From 19L0 to 1965, the birth rate went
from 31.3 to 27.3, while the death
rate continued its decline from 16.3
to 5.5 (see Table 27). Since the
figures on birth and death rates that
appear in Table 2 7 refer to all
residents in Hawaii (not just native
Hawaiians) it will be helpful to keep
in mind the composition of the
population during the time covered in
the table (1848 through 1965). 67/
The birth and death rates from the
period of 1848 to 1884 occurred during
a decline in the proportion of
full-Hawaiians from greater than 95
percent of the population to less than
50 percent, and a further decline to
less than two percent in 1965
(concommitant with a decline in the
overall death rate). At the same
cime, there was a gradual increase in
the part-Hawaiian population from less
than two percent in 1848 to about 15
percent in 1965.
The death rate for the State of
Hawaii did not decrease much from
1965—the death rate in 1980 was 5.0,
compared to 5.5 in 1965. 68/ The birth
rate declined from 27.3 in 1965 to
18.6 in 1980 for the State population
as a whole. 69/
Infant Mortality
Extraordinary improvement in the
overall infant mortality rate in
Hawaii occurred during this century—
from 119 deaths per 1,000 births in
1924 to 10 deaths per 1,000 by 1980.
Throughout most of this period,
however, Hawaiians and part-Hawaiians
continued to display mortality rates
higher than the average. For example,
in 1970 full-Hawaiians had an infant
mortality rate of 65, compared to 22
for part-Hawaiians, and 19 for the
State as a whole (see Table 28).
Only the accompanying high birth
rates among native Hawaiians off-set
infant mortality and permitted the
population to increase. These high
birth rates also created an age
distribution that was heavily weighted
toward a young population; a trend
that continues today (see above, page
41).
The high infant death rates for
Hawaiians and part-Hawaiians compared
to other ethnic groups in Hawaii
continues. According to the Hawaii
State Department of Health: "The
infant death rate of part-Hawaiians
was significantly higher during the
five-year period of 1977-1981 than
that of Caucasians, Chinese, Filipino
and Japanese. The confidence limits
on the small races were so broad that
their rates for that period cannot be
considered significantly different
from any of the larger racial groups."
70/ Table 29 shows that the infant
death rate for part-Hawaiians during
this period was 13.8, compared to 8.9
for Caucasians, 7.0 for Chinese, 9.2
for Filipinos, 8.8 for Japanese, and
10.5 for the "all races" group.
Table 3 0 presents comparative
figures for characteristics of births
in Hawaii in 1980. Part-Hawaiians
have a relatively high birth ratehigher
than full-Hawaiians, which
foreshadows the trend already
indicated for an increasing part-
Hawaiian population. Full- and part-
Hawaiians have a similar male/female
birth ratio. Part- and full-Hawaiian
infants have low birth weights 7.4
percent of the time, compared to 11.8
percent for Japanese and 9.3 percent
for the Filipino group. Part-
Hawaiians, followed by full-Hawaiians,
have an extremely high ratio of
illegitimate births.
Life Expectancy
Life expectancy patterns for the
nineteenth century in Hawaii are not
available. However, by 1910 enough
reliable data had been collected to
make this kind of statistical extrapolation
possible. These projections
