These include the provision of high-quality education for all Maldivian children, with the aim that no child will be left behind. These policies focus on ensuring the provision of education and skills beginning from primary education. More recently pre-school education has been included as the foundation stage of the new national curriculum. Given that today’s children will become tomorrow’s workforce, government policies are geared towards developing capable, professional youth with the necessary skills to foster economically productive and actively engaged citizens in the future. While detailed disaggregated data on socio-economic aspects of children are needed in order to support evidence based decision making and ensure the well-being of our children, there is a lack of data specifically on children in Maldives. ln the absence of such data, census data has been valuable in the formulation and successful implementation of various development policies related to children, including the progress made towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It was highlighted in the last MDG report that Maldives has achieved five out of eight MDG goals. Although most of the MDG indicators require concerted effort from a number of stakeholders, census data has contributed significantly to the achievement of MDGs, through better monitoring and evaluation and in the development of suitable polices and interventions. Likewise, I hope this report will be a useful contributor for developing representative data for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals relevant for the children. At present, the 2014 population Census of Maldives remain the most comprehensive source of information available at the most disaggregated level. Census provide data on socio-economic and demographic characteristics of our population. As such, this analysis on children of Maldives is developed using 2014 census results to understand the situation of children in the country. This analysis focuses on the key areas such as demography, living arrangement, education, labour force, nuptiality and fertility of the child population below the age of 18 years. It is intended to support planners make better-informed decisions in formulating national policies, where action is urgently required. The demography of the Maldives has undergone tremendous changes over the past two decades. The number of children in the population has decreased by 20,000 children during the period 2000 and 2014. While the child population below the age of 18 has decreased over the most recent censuses 2006 and 2014, the number of children under the age of 1 as well as children below 5 years of age has increased slightly. The share of population made up of children fell from 50 percent in 1995 to 33 percent in 2014. As per the current population projections based on the 2014 census, the share of children in the population is expected to decrease further, to reach 25 percent by the year 2030 and further to 18 percent by the year 2050. This changing age structure has important implications on the child population and many of its socio-economic characteristics. Need to bring population issues within overall development strategies; strengthen the institutional setting to address population issues; expand population and development research; and enhance advocacy on population and development issues have also been highlighted by previous analysis done recently on population dynamics using the census 2014 data. It is the intention of the Government to continue investing in the collection of regular data on the socio- economic aspects of children in the Maldives on a regular basis through censuses, surveys and through strengthening of existing government administrative systems and through alternative data sources. The production of this report is an outcome resulting from a lot of hard work, and valuable inputs from numerous people over a period of time technically and financially.Item Data updates on sustainable development goals 2018(National Bureau of Statistics, 2018-01) National Bureau of Statistics; ނެޝަނަލް ބިޔުރޯ އޮފް ސްޓެޓިސްޓިކްސްThe Sustainable Development Goals are set of ambitions for countries around the world. The Maldives is working to achieve these goals, which build on the Millennium Development Goals while adding new areas including climate change, economic inequality, innovation, peace and justice, among others. The National Bureau of Statistics wrote this report to assess the Maldives' progress on these goals as of 2018.Item Future of work in Maldives through national transfer accounts(National Bureau of Statistics & UNFPA Maldives, 2020) National Bureau of Statistics; UNFPA MaldivesItem Household income & expenditure survey :employment 2016 : Analytical Release III(National Bureau of Statistics, 2018-07) National Bureau of Statistics; ނެޝަނަލް ބިޔުރޯ އޮފް ސްޓެޓިސްޓިކްސް ޔުނިސެފް މޯލްޑިވްސްThe third in a series of reports by the National Bureau of Statistics on income and expenditure of households in the Maldives.

