Population
The population of Maldives has boomed during the last few decades to 270,000, out of which a quarter of the population inhabits the capital, Male’. The other largest communities of 9,640, 7243 and 6,354 reside in Hithadhoo in Addu Atoll, Fuamulah and Kulhudhufushi in Haa Dhaalu Atoll respectively. The rest is dispersed sparsely across the rest of the 200 inhabited islands.
Maldives still remains as one of the smallest independent nations in Asia.
Women
Maldivian women have always played a prominent role in society. Some of the most dominant rulers recorded in early history are Sultanas and it has been suggested that the society was once a matriarchy.
Early Maldivian women played an important role in building the economy of the country through farming and other primary economic activities.
In today’s society women play an important role in the family and hold strong positions in government and business. Women are given equal opportunities in education and employment. They are encouraged to pursue careers which contributes to the fact that a large percentage of government employees are women. Women also serve in the cabinet and the Parliament
