Foreword

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

Oshikoto 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 Oshikoto 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 Oshikoto, 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 Oshikoto region was 161 007. Out of these, 84 620 were females

while 76 387 were males. This gives a sex ratio of close to 90 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 Oshikoto, 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 around 98 percent of the total enumerated population.

Population in institutions is only one percent of the total population. Around 70 percent of the

population is found in households with a size of 6 or more persons.

Figure 1.2 presents the distribution of households by size. About 10 percent of the households are

made up of one person, while the population in these households makes up less than 4 percent of the

total household population in the region. Around 45 percent of the households have 6 or more persons;

but their population, as noted above is 70 percent of the total household population in the region.

1.2 Population Distribution

The enumerated population distribution by urban and rural areas as well as by constituencies is shown

in Table 1.2.1 below. It should be noted that urban areas are so proclaimed by the Government.

About 146 078 (97%) persons of the total population were enumerated in the rural parts of the region.

The urban population is only 9 percent of the total population

There are 10 constituencies in the region. Oniipa constituency is the most populous with about 24 700

persons, followed by Omuthiyagwiipundi. Guinas is the least populous with about 9 000 persons.

Except for the constituencies of Eengodi, Guinas and Tsumeb, the rest of the constituencies have

relatively more females than males.

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

At least 4 out of 10 persons in Oshikoto region 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 population of Oshikoto region is relatively young as 43

percent of the whole population is under 15 years of age. This is more pronounced in the population

pyramid, which has a very broad base and a very narrow apex. The proportion of the population aged

60 years and above, i.e. the senior citizens, is about 8 percent. Nearly half of the population belongs

to the economically active age groups of 15 to 59 years.

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. There are a significant differences on the age structure between urban and rural areas.

The proportion of the young population, i.e. under 15 years of age, is 32 and 45 percent respectively

for urban and rural areas. In the case of the population aged 60 years and above, the corresponding

percentages for the two areas are respectively 5 and 8. The rural areas have more young people as

well as senior citizens. On the other hand, the urban areas have relatively more people in the

economically active age groups of 15 – 59 years. This phenomenon can be observed in the pyramids

for the two areas. Unlike the case for urban areas, the pyramid for the rural areas has a relatively

broader base and an apex which is not as narrow as that of the urban pyramid. This is a demonstration

of the relatively higher proportions of both the young and the old populations in the rural areas.

2.3 Age Structure: Constituency Level

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

2.1.1. All the constituencies reflect age structures that are basically similar. They all have a fairly

young population – more than 30 percent– and an old age population of around 5 percent in Tsumeb to

11 percent in Onayena constituency. At a closer look, it is noticeable that age structures in Tsumeb

has the same features as that of urban areas. Meanwhile, the age structures in the rest of the

constituencies resemble that in the rural areas.

2.4 Sex Composition

For every 100 females in Oshikoto region there are 90 Males

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

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

of males per 100 females, is 90. 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 young population below the age of 10

years. For the age groups 10 – 24, there are significantly more males than females. After age 25, the

sex ratio declines, implying that there are significantly more females than males in the higher age

groups. For the Eengodi, Guinas and Tsumeb constituencies, the sex ratio is above 100 while in the

other constituencies it is less than 100. With regard to Eengodi, Guinas and Tsumeb there are more

males than females.

2.5 Marital status

23 percent of all persons aged 15 + in Oshikoto region 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. It can be observed that 54

percent of females and 65 percent of males had never been married at the time of the Census. Around

7 percent of all persons aged at least 15 years are in consensual unions, i.e. marriage without legal or

customary ceremony. It can be observed that there are relatively more females than males who were

widowed. About 7 percent of all females aged 15 years and above are widowed.

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 Oshikoto

region. It can be observed that 98 percent of the enumerated population were nationals of Namibia.

Angola make up about 37 percent of the non-Namibian nationals.

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 72 percent of the

enumerated population were born

in the region. The majority of

those who were not born in the

region were born in the

neighbouring regions of

Ohangwena (13%), Oshana (5%)

and Otjozondjupa (2%). Only

about 2 percent of the enumerated

population were born outside

Namibia.

Chapter 3 Disability

23

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 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 persons with disability by area and sex as well as by type of

disability. It can be seen from the first table that the proportion of the persons with disability in

Oshikoto Region was almost 6 percent. There are no major differences between females and males.

