The government’s policy to solve problems facing Maldivian youth is not to provide more entertainment facilities but to spur job creation and encourage gainful employment, Youth Minister Hassan Latheef told press yesterday.
Speaking at a press conference at Dharubaaruge convention centre, Latheef said that the government did not believe that the “primary task of youth is entertainment,” adding that a steady income would lead to a more stable life.
A recently concluded survey of 24,000 businesses in Male’, Viligilli and Hulhumale’ revealed that there were over 1,600 unwanted jobs in the Greater Male’ region.
The results of the survey will be published on the ministry’s web site next week.

the youth doesn't need more entertainment and they should just work more and get this country developed. if this is done, believe me there would be less crime, less drug abuse.
the entire country prefers to spend their lives in coffee houses instead of taking care of their immediate family or concentrate on their jobs and careers.
if they would look after their family properly, that would be entertainment enough and in result the family bonding would avoid drug abuse and crimes.
I would like to understand one very simple thing in this news item.. what on earth is being referred to as over 1600 unwanted jobs in the greater Male' region?? This makes no sense... how were the jobs counted? and really, what are unwanted jobs?? could you not describe it better, in a way the reader fully understands what is being meant here.
