Saaremaas population

There are about 35 000 inhabitants in Saaremaa, proportionally big part of them are older inhabitants, because young people tend to move away from Saaremaa to gain better studying and working possibilities (most of them to mainland, some of them also abroad).

Problems we face:
The main problem is the fact that there are not so many opportunities here - not so many university-colleges to attend or job-offers that offer good opportunities.
The local flights should have more destinations than only Tallinn, for example there could be also Tartu.
At these times we have a high unemployment percentage, the economy fall has closed many enterprises and holding down a job is not an option for everybody no more. It's hard to provide a solution to this problem as well as the economy is not jet back to its feet.

There could be more activities provided to Saaremaas youth, otherwise they will just hang in the shopping-malls having nothing to do.

The good things we appreciate about Saaremaa
We have a beautiful nature and a small and lovely city. There are many sights wort viewing and friendly people who hold together.
