Abstract: Explores the demographic challenges faced by the Micronesian Islands during their trusteeship under the United States. The work examines the historical and cultural aspects of population control in Micronesia, drawing comparisons to similar challenges faced in the Asian mainland. It discusses how reproductive norms and cultural mechanisms for demographic control played a role in the survival and potential decimation of indigenous populations, suggesting that a balance in birth and survival rates was crucial for ensuring a community’s longevity.

The paper includes references to various statistical collections and studies, highlighting historical interpretations and insights into Micronesia’s demographic conditions. It also delves into specific geographic and ethnographic summaries, along with studies about the economic and human resources of different islands within Micronesia. Additional references provide context on military governance, labor issues, and the broader socio-economic landscape in the Pacific during different historical periods.
