Jump to Topic Social Structure Ethnic Groups and Languages Religion ... Education Maldives Profile Physiography History Society and Culture Health Services Economy Government Social Structure Maldives was a caste society well into the 1920s. Modernization efforts however, have helped make Maldives more homogeneous in the early 1990s. Traditionally, a significant gap has existed between the elite living on Male and the remainder of the population inhabiting the outer islandsthose atolls distant from Male. President Gayoom's development philosophy has centered on decreasing this gap by raising the standard of living among the 75 percent of Maldivians who live in the outer atolls as well as making Maldives more self-sufficient. Fortunately, social tensions that might have affected these two distinct societies were lessened by the isolation of the outer islands. The geographical advantage of having many islands, for example, has enabled Maldives to limit the impact of tourism to special resorts. Male, the traditional seat of the sultans and of the nobility, remains an elite society wielding political and economic power. Members of the several traditionally privileged ruling families; government, business, and religious leaders; professionals; and scholars are found there. Male differs from other island communities also because as many as 40 percent of its residents are migrants.

Home Table of contents Foreword Our promise ... Early childhood Country profiles Panels Text figures Maps Tables ... PDF files The Maldives ECD project uses a multimedia approach to reach households in this archipelago of 1,200 tiny islands scattered over 90,000 sq. km of ocean. An important objective is to create a media culture in which children are told they are valued, regularly see themselves portrayed in the media, are encouraged to express themselves and have these expressions valued from infancy. In addition to promoting the inclusion of children with disabilities in all their materials, the Maldives project is focusing on another often unacknowledged but highly important group: adolescents. The project provides older siblings with ways to help stimulate the development of their younger brothers and sisters while watching over them. The Maldives project aims to raise the status of ECD so that it becomes a key indicator for assessing progress and development at the island, atoll and national levels. Previous Next

In the 17th century the Dutch, who had replaced the Portuguese, established hegemony over Maldivian affairs without involving themselves directly in local matters. In 1796 the Maldives came under British protection. They became a republic in 1968, three years after independence. Tourism and fishing are being developed on the archipelago.

REPORT The politics of information control Dumbing down the Maldivian atolls by and Fareesha Abdulla allowed not only the Maldives National Security Service (NSS), but also cliques within the administration including the president, to act without legal and ethical restrictions. Any suggestion of reform is treated as a personal threat to these groups. Maldives is a tightly managed society and NSS actions of violence and intimidation without any regard for the legal rights of the people, requires organised connivance by a state acting well beyond the boundaries of traditionally accepted Maldivian norms. his administration. In the midst of unparalleled wealth in Male, the government's obsession with control and suppression of criticism has effectively prevented any comparable economic development beyond the capital."