Nor are there any differences between urban and rural areas, where the proportion of the persons with

disability in each area is almost 6 percent. However, differences can be seen at constituency level.

The proportion of persons with disability ranges from about 4 to 6 percent respectively for Eengodi

and Olukonda constituencies.

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

region. It affects 29 percent of all the disabled population. Impairment of legs accounts for 24 percent

while deaf affects 24 percent of all the persons living with disability.

Chapter 4 Early Childhood Development

4 Early Childhood Development

The questions on the existence of Early Childhood Development (ECD) programmes, which were

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 Crèche/Kindergarten, Day Care

Centre/ Nursery School and Pre-Primary School for preparation to enter formal Primary education.

The Census counted about 19 300 children aged 3 – 6 years of whom 51 percent are females and 49

percent are males. Table 4.1 below indicates that 38 percent of the children in this age group were

attending an ECD programme. There are some differences between girls and boys where relatively

higher proportions of girls (41%) have attended an ECD programme as compare to (36%) of boys.

There are hardly any differences between urban and rural areas with regard to ECD programme

attendance. Differences in the proportion of children attending ECD programmes can be observed at

constituency level. These range from 21 to 51 percent respectively for Guinas and Olukonda

constituencies. Again, there are no notable differences between girls and boys in all the

constituencies.

Tsumeb 1 301 685 616 517 277 240 39.7 40.4 39.0

It can be observed in Table 4.2 that out of the 7 400 children aged 3 – 6 years attending any type of

early childhood development programme, 82 percent are attending crèche or kindergarten. There are

relatively small differences for the proportions of girls and boys who are attending such an ECD

programme. There are very few children (2%) who are attending a day care centre or a nursery

school. Another 16 percent of the children are attending pre-primary school.

There are hardly any differences in the proportions of children are attending these different

programmes in urban and rural areas. It should be noted that there are some slight differences between

girls and boys in terms of the numbers attending any of these 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.

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?”

those who had left school in

urban and rural areas. Relatively

more persons have never

attended school in rural than in

urban areas, while a higher

proportion has left school in

5.3 Educational Attainment

Table 5.3.1 shows that females outnumber males at all levels of educational attainment for all persons

aged 15 years and above and who had left school. About 43 percent of these persons did not complete

primary education. Another 38 percent had completed primary education. Close to 10 percent of them

had completed secondary education. An additional 3 percent had attained a tertiary level of education.

The figure shows school

enrolment rates in single years

for the population aged 6 – 24

years. About 90 percent of all

children aged 8 – 13 years

were attending school. The

highest enrolment rate is 94

percent for females aged 10 –

13 years. Enrolment rates for

males are slightly lower than

those for females at ages 6 –

18 years.

The figure shows that there are

no significant differences in

school enrolment rates at early

ages. Differences exist as from

age 17 years whereby the

enrolment rate is higher in rural

areas as compared to the urban

ones. The highest enrolment rate

is 94 percent at age 11 years in

urban areas.

5.4 Literacy

Census data on literacy 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. A provision was

given for literacy in two languages for each person.

The literacy question was put to all persons aged 6 years and above. It is more relevant to use 15 years

as the lower age limit for indicators of adult literacy, which gives about 76 100 literate people in

Oshikoto region. This leads to a literacy rate of 84 percent for all persons aged 15 years and above.

There are hardly any differences between female and males.

Table 5.4.1 shows that there is a slightly higher proportion of literate persons in urban than in rural

areas. However, there are no notable differences between the sexes within the respective areas.

At constituency level, the literacy rate ranges from 48 percent in Guianas to 95 percent in Olukonda.

Significant differences between females and males can be observed in the constituencies of Eengodi

and Guinas.

Chapter 6 Labour Force

6 Labour Force

The Census asked all persons aged 8 years and above about their activity during the seven days prior

to the Census night of 27 – 28 August 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, According

to this definition, people who had worked for at least one hour, but had another activity, as main

activity, for example as students or homemakers, were economically active. The questions on

economic activity that were asked in the Census are given in Appendix 1 together with their concepts

and definitions.

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 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, in Oshikoto region, about 40 percent of the population aged 15 years and above

belongs to the economically active group, which forms the labour force, while about 57 percent is

outside the labour force. The labour force is made up of the employed (55%) and the unemployed

(45%). In the economically inactive population group, students make up 34 percent, while

homemakers constitute 45 percent.

