Abstract: Maltese prehistory ,consists of a very long stretch of time, longer
than the stretch of our written history.
The main contributors in this field have been Sir Temi Zammit who
first worked out a coherent picture of its real significance, John D. Evans
who gave it a firm scientific basis and put up the Archaeological Section
of our Museum, and David Trump who gave it the definite framework
that we now have. This article tries to describe the different phases of Maltese prehistory according to the three main epochs and their different periods.1982-01-01T00:00:00ZModern emigration from Malta : a liability?/library/oar/handle/123456789/208612017-08-02T01:25:54Z1982-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Modern emigration from Malta : a liability?
Abstract: In this paper we are limiting our arguments to what may be
termed the 'indirect' contribution of emigration; we analyse the situation
in terms of the population growth, the manpower and capital needs
that emigration helped reduce. But no reference is made to the direct
positive contribution of emigration on income and wages through the
avoidance of wage-wars in the labour market, and the capital-labour
relationships in production which emerged as a result of the wage
structure that developed. These 'Positive contributions of emigration
may be profitably discussed in a future paper.
The 'present study first submits a brief comment on the skill of
Maltese emigrants and constructs the behavioural characteristics of the
"representative" emigrant. The contribution of emigration towards
population control, reduction of unemployment and the saving-up of
capital resources is then evaluated. A comment on the possibility of a
skill/brain drain tin the eighties concludes the paper.1982-01-01T00:00:00Z
