Dig five layers into this story — from what happened to the full picture.
L1What happened

L2Who’s affected
Who's affected: About 229,000 young people in Fiji covered by the study; businesses reporting internet disruptions in the survey sample.
L3Why it’s quiet
Coverage origins: One Ayre Think Tank index launched at CHOGM; Fiji Times, FBC News, and PINA are separate reports of the same study, not independent rankings.
L4Deeper impact
Deeper impact: High enthusiasm scores sit beside weak digital-capability and training scores, pointing to skills and infrastructure gaps.
L5Full context
Full context: The US$90 million, US$43 million, and US$136 million GDP figures are the study’s moderate, conservative, and optimistic ten-year scenarios.
