 about 53 800

literate persons. It is more relevant to use 15 years as the lower age limit, which gives just over 43 000

literate people. 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, except in Karasburg where an

equal proportion is observed. A significant proportion (10%) of females in rural areas lack the ability

to write and read. Urban females have by far the highest literacy rate of 97 percent. At constituency

level, the literacy rate ranges from 84 percent in Berseba to 97 percent in Luderitz. Males in Berseba

constituency have the lowest literacy rate of 83 percent in the region.

Chapter 6 Labour Force

6 Labour Force

The questions on economic activity that were asked in the Census are given in Appendix 1 together

with their 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 74 percent of the population aged 15 years and above belongs to the

economically active group, which forms the labour force, while 24 percent is outside the labour force.

The labour force is made up of the employed (72%) and the unemployed (28%). In the economically

inactive population group, students make up 28 percent, while homemakers constitute about 40

percent.

6.1 Labour force participation rate

Table 6.1.1 shows that the labour force participation rate for the region is almost 74 percent. The rate

is higher for males (83%) than for females (63%). For urban and rural areas, there are hardly any

differences. However, there are significant differences between females and males within both areas.

For urban areas the rates for females and males are 69 percent and 83 percent respectively. The

corresponding rates for rural areas are 55 percent and 83 percent respectively. At constituency level,

the rates for both females and males range from 52 percent in Berseba to 86 percent in Oranjemund.

The table also shows significant differences between females and males within each of the

constituencies.

About 74 percent of the population aged 15 years and above belongs to the labour force in the region.

Table 6.2.1 shows that 72 percent of the population in the labour force is employed, while 28 percent

is unemployed. The proportion of employed males is relatively higher than that of employed females.

At the same time, the number of employed males is almost double that of females. 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 employment in this region is heavily male dominated in almost all categories

of employment status. Close to 61 percent employed persons are employed in the private sector of

whom about two thirds are males. The government employs about 27 percent of all employed persons,

and again close to two thirds of them are males. Individual employers account for about 3 percent of

all employed persons. An individual employer operates an own business with paid employees. Only

about 2 percent of all employed persons are subsistence farmers with paid employees.

The Labour Force Participation

Rate is the proportion of the

economically active population in

a given population group, i.e. the

number of economically active

persons divided by the total

population in the same population

group.

6.7 Unemployment rate

The unemployment rate in Karas is 28 percent

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.

Table 6.7.1 shows that about 6 percent of the unemployed persons had never attended school, while

slightly more than half of them had attained primary level of education. About one out of five

unemployed persons had not completed their primary education. Slightly more than one out of ten

unemployed persons had attained secondary level of education. The proportion of unemployed persons

with tertiary level of education is about 1 percent.

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 higher for

females than that for males in all

age groups.

Almost 21 percent of all

unemployed have previously

worked. To a larger extent,

younger people are first time job

seekers than older people.

The sex pattern of unemployment

in urban and rural areas follows

the regional one. The

unemployment rate for females is

higher than that for males in all

areas. Females in Berseba

constituency have the highest

unemployment rate of 54 percent.

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 persons in the

labour force in the same sex/age population group.

Chapter 7 Household Composition and Characteristics

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 Karas Region is composed of around 4 members. In

general, the household size in urban and rural areas as well as in the constituencies of Karas is almost

identical, having about 4 members per household. The breakdown of household size in Karas, 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 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 Karas Region. Own children, i.e. daughters and sons

account for 28 percent of all household members. Other relatives to the head/spouse make up 20

percent, while grandchildren account for 9 percent.

Tables 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 present the respective urban and rural household populations by relationship to

the head/spouse. In both urban and rural areas, children of the head/spouse are still the predominant

group with 30 and 25 percent respectively. The proportion of other relatives to the head/spouse is

relatively higher in urban (20%) than in the rural areas (19%). The opposite is the case for

grandchildren with only 8 percent in urban as compared to 11 percent 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 (35%). The proportion of male-headed households is relatively higher in rural

(70%) than in urban (60%) areas. At constituency level, the male-headed households are relatively

more than female-headed households in all constituencies. Oranjemund constituency has the highest

proportion (82%) of male headed households

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 81 percent of all households in the

region. The computer is the least accessible, with 14 percent of the households having an access to it.