6.1 Labour force participation rate

Labour force participation rate is defined as the proportion of all persons who are economically active,

i.e. the proportion of those belonging to the labour force. Table 6.1.1 shows that the labour force

participation rate for the region is almost 40 percent. The rate is higher for males (45%) than for

females (35%). The participation rates are relatively higher for urban (71%) than for rural (36%)

areas. The rates for males are higher than those for females in both areas.


31

There are significant variations at constituency level. The rates range from 28 percent in Onayena to

71 percent in Tsumeb. These rates are relatively higher for males than for females in all the

constituencies.

6.2 Labour force

Table 6.2.1 shows that 55 percent of the population in the labour force is employed, while about 45

percent is unemployed. Employed males heavily outnumber the employed females. This leads to an

unemployment rate of 52 percent for females as against 38 percent for males. 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 males outnumber females in all the categories of employment status. Almost

42 percent of all employed persons are employees in the private sector, where the number of males is

almost double that of females. About 46 percent of all the males are employed in this sector. Close to

24 percent of all employed persons are employed in the public sector, with slightly more males than

females. There are relatively small numbers of employed persons in the rest of the sectors.

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.

6.4 Employed persons by occupation

It can be observed in Table 6.4.1 that the largest occupational group is elementary occupations, which

includes labourers and other unskilled occupations, and constitute close to 23 percent of all the

employed persons. About 3 out 5 persons in this group are males. This occupational group is

followed closely the service workers, shop and market sales workers who also make up 23 percent.

This group is heavily dominated by females. In fact, one third of all employed females belong to this

occupational group. The group of skilled agricultural and fishery workers make up 15 percent of all

employed persons, where the number of males is double that of females. Professionals together with

associate professionals make up another 14 percent of all employed persons. Females heavily

outnumber males in this occupational category. Craft and related trade workers constitute 12 percent

of all employed persons, and here, males heavily outnumber females. Clerks make up about 4 percent

of all employed persons and are heavily female dominated, with about 6 percent of all employed

females under this category.

6.7 Unemployment rate

The rate of unemployment in Oshikoto region is 45 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.

Unemployment Rate %

Female

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.

Figure 6.7.2 indicates that females in

all areas in the region have higher

unemployment rates than males. The

unemployment rate is highest for

females and males in Onayena,

followed by Onyaanya and and

Olukonda.

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 males in all age groups.

Almost 50 percent of all

unemployed have previously

worked. To a larger extent, younger

people are first time job seekers.


35

Table 6.7.1 shows that 12 percent of all unemployed persons had never attended school, while another

32 percent had incomplete primary education. Another 40 percent, with females heavily

outnumbering the males, had attained a primary level of education. Slightly over one out of ten

unemployed persons have attained secondary level of education. The proportion of unemployment

persons with tertiary level of education is 1 percent.

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 during the Census Reference Night was not counted in that household but in

the household/place 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 Oshikoto region is composed of 6 members. The

household size in urban areas was made up of around 4 members as against 6 members in rural areas.

At constituency level, the size ranges between 4 and 6 members. There are hardly any significant

differences in household size between the constituencies, except for Tsumeb where the average size is

only about 4 members. Detailed information on household size is presented in the Appendix 3.

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 Oshikoto Region. Own children, i.e.

daughters and sons, account for 33 percent of all household members. This implies that nuclear

families, i.e. head, spouse and own children, make up about 57 percent of all household members.

Other relatives to the head/spouse make up 15 percent, while grandchildren account for 22 percent.

This indicates that extended family members, that is, other relatives of head/spouse, constitute about

38 percent of all household members.

Tables 7.2.2 and 7.2.3 present the respective urban and rural household population composition by

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

predominant group with 29 and 32 percent respectively. There are slight differences in the proportions

of other relatives to the head/spouse in urban (19%) and rural areas (15%). The proportion of

grandchildren is higher in rural (23%) than in urban (9%) areas.

Table 7.2.4 shows the distribution of households by area and by the sex of the head of household. It is

interesting to note that, for the region, the proportion of female headed households is equal to that of


37

themale headed ones. The proportion of male-headed households is higher in urban (62%) than in rural

(48%) areas. Variations can be observed at constituency level. Except for Eengodi, Guinas, Okankolo

and Tsumeb, the proportion of the female headed households in the rest of the constituencies is above

50 percent.

