Sayed-Khaiyum says it is critical to ensure Fiji’s responsiveness to the interest, demands, needs, and futures of those below the age of 40.

He adds about 65% of the Fijian population is below the age of 35 and over 70% is below the age of 40.

He says the people over the age of 40 are the minority and are only 30% and this is why it is critically important to be able to communicate.
