The fisheries economic productivity has not increased in last ten
years. This sector provided 26 percent employment to the people in
the coastal and inland areas. But the jobs are seasonal due the
rainy pattern. 24 percent of youth and 31 percent of female
population is suffering without jobs in the coastal and inland
areas. Fisheries sector is not considered as a job avenue for the
youth. They expect an industrial growth and modern jobs in that
sector but no modern job skills developed to suit the fisheries
industrial growth. Due to tsunami (9/2004) almost all the
fisheries industries have collapsed. |