7.3 Access to means of communication

The Census asked all households about accessibility to selected communication 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 by area. Figure 7.3.1 presents the regional situation

with regard to accessibility to these facilities. It can be observed that the radio is accessible to 79

percent of all households in the region. The computer is the least accessible, with only 2 percent.

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. For example,

the television is accessible to 61 percent of the households in urban areas as compared to only 12

percent in the rural ones. The telephone is accessible to 46 percent as against 13 percent in urban and

rural areas respectively.

At constituency level, Eengodi, Okankolo, Omuntele, and Omuthiyagwiipundi are the ones with least

accessibility to the facilities/services under consideration.

7.4 Main language spoken in the household

The Census included a question on the main language usually spoken or most spoken at home. In the

Oshikoto region, several languages were identified. Tables 7.4.1 indicates the distribution of

households by the main language spoken at home. Oshiwambo is the most spoken language in

households in the region, with about 87 percent of the households communicating in it. Nama/Damara

follows this language with about 5 percent of the households communicating in it.

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

farming is the leading main source of income in the region with about 56 percent of the households

having reported so. Wages and salaries, as the main source of income, was reported by 21 percent of

the households. Over 1 out of 10 households in the region relied on pension as their main source of

income.

Significant differences exist between urban and rural areas. Whereas about 67 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 14. The opposite is the case for farming whereby 64

percent of the rural households relied on it as against only 1 percent in urban areas.

At constituency level, it is interesting to note that most of the households in the constituencies reported

farming as their main source of income except for Guinas and Tsumeb whereby more than half of the

households reported wages and salaries.

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). The types of housing units are defined in

Appendix 1.

Table 8.1.1 shows that traditional dwelling are predominant as they are occupied by three quarters of

all households in the region. Close to 17 percent of the households live in detached, semi detached

houses. There are significant differences between urban and rural areas with respect to the types of

housing units. While 79 percent of the urban households reside in detached/semi-detached dwellings,

85 percent of the rural households reside in traditional dwelling units.

At constituency level, detached and semi-detached houses predominate in Tsumeb (79%) and Guinas

(45%), while traditional dwellings dominate in the rest of the constituencies. It should be noted

improvised housing units (shacks) are fairly common in Guinas (15%) and Tsumeb (7%).

8.2 Type of tenure

Information on tenure is presented in Table 8.2.1. Most of the housing units (60%) in the region are

occupied by owners, without any mortgage. This phenomenon is more common in rural (77%) than in

urban (35%) areas. Housing units occupied by owners with mortgage are found mainly in urban areas

(31%). Likewise, households who reside in rented dwellings not tied to their jobs are found mainly in

the urban areas (19%). A significant proportion (11%) of dwelling units provided by employers are

found in rural areas of the region.

At constituency level, relatively high proportions of the households own their dwellings without

mortgage in all constituencies, except Guinas and Tsumeb. Owner-occupied dwellings with mortgage

as well as rented ones predominate in Tsumeb. In Guinas, about 40 percent of the households reside in

dwellings provided by employers.

8.3 Average number of persons per room

Households were asked to give information on the number of rooms in their housing units. Rooms

include all the rooms used for sleeping and exclude places such as kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, stoeps

and verandas. The distribution of the average number of persons per room by area is shown in Table

8.3.1 below.

urban than in rural areas. At constituency

level, the average number of persons per

room is lowest in Onayena and highest in

Guinas.

8.4 Materials used for construction

Information on the main materials used for the construction of roofs, floors and walls are given in

Tables 8.4.1 - 8.4.3. It can be seen from Table 8.4.1 that the most commonly used material for roofing

in the region are thatched grass. Two thirds of the households reside in dwellings with such roofs.

Another 30 percent of the households live in dwellings whose roofs are of corrugated iron sheets.

There are distinct differences between urban and rural areas. Whereas the predominant roofing

material in the urban (92%) areas is the corrugated iron sheet that for the rural (76%) areas is thatched

grass.

At constituency level, roofs with corrugated iron sheets predominate in Guinas (79%) and Tsumeb

(92%), while those with thatched grass predominate in the rest of the constituencies.

With respect to materials used for the floor, sand is the most common material. Table 8.4.2 shows that

slightly over half of the households in the region occupy dwellings with this type of floor. Dwellings

with cement floors are occupied by 24 percent of the households, while those with mud/clay floors are

occupied by another 23 percent. Differences can be observed between urban and rural areas.

