Five basics stand between this country and zero
This older research pack has not yet received a direct five-part Money Gate audit. Its historical Reach/Friction evidence is compressed to a maximum transitional 4/20 so we do not invent free-access points that were never researched.
9% weightHuman Time & Burden Return
+41.6
Whether productivity, infrastructure and institutions return usable lifetime to people and families.
TBFC target: Necessary contribution should not require people to sell most of their waking life merely to retain access to food, shelter, care and ordinary family life.
Access-gate research question: How much paid work or income-producing activity is required before an ordinary household can keep access to basic life, and what usable family time remains afterward?
Abundance Gap: +12.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Employment is high relative to unemployment, but current official results retrieved here do not establish actual weekly hours, commuting time, unpaid care or avoidable administrative burden. Youth unemployment remains 18.4%.
Statistics Mauritius
8% weightHousing, Shelter & Housing Reach
+41.6
Whether adequate shelter physically exists and actually reaches people without excessive cost, exclusion or vacancy mismatch.
TBFC target: Adequate family shelter should remain reachable without lifetime dependence on rent, mortgage debt or ability to pay.
Access-gate research question: What share of ordinary shelter access depends on rent, mortgage debt, purchase price or other recurring payment, and what dependable non-market routes exist at national scale?
Abundance Gap: +12.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Mauritius has an active subsidised social-housing system. By June 2026, 27 of 35 NSLD sites were complete, representing 6,232 units, but only 223 families had received keys at that update, showing a gap between construction and occupied access.
Ministry of Housing and Lands, Mauritius
9% weightFood, Nourishment & Free Food Abundance
+41.6
Physical food and nutrient capacity, nourishment reach, waste/loss, public edible landscapes and free food access.
TBFC target: Nutritious food should exist in multiplying abundance and remain reachable even when a household has no money to spend.
Access-gate research question: Can people obtain adequate nutritious food when they cannot pay, and are free/public/productive-food routes large enough to be ordinary rather than exceptional?
Abundance Gap: +12.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Domestic food-crop production rose 11.6% to 189,372 tonnes in 2025, with substantial poultry and fish production, but Mauritius remains import-dependent: total imports rose and food/live-animal imports increased 6.2% in 2025.
Statistics Mauritius
6% weightWater & Sanitation Abundance
+35.5
Safe water, sanitation, reliability, capture, reuse, storage and living-landscape water capacity.
TBFC target: Safe water and sanitation should be dependable life infrastructure, not conditional on household purchasing power.
Access-gate research question: Can households retain safe water and sanitation when income falls, and which payment, disconnection or infrastructure barriers interrupt access?
Abundance Gap: +15.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Potable-water treatment reached 332.6 million m³ in 2025 despite rainfall falling 16.6%. This shows substantial treatment capacity, but the retrieved national source does not establish continuous household supply or safely managed service coverage.
Statistics Mauritius
5% weightEnergy & Household Capability
+49.3
Whether usable, reliable energy reaches households and removes burdens across water, food, health, cooling, cooking and movement.
TBFC target: Essential household energy should support cooking, cooling, water, food preservation and care without money becoming the switch that turns basic capability on or off.
Access-gate research question: Can households retain essential energy for cooking, cooling, water and food preservation when they cannot pay, and how often does price or disconnection reduce capability?
Abundance Gap: +10.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Electricity generation reached 3,551.6 GWh in 2025, but 82.2% was non-renewable and 90.8% of total primary energy requirement came from imported fuels.
Statistics Mauritius
7% weightHealth & Care Reach
+49.3
Whether prevention, primary care, medicine, maternity care, dentistry and specialist capability reach people when needed.
TBFC target: Prevention, maternity, dentistry, medicine and necessary treatment should be reachable because care is needed, not because payment can be produced.
Access-gate research question: Can necessary care be obtained because it is needed, or do price, insurance, employment, debt or other financial tests materially delay or prevent access?
Abundance Gap: +10.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Mauritius provides public healthcare at no end-user cost and says around 73% of the population uses the public system. The network includes community, area, district, regional and specialised hospitals.
Ministry of Health and Wellness, Mauritius
6% weightEducation & Human Capability
+49.3
Foundational learning plus practical, technical and enduring civilization capability retained by people.
TBFC target: Foundational learning and useful capability should be reachable as part of civilization life rather than purchased according to family income.
Access-gate research question: Which essential learning and capability routes are genuinely reachable regardless of family income, and where do fees, debt or paid enrichment create decisive access gaps?
Abundance Gap: +10.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Primary gross enrolment was 106.7% and secondary 74.3% in 2026. PSAC pass was 79.5%; SC pass fell to 69.3%.
Statistics Mauritius
4% weightMobility & Reachability
+41.6
Local, regional and national movement that connects people to family, services, work, learning and public life without consuming excessive time.
TBFC target: Ordinary local and regional movement should be available for family, care, learning and civic life without travel becoming a paywall.
Access-gate research question: Can ordinary people reach family, care, learning and public life without high recurring fares, vehicle costs, debt or fuel dependence?
Abundance Gap: +12.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Mauritius has a very large motor-vehicle fleet for its population. In 2025 there were 746,961 registered vehicles and 124 road fatalities.
