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.
