Population
The native Indian population (Aruak) was almost completely exterminated in the early colonial times, small remnants mixed with the blacks brought to Jamaica as slaves, who today make up around 98% of the population together with mulattos. The majority of the Indians (around 1%), whose ancestors were recruited as contract workers after the abolition of slavery, are now small farmers. The Chinese who immigrated later and the whites, who formed the upper class until independence, each have a share of the population of less than 1%. Because of the strong population increase, many Jamaicans emigrated, earlier mainly to the plantation areas of Central America, after 1945 especially to Great Britain, Canada and the USA. As a result of strong rural exodus, the proportion of the urban population rose from 19% (1943) to 55% (2017). In the agglomeration Kingston live over a fifth of the total population. Next major cities are Portmore, Spanish Town and Montego Bay.
