Life And Labor Bulletin PDF Download

Excerpt from Bulletin of the Department of Labor: No. 34, May, 1901 The female population is in excess only or per cent of the total population, and a comparison with the Spanish census statistics of 1861 and 1887 indicates that the proportion of females is slowly, though steadily, increasing. Of the total population, 31 per cent are under 10 years of age, a higher proportion than is found in any State of the Union, or in any other of the West Indian islands. Deducting this 31 per cent, or from the total number of inhabitants, the remaining constitute the total from which the wage workers of the island must be drawn, although a considerable number of children under the age of 10 (a), chiefly boys, earn the whole or part of a living for them selves, and sometimes even for others, as street peddlers or in the other vocations Of outdoor life in which child labor in the Tropics can be employed.
