Poverty, education and employment
Data on employment within sub-sectors of the economy (e.g.,
in capture fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, shipping, etc.) are
not available and so cannot be used to determine trends for
the marine economy vis-à-vis the entire economy.
The elementary and secondary school participation rate
(proportion of children of school age who attend school)
declined from 1996–1997 to 2003 and rose in 2007. This
trend may be due to issues in the consistency of data
collection methods and data sampling. The proportion (55%)
of the entire population 18 years old and above who are high
school graduates is higher than the national average (2003
as cited in PHDR, 2005).