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 72

percent of the households in urban areas as compared to only 26 percent in the rural areas. The

telephone is accessible to 73 percent as against 58 percent in urban and rural areas respectively.

At constituency level, except the radio, Berseba and Keetmanshoop Rural 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 language usually spoken or most spoken at home. In the Karas

Region several languages were identified. Table 7.4.1 provides the distribution of households by main

language spoken. Afrikaans language is the most spoken language in households in the Region, with

40 percent of the households communicating in this language, followed by Nama/Damara and

Oshiwambo with 26 and 23 percent 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 69 percent of the

households having reported so. Farming as a main source of income was reported by 7 percent of the

households. Pension was reported as a main source of income for about 10 percent of the households

in the region. Significant differences exist between urban and rural areas. Whereas about 77 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 59.

At constituency level, it is interesting to note that more households in all the constituencies reported

wages and salaries as their main source of income. The constituencies of Oranjemund and Luderitz

with highest percent of 90 and 80 respectively. In Berseba about 29 percent of households reported

Farming as their main source of income. With regard to farming, less than 1 percent and 15 percent of

the households in urban and rural areas respectively reported this as their main source of income.

8 Housing Conditions

The Census asked all households questions on housing characteristics. These included type of housing

units, tenure, materials used for constructions, 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). These types of housing units are defined in

Appendix 1.

Table 8.1.1 shows that detached/semidetached houses are predominant as they are occupied by almost

two thirds of all households in the region. It is worth noting that improvised housing units (shacks)

constitute close to 14 percent of all housing units.

Disparities exist between urban and rural areas, where the detached/semi-detached dwellings

predominate. Improvised housing units (shacks) are occupied by 18 percent of the households in

urban areas as against 8 percent in rural ones. About 16 percent of the households in rural areas

occupy traditional dwellings as compared to less than 1 percent in urban areas.

At constituency level, detached/semi-detached houses still predominate in all areas, ranging from 46

percent in Luderitz to 82 percent in Keetmanshoop Rural. Traditional dwellings are most common

(27%) in the Karasburg constituency while improvised housing unit are also quite common (33%) in

Luderitz.

8.2 Type of tenure

Information on tenure is presented in Table 8.2.1. A large proportion of the households (42%) in the

region own their dwellings without any mortgage. Close to a quarter of the households reside in

dwellings provided by their employers. There are distinct differences between urban and rural areas.

One third as against more than half of the households in urban and rural areas respectively own their

dwellings without mortgage. More than one out of five households in urban areas reside in owner

occupied dwellings with mortgage as compared to less than one out of ten households in the rural

areas. Dwellings, which are rented and not tied to the job, are occupied by one out of five households

in urban areas as against only one out of twenty in rural areas. Close to one out of three as against one

out of five households in urban and rural areas respectively reside in dwellings provided by the

employer.


37

There are distinct differences relating to tenure at constituency level. Owner-occupied dwellings

without mortgage predominate at the constituency of Berseba (62%), Karasburg (58%),

Keetmanshoop urban (35%) and Luderitz (37%). Dwellings provided by employer predominate in

Keetmanshoop Rural (47%) and Oranjemund (71%). There are also high proportions of households

residing in both rented dwellings not tied to the job and owner-occupied dwellings with mortgage in

the constituencies of Keetmanshoop Urban and Luderitz.

Households were asked to give information on the number of rooms used for sleeping in their housing

units. Such rooms include all the rooms used for sleeping purposes and exclude places such as

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 material used for construction of roofs, walls and floors is 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 is the corrugated iron sheet. Almost three quarters of all households reside in dwellings with

such material. This proportion is even higher in rural (81%) than in urban (68%) areas. Households

that live in dwellings, whose roofing material is asbestos sheets, constitute 17 percent of all

households in the region. Again this proportion is high in urban (28%) than in rural (3%) areas.

