The Portuguese population of Macao, 1800-1850: a demographic analysis
pdfPage
Diogo Queijo *
This paper offers a critical analysis of the figures on the Portuguese population in Macau during the period 1800-1850, available in a series of tables called “population maps”. These “maps” are of irregular periodicity, starting in 1803 and ending in 1849. Their study makes it possible to identify the evolution of the Portuguese population by sex and thus assess the balance between men and women in that territory. The period is characterized by a reduced growth of the Portuguese population, but a considerable increase in the masculinity ratio.
