Social Structure of the British Caribbean

Cumper, George, Caribbean Affairs: Social Structure of the British Caribbean (Excluding Jamaica), Parts I & III, [General Editor: Philip Sherlock], The Extra-Mural Department, University College of the West Indies, N.D.

From the Introduction to Part I:
The chief object of this pamphlet as of the similar pamphlet on the social structure of Jamaica already published, is to provide statistical material for study groups interested in social questions. Most of the material is taken from the Report of the 1946 Census, the unpublished sections of which were made available through the courtesy of Mr. L. G. Hopkins, Vital Statistics Advisor. (...) Part I is concerned with vital statistics and the age and sex distribution of the population. Part II deals with the family, housing, racial groupings and the relation between town and country. Part III deals with occupations, industrial divisions, industrial incomes and employment.