At constituency level, dwellings with roofs made from corrugated iron sheets pre-dominate in all

constituencies except Oranjemund. The proportion of households residing in dwellings with such roofs

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. There is no significant difference between

rural and urban areas. Oranjemund has the lowest

number of person per room, while all other

constituencies have the same number of person per

room.


38

range from 93 percent in Keetmanshoop Urban to 57 percent in Luderitz. Roofs made from asbestos

sheets are most common in Oranjemund with 65 percent of the households living in them. A

significant proportion (38%) of the households in Luderitz reside in dwellings made from similar

roofs.

With respect to floor construction, cement is the most common material used. Table 8.4.2 shows that

slightly over seven out of ten households in the region occupy dwellings with this type of floor. The

proportion is higher in urban (80%) than in rural (63%) areas. Almost one out of five households in

the region occupy dwellings with sand floors. This proportion is higher in rural (31%) than in urban

(10%) areas.

With regard to constituencies, dwellings with cement floors predominate in all of them. The

proportion of households residing in such dwellings range from 85 percent in Keetmanshop Urban to

54 percent in Oranjemund. Significant proportions of households in Berseba (22%) and Karasburg

(39%) reside in dwellings with sand floors. It is worth noting that 38 percent of the households in

Oranjemund reside in dwellings with floors made from materials other than sand, cement or clay/mud.

With regard to materials used for the construction of walls, cement blocks/bricks predominate in the

region. Slightly over 3 out of 5 of the households live in dwellings with walls made out of such

material. Slightly over a quarter of the households reside in dwellings made from corrugated iron

sheets. There are distinct differences between urban and rural areas. More than seven out of ten as

compared to less than half of the households in urban and rural areas respectively reside in dwellings

whose walls are made from cement blocks/bricks. Walls made from corrugated iron sheets are fairly


39

common in both urban (25%) and rural (30%) areas. It is worth noting that 13 percent of the

households in rural areas live in dwellings whose walls are constructed from wooden poles, sticks and

grass.

At constituency level, walls made from cement blocks/bricks dominate in all constituencies except

Berseba. The proportion of the households residing in such dwellings range from 47 percent n

Karasburg to 82 percent in Keetmanshoop Rural. In Berseba 51 percent of the households reside in

dwellings whose walls are made from corrugated iron sheets. A significant proportion (40%) in

Luderitz lives in similar dwellings. It should be observed that 23 percent of the households in

Karasburg occupy dwellings whose walls are constructed from wooden poles, stinks and grass.

8.5 Source of energy used for cooking, lighting and heating

Table’s 8.5.1 to 8.5.3 present the percent distribution of households by sources of energy for cooking,

lighting and heating. As indicated in Table 8.5.1, a significant proportion of the households (35%) in

the region rely on wood and charcoal from wood for cooking. Another 31 percent utilize gas for

cooking. Only 27 percent of the households make use of electricity for this purpose. Two thirds as

against less than one tenth of the households in rural and urban areas respectively make use of

wood/charcoal from wood for cooking purposes. About 36 percent as against 15 percent of the

households in urban and rural areas respectively use electricity for cooking. Gas is utilized for cooking

by 45 percent and about 14 percent of the households respectively in urban and rural areas.

At constituency level, wood/charcoal from wood is used extensively in the constituencies of Berseba

(81%), Karasburg (59%) and Keetmanshoop Rural (64%). In the Keetmanshoop Urban constituency

the main sources of energy used for cooking are electricity (51%) and gas (32%). In the case of

Luderitz, the main sources of energy for cooking are gas (42%), electricity (32%) and paraffin (20%).

In the case of Oranjemund, the main sources of energy for cooking are gas (73%) and electricity

(21%).

