Maldives’ Human Capital Index Stunted Due to Education Gaps: World Bank Report
The World Bank's first Human Capital Review for the Maldives found a national Human Capital Index score of 0.596, meaning a child born on 8 Feb 2024 is expected to reach only about 60 percent of their productive potential by age 18. The report attributes much of the shortfall to education quality gaps, spatial and gender inequalities, stunting and low female employment, and it sets out several policy recommendations.
