FOREWORD
This issue of the Annual Abstract of Statistics
provides a wide range of statistical data on Anguilla for the period 1988 –
2000. There have been a number of
revisions to tables and additional tables presented. The table on Cause of Death
has been revised to conform to the International Classification of Diseases. The
population data is based upon preliminary estimates from the 2001 Census. New
tables include Waste Disposal, Life Expectancy, Driver’s Licenses by Age &
Sex, Water Production and the Number of Businesses by Individuals and Size.
The purpose of this publication is to provide
data to business organisations, researchers, government departments and the
general public on the economic and social trends of Anguilla. The Statistics
Office gratefully acknowledges the contributions of all data suppliers.
Notification of errors and omissions is certainly welcome, and we do
invite comments and recommendations on the contents and coverage.
There
are a considerable number of tables in this abstract. Users are provided with relevant information on Climate,
Population, Demography, Education, Health, Crime, Public Utilities, Travel and
Financial and Economic statistics.
The work on this publication was done by
Statistical Assistant, Charmine Fleming, whose hard work is commended.
This publication could not have been possible
without the cooperation of a number of Government Departments, Boards and some
private sector institutions. We
thank them for continuing to provide the data which is now published in this
abstract. We look forward to the
same cooperation and continued support in the future.
A special effort is to be made in 2002
to publish the updated tables for 2001 earlier in the year. This will mean that
the publication’s chapters will be issued separately as data becomes
available. The publication will be available from the government web site at
www.gov.ai.
