shows a projected growth pattern for children (1-4 years)
similar to that pattern for infants.
Again, the district centers are pro-
jected to grow at the highest rate, followed by the intermediate areas.
The
child population in the sub-district centers is expected to grow faster than
in the outer islands.
In terms of total numbers, the district centers are
also expected to have the greatest nunber of children, followed by the inter-
mediate areas, the outer islands, and the sub-district centers.
Fi f ty.
percent of all children are expected to be living in the district centers by |
1982.
However, they will constitute a decreasing proportion of the district
centers‘ total population {12.1 percent in 1982, as compared to 13.1 percent
in 1973), while the population of children in the other geographical subdivisions of Micronesia will constitute an yncreasing proportion of those
areas total population. |
