Fiji is an island nation in the South Pacific. Its population
consists of 56.8% Fijians, 37.5% Indians and a minority
of other Pacific islanders, Chinese and Europeans.1
The
country has a slow population growth rate because of relatively
low levels of fertility and a high level of emigration. Fiji is one of
the most developed of the Pacific island economies, although
its volatile political situation may have had some adverse
impact on the economy. Fiji also has a good standard of health
and fares well among the other Pacific island nations