Dwellings with cement floors are predominant in urban areas with 85 percent of the households

occupying them. In the case of rural areas, dwellings with sand floors predominate with 73 percent of

the households occupying them, followed by those with mud/clay (26%) and cement (16%) floors.

At constituency level, dwellings with sand floors predominate in all the constituencies except Tsumeb.

Dwellings with sand and cement floors are also fairly common in some of the constituencies.

With regard to materials used for the construction of walls, wooden poles, stick and grass predominate

in the region. About 57 percent of the households live in dwellings with walls made with such

materials. There are distinct differences between urban and rural areas. In the former, the

predominant material for the walls are cement blocks/bricks (84%), while in the latter wooden poles,

stick and mud (65%) predominate.

At constituency level, dwellings with walls of wooden poles, stick and mud predominate almost all

constituencies except Guinas and Tsumeb. In Tsumeb walls of cement blocks/bricks predominate,

while in Guinas both cement blocks/bricks as well as corrugated iron sheets are the most commonly

materials 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. As indicated in Table 8.5.1, most households (84%) in the region rely on wood

and charcoal from wood for cooking. This proportion is even higher in rural areas (92%) than in

urban ones (23%). A higher proportion of households use electricity for cooking urban (57%) than

in rural (3%) areas.

At constituency level, all of them, except Tsumeb, extensively make use of wood/charcoal from wood

for cooking purposes. In Tsumeb, 57 percent of the household use electricity, 23 percent use

wood/charcoal from wood, while another 16 percent utilise gas for cooking purposes.

It can be observed in Table 8.5.2 that, in the region as a whole, the candle, wood, paraffin and

electricity are all used by households for lighting purposes. The corresponding proportions of

households are 34, 29, 20 and 14 percent respectively. In the urban areas more than three quarters of

the households use electricity for lighting. On the other hand, in the rural areas, the candle, wood and

paraffin are all utilised, with the corresponding proportions being 36, 33 and 23 percent respectively.

At Constituency level, except for Tsumeb, households in the rest of the constituencies make use

paraffin, the candle and wood for lighting purposes. Most of the households (77%) in Tsumeb use

electricity for the same purpose.

Table 8.5.3 shows that about 21 percent of the households do not heat their homes. Almost two thirds

of the households in the region use wood/charcoal from wood to heat their homes. In urban areas,

electricity and wood/charcoal from wood are the main sources of energy for heating purposes. The

corresponding proportion of households using them are 47 and 19 percent respectively. On the other

hand, in rural areas, most of the households (72%) use only wood/charcoal from wood for the same

purpose.

With regard to constituencies, other than Tsumeb, most of the households in the rest of the

constituencies use wood/charcoal from wood. In Tsumeb, about 47 percent of the households make

use of electricity for the same purpose.

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

88% of all households in Oshikoto 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. 43 percent of

the households in the region depend on piped water within their compounds for drinking and cooking.

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, 88 percent of the households have access

to safe water.

It can be observed in Table 9.1.1 that about 43 percent of the households in the region have piped

water within their compounds. Another 40 percent get their water from public pipes. However, about

7 percent still rely on rivers, streams, dams and canals for their water.

There are distinct differences between urban and rural areas. In urban areas safe water is available to

98 percent of the households. The corresponding proportion for the rural areas is 87 percent. Whereas

piped water within the compound is available to 78 percent of the households, the proportion in the

rural areas is only 39 percent. On the other hand, water from public pipes is available to 42 percent of

the households in rural area as against 19 percent in the urban ones. Higher proportions of households

in rural (4%) areas than in urban (1%) ones get their water from natural sources.

In constituencies, the proportion of households with safe water ranges from 73 percent in Engondi to

98 percent in Tsumeb. Most of the households rely on water in pipes within their compounds or public

pipes. Safe boreholes are a common feature in the constituencies of Engondi, Guinas and Okankolo.

Table 9.1.2 presents the percent distribution of households by distance to the water source. It can be

seen that over 50 percent of the households are relatively close to the water source with a distance of

100 metres or less. However, about 20 percent of the households in the region have to cover more

than one kilometre to fetch their water. The situation is worse for rural than for urban areas.

Relatively higher proportions of rural than urban households cover relatively longer distances to fetch

their water.

