<- The population of Maldives belongs almost entirely to the Maldivian ethnic group.Maldives Population, as of 4/3/2024, is 518,615
The population density is 1,737 P/Km2
It has very little room for more growth, as it is already the 11th most densely populated country in the world and has less than 300 square kilometres of land. ->Maldives population growth from 1961 to 2022
More than half of the population is considered rural. The only relatively large settlement and urban area in the country is Male, the capital. The inhabitants of the Maldives live in villages on small islands in scattered atolls. Only about 20 of the islands have more than 1,000 inhabitants.

Natural Disasters !
✧
The nation is the flattest country on Earth, and it is made up of 99 percent water and 1 percent land, making it extremely vulnerable to natural hazards, including tsunamis, floods, intense winds and rising sea levels.Maldives is one of the lowest countries in the world. In recent years, many inhabited islands in the Maldives have experienced severe weather events such as strong winds, flooding, rough seas, and storm surges resulting in severe beach erosion hazards and coastal infrastructure damage.
Climate & Climate change !
✧
The Maldives has two distinct seasons. The southwest monsoon (wet-season) normally extends from mid-May to November. The northeast monsoon (dry-season) extends from January to March.The average annual temperature varies from 24 to 33 °C. The temperature is constantly high and rarely falls below 25 °C
According to National Geographic, we can expect the oceans to rise between 0.8 and 2 meters by 2100. It is predicted that approximately 77% of Maldives’ land area will be underwater by then as the average height of this country of coral beaches is around 4 feet above sea level, and the highest point in the entire nation is just about 2.4 meters.
The Maldives floating city is under construction to cope with rising sea levels.