With regard to lighting, it can be observed from Table 8.5.2 that half of the households in the region

use electricity for this purpose, while another three tenth of them utilize candle. There are distinct

differences between urban and rural areas. Electricity is used by two thirds of the households as

compared to almost one third in rural areas. Candle light is more common in rural areas (41%) as

compared to urban areas (23%). A significant proportion (24%) of the rural households use paraffin

for lighting as compared to only 10 percent in urban areas.

There are significant differences in source of energy for lighting at constituency level. Keetmanshoop

Urban (78%) and Oranjemund (83%) and to some extent Luderitz (48%)and Keetmanshoop rural

(40%) rely heavily on electricity for this purpose. More than half of the households in Karasburg make

use of candle light. In the case of Berseba constituency the main sources of energy for lighting are

paraffin (47%), electricity and candle light (22%).


40

Table 8.5.3 shows that a significant proportion (45%) of the households in the region do not heat their

homes. Where heating takes place, mainly wood/charcoal from wood (25%) as well as electricity

(25%) are used for this purpose. There are significant differences between urban and rural areas. More

than half of the households in the former, as compared to 37 percent in the latter, do not heat their

homes. Close to 36 percent of the households in urban areas make use of electricity for heating, while

close to 46 percent of the households in rural areas make use of wood/charcoal from wood for the

same purpose.

Constituencies which are predominantly rural follow the rural pattern when it comes to source of

energy for heating purposes, while predominantly urban constituencies follow the urban pattern. The

only notable exception is Oranjemund where only a quarter of the households do not heat their homes

and two thirds of the households use electricity for heating purposes.

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

94 percent of all households in Karas have access to safe

water

For public health purposes, water from pipes and boreholes, except those with open tanks, is regarded

as safe for drinking and cooking.

The percent distribution of households with safe water for drinking and cooking by area is shown in

Figure 9.1.1 while Table 9.1.1 shows the percent distribution of households by the main source of

water for drinking and cooking as well as by area. It can be seen from the figure as well from the table

that more than 9 out of10 households in the region have access to safe drinking and cooking water.

Close to 4 percent of the households have no access to such water. The main source of safe water for

most of the households (77%) is from piped water within the compound. The same pattern applies for

urban as well as for rural areas with the former having a higher proportion with regard to safe water.

The same urban-rural pattern can be observed at constituency level where the predominantly urban

constituencies follow the urban pattern and those predominantly rural follow the rural one.

About 91 percent of the households in the region have a relatively close accessibility to the water

source 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. Less than 1percent of

households in the region have to cover more than one kilometre to get their water. Slightly higher

proportions of households in the rural areas cover longer distances than those in urban ones. For

example, more than 1 percent of them cover more than 1 kilometre as against an insignificant

proportion in the urban areas.

The same urban-rural pattern can be observed at constituency level where the predominantly urban

constituencies follow the urban pattern and those predominantly rural follow the rural one.

9.2 Type of toilet facility

Slightly more than 1 out of 4 households in Karas have no toilet facility

Table 9.2.1 presents the percent distribution of households by type of toilet facility. About 58 percent

of the households in the region use flush toilet while another 26 percent have no toilet facility at all. It

is worth noting that about 7 percent of the households make use of the bucket/pail. There are notable

differences between urban and rural areas. Over 80 percent of the households in the urban areas use

flush toilet while the corresponding rural percentage is 31. Over 47 percent of the rural households

use the bush as against 8 percent in the urban areas.

At constituency level, the same urban-rural pattern can be observed. The predominantly urban

constituencies follow the urban pattern while those which are predominantly rural follow the rural

pattern.

9.3 Garbage and refuse disposal

Table 9.3.1 shows the percent distribution of households by means of disposing garbage/refuse. The

most common means of disposing garbage in Karas region is the regular collection with 57 percent of

the households having this service. This is more predominant in the urban areas (85%) than in the

rural ones (25%). The rubbish pit is fairly common in the rural areas with 27 percent of the households

utilising it. Incineration (17%) and roadside dumping (19%) are also a common feature in the rural

areas.

