Until 1928 the population of the country increased because of the compulsory exodus of the Greeks from Asia Minor which followed the great military defeat of 1922. The mo st important population increase was noticed in the Greater Athens Area during the period 1920-28. Also in Macedonia which has shown la considerable density rate there was an increase from 30.9 to 40.5 inhabitants per square kilometer while Thrace showed a greater increase from 24.1 to 34.8 inhabitants per square kilometer.

In 1927 the population of Turkey was only 13.5 million, in 1965 it has reached 32 million, an increase of two and half times within forty years. This has occurred particularly in rural areas, causing a continuous city-wards migration on a large scale. This in turn raised the sizes as well as the numbers of cities. In 1955 there were only 17 cities with a population above 50.000, whereas by 1965 the figure was doubled. Parallel with this development the population of cities like Istanbul, Izmir, Adana, Samsun, Ankara and Konya to mention only a few, also grew three or four times larger, in some even more. In 1945 the population of Ankara was 226,712. The following five year interval censuses of 1950, 1955, 1960 and 1965 showed consecutive increases by 288, 536, 451, 650, 667 and 902, 118 respectively for each period. From 1955 to 1960 the city's population reached about a million, an increase of 450, 877.

Abstract: An important question for every individual is how he or she is to live suitably in their old age. The purpose of this study, apart from the collection and presentation of data on social security, is to examine the present system of old age benefits in Malta in the light of the social insurance objective of helping to replace earnings when they cease at the end of a working life. Social security for our purposes can be divided in to two sections, each acting independently, being National Insurance and Public Assistance. Before considering each of these provisions in detail it is important to have some understanding of the magnitude of the problem with which we are to deal.

It is a scientific tool which attempts to establish, from different economic standpoints, the relative efficiency of investments: The main aim of cost-benefit analysis is to act as a guide in the process of decision making. Essentially, in a macro-economic sense, it seeks to establish the costs or disadvantages, and the benefits or advantages, en- tailed by each of several alternative courses of action. Such courses of action could be different ways of channelling investment from government sources into productive sectors of the economy; or, as in the present con- text, the efficiency of a given mode of government investment carried out according to a specific blue-print of industrial development.