Moreover, the chapter highlights the characteristics of the main income earner and the characteristics of income generating households together with a general focus on the atoll level distribution. This chapter presents an analysis of income based on monthly household income, monthly per capita income and per earner income. In section 4 to section 5, the chapter looks into the detail of monthly income on average, median monthly household income. Section 7 highlights the sources of income and section 8 describes the income patterns by income groups and average income per earners. Section 9 presents limitations of the analysis and Section 10 summarizes the chapter.Item Household income and expenditure survey (HIES) : analytical report II: household expenditure 2016(2018-07-04) National Bureau of Statistics; ނެޝަނަލް ބިޔުރޯ އޮފް ސްޓެޓިސްޓިކްސްThe household income and expenditure survey 2016 captured the consumption expenditure incurred by households. Household consumption expenditure is the value of consumer goods and services acquired, used or paid for by a household for the satisfaction of the needs and wants of its members. The consumption expenditure includes four main broad components; - expenditure on food items - expenditure on non-food items/ services - expenditure on durable goods - expenditure on rent For collecting food and non- food expenditures, and services acquired by households, HIES 2016 used a predefined list of commonly incurred expenses, by the households during the given reference period. The reference period varied from one week to 12 months, depending on the type of expense. This included items ‘received’ in kind and as gifts by the household but those were not valued in monetary terms and are not included in deriving the household expenditures. The expenditure values used here, reflects only those items/services which have been purchased/acquired by the household. The different expenditure components and the reference period for which information was collected in the survey is summarized.Item Household income and expenditure survey (HIES) : analytical report III : employment 2016(2018-07-04) National Bureau of Statistics; ނެޝަނަލް ބިޔުރޯ އޮފް ސްޓެޓިސްޓިކްސްThis chapter aims to provide a comprehensive set of labour market statistics and indicators to assess the current situation and to help in monitoring the labour market performance. It provides headcounts of the labour force, of persons in employment, of those in time-related underemployment, of persons in unemployment, of potential labour force and subsistence food producers. Indicators in relation to the working-age population such as employment-to-population ratio, labour force participation rate is provided as well. In addition, various measures of labour underutilization are compiled and presented. Data on the working-age population engaged in all different forms of work falling within the general production boundary such as own-use production of goods and services and time use on different forms of work is also presented. It highlights the gaps among women and men in terms of these indicators as well as the differences observed between Male’ and the Atolls. Adhering to these standards for producing labour market statistics, will help to enhance the international comparability of the national statistics, help in measurement some key aspects and indicators to measures of decent work. These data will also facilitate the measurement of related Sustainable Development Goal indicators. It is aimed to shed some light on the evidence needed for making better labour market policies to help close these gaps and support the efforts in the achievement of gender equality and sustainable development.Item Household income and expenditure survey (HIES) : analytical report IV : poverty & inequality 2016(2018-07-04) National Bureau of Statistics; ނެޝަނަލް ބިޔުރޯ އޮފް ސްޓެޓިސްޓިކްސްAround the world, countries use a wide variety of poverty measurement methodologies. Given the multitude of concepts, the purpose of this chapter is to summarize key elements of poverty measurement in the Maldives and to provide an overview of welfare of Maldivians. One of the main objectives of the Household Income and Expenditures Survey (HIES) is to provide information on welfare and living standards and their distribution over households. Of particular importance is the measurement and tracking of welfare amongst the poorest segments of the population, and HIES survey data provide the principal means for estimating the extent and severity of poverty in the Maldives. A common method used to measure poverty is based on levels of consumption—a person is considered poor if his or her consumption level falls below some minimum level necessary to meet basic needs. This minimum level is usually called the “poverty line”. What is necessary to satisfy basic needs varies across time and countries. Therefore, poverty lines vary in time and across countries, and each country uses lines which are appropriate to its level of development, societal norms and values. Poverty is not easy to define and different definitions exist. A broader approach refers to poverty as a state in which individuals’ capabilities are unacceptably low as viewed by society (Sen, 1992). Sen’s approach defines capability by considering not only what people have in material possessions but also what people do or are capable of doing. A narrow approach of poverty refers to the lack of command over basic consumption needs (e.g. too little food energy intake; too little leisure). Poverty is certainly a complex and multidimensional phenomenon which makes it difficult to measure. This chapter therefore aims at briefly laying out the methodological framework of measuring poverty in the Maldives using a relative poverty line and presents findings of applying the poverty concepts in the context of the Maldives. For the purpose of this chapter, poverty is the pronounced deprivation in well-being (World Bank, 2000) defined as whether households or individuals have enough resources or abilities to meet their needs (Ravallion, 2016). Poverty is also multidimensional in nature and can include low incomes and the inability to acquire the basic goods and services necessary for survival with dignity but also low levels of health and education, poor access to clean water and sanitation, inadequate physical security, lack of voice, and insufficient capacity and opportunity to better one’s life.Item Maldives population projections 2014-2054 : assumptions and results analysis(United Nations Population Fund Maldives) National Bureau of Statistics; Ministry of Finance and TreasuryItem Statistical pocketbook of Maldives 2018(National Bureau of Statistics, Maldives, 2018) National Bureau of Statistics; ނެޝަނަލް ބިޔުރޯ އޮފް ސްޓެޓިސްޓިކްސްItem Youth in Maldives(National Bureau of Statistics, Maldives, 2014) ނެޝަނަލް ބިޔުރޯ އޮފް ސްޓެޓިސްޓިކްސް; National Bureau of Statistics