The urban-rural pattern can be observed at constituency level whereby the urban constituencies follow

the urban pattern while the rural ones follow the rural pattern with incineration, roadside dumping and

rubbish pit being the most common ones. It is notable to state that 95 percent of the households in

Oranjemund constituency have their garbage collected regularly.

Chapter 10 Fertility

10 Fertility

Generally, indicators of the levels of fertility are based on data from either civil registration or reported

births and 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

births is deficient. Likewise, reported information on births and deaths from surveys and Censuses is

usually under-reported and hence, does not provide a good basis for estimating the levels of fertility

and mortality.

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 Karas have around 3 children

The total fertility rates for Karas 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 three children as well , while those in rural

areas gave birth to almost four children. Except for Keetmanshoop Rural, the total fertility rate for the

rest of the constituencies was around 3 children per woman. That for Keetmanshoop Rural was over 4

children per woman.

10.2 Fertility Pattern

Teen-age females contribute 10% to the total fertility in Karas

The pattern of fertility for women in child-bearing ages in Karas Region is shown in Table 10.2.1.

Motherhood starts at a fairly early age in the region, and child bearing is less significant in the late

ages. Teen-age females contribute 10 percent to the total fertility, while women aged 40 years and

above account for 7 percent. Child-bearing for women is highly concentrated in the 20–34 year age

group which contributes over 70 percent to the total fertility.

Chapter 11 Mortality and Orphanhood

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 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. Most of these methods are based on the

assumption that the deaths are under-reported and therefore need to be adjusted.

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

Karas Region. It can be observed that the number of deaths has been doubled since 1999.

Table 11.1.1 Number of reported deaths, 1998 –

1999 221 260 481

2000 323 307 630

2001 455 485 939

Note* The deaths reported for 2001 were only for the

first 8 months. Adjustments were made to

cover all the 12 months.

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. The percent increase ranges from 45 to 190

in Berseba and Luderitz 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, it is noticeable that one out of ten

households have experienced at least one death within the three years before the Census. Nearly two

out of ten households in Berseba have lost a family member within the last three years.

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 rate for Karas Region is 38

and 57 per 1000 live births, respectively for females and males.

Infant mortality is lower for urban than for rural areas. With regard to constituencies, Keetmanshoop

Rural has the highest infant mortality rate for both females and males with 68 infant deaths per 1 000

female live births and 97 infant deaths per 1 000 male live births. Luderitz and Oranjemund

constituencies experience the lowest infant mortality for both females and males.


50

Child mortality follows the same pattern as that of infant mortality. Like in the infant and child the

rates of under-five mortality for males are worse off than those for females. Keetmanshoop Rural

constituency takes the lead in each of the three mortality patterns.

The life expectancy at birth in the region is 61 and 54 years respectively for females and males. There

is no significant difference between urban and rural areas when it comes to life expectancy in Karas

Region. Oranjemund have the highest life expectancy at birth of over 70 years. Overall, again

Keetmanshoop Rural experience the lowest life expectancy at birth of just over 50 years.

11.2 Orphanhood

Information on orphanhood, particularly for children, provides an indirect indicator for 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. Close to 16 percent of

the households in Karas 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 two percent. This implies

that in 1 out of every 50 households there is a child without both mother and father, 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, except for Oranjemund whose proportions

are very low.

The number of orphaned children aged below 15 years is presented in Table 11.2.2. For the region as

a whole, about 9 percent of all children under this age have lost one parent. This is close to one out of

ten children under 15 years of age living with only one parent. The proportion of orphans under the


51

same age without both parents is only one percent. This implies that only one out of every one

hundred children under the age of 15 have no parents. There are hardly any differences between urban

and rural areas, nor between constituencies, except for Oranjemund again whose rates are relatively

low.

Appendix 1: Census Definitions of Concepts and Classifications

In this appendix the concepts and classifications used in the 2001 Population and Housing Census are

defined. These concepts and classifications were based on regional and international recommendations

with adaptations to suit local conditions.

