Axys Reports Employment Crisis, Discrimination & Nepotism

The organization Axys has highlighted that demographic shifts will significantly affect both the employment market and the social security system in Mauritius. With a rapidly aging population, it is projected that by 2038, nearly a quarter of the population will be over the age of 60.

The report emphasized the urgent need for policies and incentives that encourage older workers to remain in the labor force longer.

Additionally, promoting female employment could help alleviate the anticipated labor shortages.

Furthermore, the report stressed that tackling issues such as discrimination and nepotism in the labor market is essential for retaining skilled professionals in Mauritius.

By advancing merit-based hiring practices and creating more opportunities for young people, Mauritius can mitigate the outflow of human capital to international markets.

This approach not only strengthens the local workforce but also enhances the overall economic stability of the nation.
