economically
The economic problems caused by the collapse of the fishing industry affected the Faroe Islands in the 1990's, which brought high unemployment rates from 10 to 15% by the mid-1990's. Unemployment fell in the 1990's down to about 6% at the end of 1998. By June 2008 unemployment had fallen to 1.1%, before rising to 3.4% in early 2009. In December 2014 the unemployment rate was 3.2%. However, the almost total dependence on fishing and fish farming means that the economy is still at risk. Oil has been found near the Faroe Islands giving hope to deposits in the vicinity, which may provide the foundations for a sustainable economic prosperity. 13% of the Faroese' national income comes through economic aid from Denmark. This corresponds to approximately 5% of the GDP.

demographics
The majority of the population is of Faroese ethnicity, of Norse and Scottish descent. Recent DNA analyzes have revealed that the Y chromosomes trace the ancestry of males, who make up 87% of the Scandinavians. Studies show that DNA follows female ancestry in about 84% of Scots. The fertility rate in the Faroe Islands is the highest in Europe. The fertility rate is 2.49 children per woman (in 2013 rates). The 2011 census shows that of approximately 48600 Faroese residents (17441 from private households in 2011), 43135 were born in the Faroe Islands, of whom 3597 were in either Denmark or Greenland, and 1614 were born outside the kingdom of Denmark.

Faroese are spoken in the entire region of the Faroese language as a first language. It is difficult to quantify the number of people who speak Faroese around the world, because many ethnically dysfunctional Faroese live in Denmark, and there are few who were born there and returned to the Faroes with their parents or adults.

culturally
Faroese culture has roots in Nordic culture, as the Faroe Islands have long been isolated from major cultural phases and movements that swept parts of Europe. This means that they have preserved a large part of their traditional culture. The language spoken is Faroese and is one of the three insular Scandinavian languages ​​that are descended from Old Norse. Faroe consists of 18 islands in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, northwest of Scotland and halfway between Iceland and Norway. The islands are autonomous territories of Denmark, although they aim politically for higher independence. The islands have a population of nearly 50000, with their own language and culture. The Faroe Islands is one of the beautiful islands that enjoys green areas, and there are rugged windswept areas. Most visitors come to the islands between early July and late August.

Industry
The primary industries in the Faroe Islands are the fishing industry, and the islands have one of the smallest independent economic entities in the world. The fishing industry accounts for more than 80% of the total export value of commodities, which are mainly processed fish products and fish farming. Tourism is the second largest industry, followed by woolen and other manufactured products. The unemployment rate in the Faroe Islands is very low. The Faroe Islands are trying to diversify their economy, but are divided on how to go about it.
