A profile of Jamaica is sketched in this paper. Emphasis is placed on the nature, scope, and accomplishments of population activities in the country. Topics and sub-topics include: location and description of the island; population - size, growth patterns, age structure, rural/urban distribution, ethnic and religious composition, literacy, future trends; population growth and socioeconomic development - relationship of national income, relationship to size of labor force, relationship to social welfare expenditures for education and public health; history of population concerns; population policies - relevant laws; population programs - organization, operations; private efforts in family planning; foreign assistance for family planning activities; and research and evaluation.
