Youth unemployment or underemployment is particularly high, at 67 per cent for those aged 15–24—more than double the rate of the broader Kiribati population (Census 2015). p. 26

A high population and growth rate on South Tarawa in the Gilbert Group (50,182 inhabitants with a population density of 3,184 persons per square kilometre) as well as on Kiritimati in the Line Islands Group (10,503 inhabitants) (GoK, 2015), which is due to: a high relative proportion of children and youth; high levels of fertility; low rates of contraceptive use; and disparities between the different islands of Kiribati (resulting in internal migration, displacement, and urbanisation) (GoK, 2012c; KNSO, 2015). p. 44

Sensitivity and impacts - agriculture and food security. Sensitivity: Urban migration p. 56

1) In alignment with the national programme of school upgrades, retrofit school infrastructure where required to withstand extreme weather events (climate proofing) and relocate if required. p. 137