Geographic and Migration Concepts

The Karas Region consisted of six Constituencies, namely Berseba, Karasburg, Keetmanshoop Rural,

Keetmanshoop Urban, Luderitz and Oranjemund.

Locality/village For the purpose of this Census a locality/village was defined as a district population

cluster, irrespective of size, in which people lived and which had a name or locally

recognized status.

Urban locality Urban localities referred to the municipalities and townships, which at the Census time

had been so proclaimed by the Government.

Rural locality All other localities not included in the urban classification were regarded as rural.

These included localities proclaimed as villages and other settlements.

Place of birth The usual place of residence of respondent’s mother at the time of respondent’s birth.

Place of usual

residence

The town or village where a person usually lived, i.e. where a person had lived for the

past 6 months, or intended to live for the next 6 months.

Demographic and Social Concepts

Household A person or group of persons, related or unrelated, living together in the same house and

having the same catering arrangements.

Head of

household

The person of either sex who was looked upon by the other members of the household as

their leader or main decision-maker.

amputation, paralysis or other sickness. Persons who were using clutches, wheelchairs,

artificial limbs and other walking or grasping aids were also classified under this

category.

Mentally disabled: persons who were mentally retarded and those who were mentally sick

were classified under this category.

Appendix 1

54

Marital

status

The question on marital status was asked to all persons. It was defined as the personal status

of persons in relation to the marriage laws or customs of the country.

The definitions used for the various categories of marital status were as follows:

(i) Never married: persons who had never married before in their lifetime.

Married legally or customarily: persons who during the reference period were married under

legal systems of the country or the customs of the local area.

Married consensually: persons of the opposite sex living together as husband and wife

Nursery

School

These are the ones that cater for very young children, even less than one year olds to

4 year olds. These centres are mainly found in urban areas and are privately owned.

The children learn social skills and are also prepared for primary school. They are

mainly utilized by working parents with young children.

Pre-primary These are mainly found in urban areas and serve as preparatory courses before entry

into grade one in primary school education cycle. Pre-primary cater for children of 5

to 6 years old.

Number of

Rooms

The number of rooms included all rooms used for sleeping by a household. If a

garage was used as a sleeping room it was also counted. Kitchens, bathrooms, toilets,

stoeps and verandas were excluded.

In addition some household members used traditional or other outhouses as sleeping

quarters. In this case the number of sleeping rooms were included in the number of

rooms in the main building plus rooms for sleeping in other units.

Material used

for outer walls

The information required was the main material used for constructing the outer walls

i.e. the main frame of the building.


(i) Cement blocks/bricks: This category refers to buildings with cement blocks or

bricks as the main material used.

Material used

for the roof

In the context of the Census roof refers to the upper covering of the house. If a

household is occupying the ground floor of a 2-storeyed house and concrete slabs are

used for separating the ground floor from the 1st floor and the top of the building i.e.

the upper floor is covered with corrugated iron sheets then the material for the roof

for all the housing units in the building will be corrugated iron sheets.

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.

(iii) Public pipe: Water drawn from pipes installed in a locality to serve the whole

locality and originating from a central source- river, pond, lake or borehole.

(iv) Borehole: Same as wells, but deeper and has a pump for drawing water.

(v) Borehole with open tank: This is a borehole where the water drawn is pumped

into an open tank right next to it.

(vi) Borehole with tank covered: This is a borehole where the water drawn is

pumped into a tank which is covered right next to it.

(vii) River/stream/cam: A river or naturally flowing source of water or reservoir

formed by man by building a barrier across a river to hold back water.

(viii) Canal: Man-made open flowing water source.

(ix) Well, protected: A man-made hole/shaft dug in the ground from which water

is obtained. Water is drawn using buckets. A protected well has a fence and/or

a cover.

(x) Well, unprotected: A man-made hole/shaft dug in the ground from which

water is obtained. Water is drawn using buckets. An unprotected well does

not have a fence around it.

household, since these aspects are very important for the elimination of

poverty and hunger and the improvement of the living standard of the people.

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).

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.
