    The critical role of Jamaican migration

    Edward Seaga

    Population pressure has been a persistent problem since emancipation. It is the insidious base of Jamaica's greatest obstacle — unemployment.

    On August 1, 1838, Emancipation Day, 310,000 enslaved men, women (and children) were freed. This mass introduction into the labour force precipitated a problem which was new and hitherto unknown to the Jamaican economy: a huge surplus of unemployed labour. Suddenly, substantial openings or opportunities were needed for an excessive number of workers without skills — in effect, a problem akin to overpopulation, or mass unemployment.

    THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

    "Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.


    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.
