The government on Wednesday presented a labour migration policy which, in the words of the Prime Minister, is aimed to regulate how workers from outside the European Union could enter the Maltese labour market.
Addressing the media, PM Robert Abela said that Malta's population is getting older, and there are 1,000 more people leaving employment than those finding a job each year.
This means that there are various sectors that need beefing up in terms of numbers, and as such Malta needs to "import" labourers to make up for the difference.
Malta has a strong economy, so much so that among the Maltese population there is full-employment. But there are then pockets where the number of Maltese workers available is not enough, and so this requires additional labourers who come from outside the European Union.'
