It examines pathways for creating jobs for an expanding working-age population and enabling private sector–led growth, while identifying key constraints to unlock that agenda. The update also reviews sustainability challenges across fiscal, social, spatial, and environmental dimensions, and concludes with prioritization guidance supported by annexes and references.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nMaldives Systematic Country Diagnostic Update  \nReport number: 157675-MV  \nTable of Contents  \nAbbreviations ................................................................................................................................................ 4  \n1 Introduction .......................................................................................................................................... 5  \n2 Emerging Issues and Opportunities Ahead.......................................................................................... 10  \n2.1 Jobs for an Expanding Working-Age Population.......................................................................... 11  \n2.2 Unlocking Private Sector–led Growth.......................................................................................... 15  \n2.3 Key Constraints to Unlocking the Private Sector ......................................................................... 19  \n3 Sustainability Challenges under the Current Model ............................................................................ 29  \n3.1 Fiscal and External Sustainability ................................................................................................. 29  \n3.2 Social Sustainability and Spatial Disparities ................................................................................. 33  \n3.3 Environmental Sustainability ....................................................................................................... 38  \n4 Prioritization ........................................................................................................................................ 42  \nAnnex 1: Poverty, Inequality, and Socioeconomic Outcomes in Maldives ..................................................46  \nAnnex 2: Labor Market Outcomes in Maldives............................................................................................ 49  \nAnnex 3: Comparability between the 2016 HIES and Previous Survey Rounds ........................................... 58  \nAnnex 4: SCD Consultations ........................................................................................................................ 59  \nAnnex 5: SCD Team Composition ................................................................................................................ 62  \nAnnex 6: Knowledge Gaps ........................................................................................................................... 63  \nReferences................................................................................................................................................... 65  \nList of Figures  \nFigure 1.