9.2 Type of toilet facility

Seven out ten households in Oshikoto region have no toilet facility

Table 9.2 presents the percent distribution of households by type of toilet facility. About 7 out of 10

households in Oshikoto region have no toilet facility. Instead, they utilise the bush. Only 16 percent

of the households in the region use a flush toilet facility. Notable differences exist between urban and

rural areas. Whereas 79 percent of the households in the rural areas have no toilet facility, the

corresponding proportion in the urban ones is only 3 percent. Over 90 percent of the households in

the urban areas use a flush toilet while the corresponding percentage in the rural areas is 5.

Alarmingly high proportions of the households in most of the constituencies have no access to toilet

facilities The notable exceptions are Tsumeb and Olukonda. Itiss worth noting that the pit long drop

latrine is utilised by about 40 percent of the households in Olukonda.

Table 9.3 shows the percent distribution of households by means of disposing garbage/refuse. The

most common means of disposing garbage in Oshikoto region is incineration, which is utilised by one

third of the households. This means of disposal is utilised mainly inn rural (38%) areas. Regular pick-

up of garbage is a common feature in urban areas with 58 percent of the households enjoying this

service. Incineration, the rubbish pit and roadside dumping are all popular means of garbage disposal

in all the constituencies, except Tsumeb, where regular collection is the most common.

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 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 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 Oshikoto region have 4 to 5 children

The total fertility rates for Oshikoto 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 four to

five children. Women in urban areas were expected to have four children, while those in rural areas

gave birth to five children. The total fertility rates for constituencies ranged from about four in

Olukonda and Tsumeb to about eight in Okankolo.

10.2 Fertility Pattern

Teen-age females contribute about 9 percent to the total fertility rate

in Oshikoto

The pattern of fertility for women in child-bearing ages in Oshikoto region is shown in Table 10.2..1

Motherhood starts at a fairly early age, and child bearing is still relatively significant in the late ages.

Teen-age females contribute 9 percent to the total fertility, while women aged 40 years and above

contribute another 12 percent. Child-bearing for women is concentrated in the 20–39 age groups

which contribute 80 percent to the total fertility in the region.

Chapter 11 Mortality and Orphanhood

53

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. 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, 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

Oshikoto region. It can be observed that the number of deaths has been increasing since 1999.

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 and the constituencies. The percent increase ranges from 83 to 140 in Onayena

and Onyaanya constituencies respectively. The magnitude of mortality in the region can also be

observed by looking at households which had at least one death within the last 3 years before the

Census. This is shown in figure 11.1.2. For the region as a whole, close to two out of five households

have experienced at least one death within the three years before the Census. Over one out of four

households in Onayena have had a death 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. This provides an overall measure of child mortality. 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 Oshikoto Region is

57 and 60 infant deaths for 1 000 live births respectively for females and males. Infant mortality is

lower for urban than for rural areas. With regard to constituencies, Onyaanya has the highest infant

mortality rates for females (71), while Okankolo has the highest for males (86). Whereas Olukonda

constituency has the lowest infant mortality for females (22), Onayena has the lowest for males (36).

Child mortality follows the same pattern as that of infant mortality. However, the rates of under-five

mortality are rather alarming. Overall, males are worse off than females.


55

The life expectancy at birth in the region is 51 and 50 years respectively for females and males. Rural

areas are worse off than the urban areas. Onyaanya females and Oniipa males had the lowest life

expectancy at birth of 38 and 43 years respectively. The life expectancy at birth for females in Guinas

and for males in Olukonda are relatively high when compared to the rest of the constituencies.

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. It can be observed

that 29 percent of the households in Oshikoto 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 about 4

percent. This implies that in 1 out of every 25 households there is a child without both parents,

relying on extended family relatives for survival. It can be seen that more households in rural areas as

compared to urban areas have orphans. At constituency level, Onayena has the highest proportion of

households with at least one child who has lost one parent and Tsumeb has the lowest. The

constituency with the highest percentage of households with at least one child who has lost both

parents is Onyaanya and the one with the lowest is Guinas.

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

a whole, 13 percent of all children under this age have lost one parent. This is more than one out of

every 10 children under 15 years of age living with only one parent. The proportion of orphans under

the same age without both parents is slightly over 1 percent. This implies that more than 1 out of

every 100 children under the age of 15 have no parents. 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.

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.

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.
