  • Tongans, a Polynesian group, represent more than 98% of the inhabitants of Tonga. The rest are European (the majority are British), mixed European, and other Pacific Islanders. There also are several hundred Chinese. Almost two-thirds of the population live on its main island, Tongatapu. Although an increasing number of Tongans have moved into the only urban and commercial center, Nukuʻalofa, where European and indigenous cultural and living patterns have blended, village life and kinship ties continue to be important throughout the country. Everyday life is heavily influenced by Polynesian traditions and especially by the Christian faith; for example, all commerce and entertainment activities cease from midnight Saturday until midnight Sunday, and the constitution declares the Sabbath to be sacred, forever. Other important Christian denominations include Methodists (Free Wesleyan) and Roman Catholics, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Primary education between ages 6 and 14 is compulsory and free in state schools. Mission schools provide about 83% of the primary and 90% of the secondary level education. Higher education includes teacher training, nursing and medical training, a small private university, a women's business college, and a number of private agricultural schools. Most higher education is pursued overseas. Based on 2006 estimates, the religious breakdown of the population was Protestant 64.9% (includes Free Wesleyan Church 37.3%, Free Church of Tonga 11.4%, Church of Tonga 7.2%, Tokaikolo Christian Church 2.6%, Assembly of God 2.3%, Seventh Day Adventist 2.2%, Constitutional Church of Tonga 0.9%, Anglican 0.8% and Full Gospel Church 0.2%), Latter-day Saints 18.6%, Roman Catholic 15.6%, other 1.1%, none 0.03%, unspecified 1.7%. As the 1960s ended the population growth rate fell rapidly in the country. (en)
  • Más de la mitad de los habitantes de Tonga se concentran en la mayor de las islas, Tongatapu, que cuenta con una superficie de 260 km². La densidad media de población de las islas llega a los 140 habitantes por km². A pesar de que muchos tonganos se han trasladado al único núcleo urbano que hay en todo el archipiélago, Nukualofa (en el que conviven el modo de vida tradicional y el europeo), la vida en los poblados y los vínculos familiares siguen siendo muy importantes en la cultura tongana. La vida cotidiana está muy influenciada tanto por las tradiciones polinesias como por el cristianismo: por ejemplo, cualquier actividad comercial o lúdica se suspende en domingo, mientras la Constitución declara sagrado el sábado. Los tonganos, grupo de raza polinesia con algunas aportaciones melanesias, constituyen el 98% de la población. El resto está compuesto por europeos, mestizos europeo-tonganos y emigrantes de otras islas del Pacífico. También viven algunos centenares de chinos. (es)