Statistics Mauritius
8% weightFamily Formation, Continuity & Child Stability
Fertility agenda · target 5.0
Family continuity is measured partly by whether children are actually multiplying. New and re-reviewed profiles use total fertility as 40% of Family Formation: 2.1 births per woman is the replacement floor and earns positive but limited credit; the authored target is 5.0.
Read A Civilization Built for Mothers and Fathers
+35.5
Conditions that let people form stable families, raise children, share parental time and continue family life without punishing material barriers.
TBFC target: People should be able to form, continue and multiply family life. Trott Bailey Family Civilization uses 5.0 children per woman as the fertility target; 2.1 is the replacement floor, not the aspiration, while housing, care, food and time should not be withheld behind financial thresholds.
Access-gate research question: How strongly do housing, childcare, health, food and work-income requirements delay or destabilize family formation and continuity, and is total fertility moving above replacement toward the 5.0-children-per-woman civilization target?
Abundance Gap: +15.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Population declined 0.21% in 2025 while births rose modestly; 7,715 marriages were registered. Housing and free public health systems provide family-supporting capacity, but direct childcare/time-use evidence is incomplete.
Statistics Mauritius
5% weightLand Access & Spatial Freedom
+19.5
Whether land and settlement choice reach ordinary people rather than opportunity being functionally trapped inside expensive commercial centres.
TBFC target: Suitable productive land and settlement opportunity should not be functionally reserved for those able to outbid everyone else.
Access-gate research question: Can ordinary families gain secure use of suitable productive ground without first accumulating enough money to purchase, finance or outbid others?
Abundance Gap: +18.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
The 2024 Agriculture Census counted 24,145 agricultural holdings. Household farmers on Mauritius owned 44% of their farm area, with much of the remainder rented or government-leased. Academic satellite analysis finds built-up land doubled from 10% to 20% between 2002 and 2022 while agricultural/other vegetation fell.
Statistics Mauritius
6% weightPeace of Mind, Happiness, Beauty & Delight
+49.3
Peace of mind, social support, everyday safety, public beauty, recreation, nature, culture and delight reachable without constant payment.
TBFC target: Beauty, nature, recreation, rest and public delight should belong to ordinary life rather than appearing mainly after payment.
Access-gate research question: How much everyday rest, nature, recreation, culture and public beauty is freely reachable, rather than principally accessed through paid venues, travel or private property?
Abundance Gap: +10.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Mauritius has major beaches, national parks, endemic biodiversity and public recreation landscapes, including Black River Gorges. Pollution complaints and land conversion show pressure on everyday environmental quality.
Government of Mauritius
6% weightLiving Ground, Biodiversity & Resilience
+35.5
Whether soil, forests, wetlands, habitat, pollinators, species and water-holding landscapes are strengthening rather than being consumed.
TBFC target: Regenerating soil, water, habitat and food-bearing landscapes should be maintained as shared life-supporting capacity rather than only where a transaction makes them profitable.
Access-gate research question: Are regenerative land, water and habitat functions maintained as life-supporting infrastructure even when no direct commercial return is available?
Abundance Gap: +15.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Forest covers about 25% of Mauritius, but only about 2% is classified as good-quality native forest. Native-forest restoration area has risen strongly since 2010, while habitat loss and invasive species remain major constraints.
Mauritius Clearing-House Mechanism / Government of Mauritius
5% weightJustice, Safety & Institutional Friction
+49.3
Physical safety, usable justice, legal identity, reliable public administration and low needless institutional burden.
TBFC target: Usable justice, legal identity, safety and ordinary administration should remain accessible regardless of wealth.
Access-gate research question: Do fees, legal costs, bail, fines, documentation costs or ability to hire expertise materially change access to justice, safety or public administration?
Abundance Gap: +10.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
The 2025 intentional homicide rate was 2.7 per 100,000. Offences reported to police rose 1.0%; court disposals fell while lodged criminal cases rose. Re-offending among adult convicts admitted to prison was 74.4%.
Statistics Mauritius
4% weightDurability, Repair & Material Return
+35.5
Whether useful materials, infrastructure and goods are maintained, repairable, recovered and cycled instead of repeatedly becoming waste.
TBFC target: Repair, maintenance and useful material circulation should protect capability instead of forcing repeated repurchase as the default route to continued use.
Access-gate research question: Do repair and maintenance remain practically accessible, or do pricing, proprietary restrictions and replacement incentives turn continued use into repeated purchasing?
Abundance Gap: +15.0
Live-reviewed from the complete automation research package. Capacity, reach, friction and return/regeneration are scored separately; national monetary gatekeeping is applied only at the overall-score stage.
Verified evidence
Mauritius landfilled 582,798 tonnes of solid waste in 2025, 17% more than 2024. Waste accounted for 13.4% of GHG emissions. Current evidence does not show a high national circular-return rate.
Statistics MauritiusTrott Bailey Family Civilization Target
The end state: life beyond monetary gatekeeping
Trott Bailey Family Civilization treats money as an exchange tool rather than a prerequisite for access to life. The long-run abundance target is that food, water, shelter, care, education, mobility, land access and ordinary public life remain reachable even when a person cannot pay.
This target is an authored civilization standard. The diagnostic evidence score can now draw from all 16 weighted categories. The five-part Money Gate remains a separate domestic threshold asking whether food, housing/land, healthcare, transportation and water/energy are genuinely reachable without payment before any civilization can cross zero.
