Since the 1970s the economy of the Maldives has developed rapidly. Life expectancy is about 74 years for men and 79 for women. More than one-fifth of the total population is under 15 years of age. The birth rate for the Maldives is somewhat higher than the world average, but the death rate is lower. Only about 20 of the islands have more than 1,000 inhabitants, and the southern islands are more densely populated than the northern ones. With the exception of those living in Male, the only relatively large settlement in the country, the inhabitants of the Maldives live in villages on small islands in scattered atolls. More than half of the population is considered rural.
