On the 31st December, 1970, the popul ation of the Mal tese Islanns was estimaten to be 322,187, consisting of 153,920 males ann 168,267 females. Compared with the previous year, the total popul­ ation was down by 166, a negligible change well within the range of monthly passenger movements. 'DIe number of males was down by 858 while that of femal es was up by 692. These estimates are baserl on the 1967 Census figures, adjusterl for births, deaths ann passenger movements since census date.

Population G~owth:

Table 1 gives details of popuJation growth Slnce the turn of the century, as measuren at the seven Censuses heJrI during that time. On the 31st March, 1901, there were 186,389 persons resicling in these Isl ands. At the next Census, held ten years 1 ater, this figure had increasen to 213,473, dlat is, by 27,084, or 14.5 per cent.

The Census heJn on the 24th April, 1921 showen the effects of the first mass migration, organised by the Government, to solve the unemployment problems following the end of the First Worlrl War. ,\t this Census, there were 3,061 fewer males recornen than at the previous one. TIle number of females continuect to increase, but at a r enucen rate, so that the 2,950 anctitional females din not completely offset the rlecrease in the number of mal es. The net result was a small reduction of 111 in the total population.

Emigration was on a very low scale nuring the twenties and thirties and practical ly nil cluring the Seconct Worl n War. Birth rates were high cturing the same period, although the high infant mortality rate, especially during the War years, was an important check on popul­ ation growth. Nevertheless,between 1921 and the first post-war Census hel r! in 1948, the popul ation increasen by 92,629, that is by 43.5 per cent, within a generation which han suffered intense hardship and near­ starvation during the war.

Demographic developments after 1948 confirm the view that emigration anct a low birth-rate are the most significant checks on pop­ ul ation growtl,. The cteath- rate, confiner! as it is in modern times to early infancy anct old age, is of secondary importance. Between 1948 and 1957, there was an average yearly emigration rate of 6,630 persons. In spite of this, the population increased during this interval by 13,629. Because more males than females emig­ rate, most of the increase, that is 11,186 was in the number of females. The percentage increases were 6.7 for females and 1.6 for males.

Between 1957 and 1967, the high emigration rates during the four years inmediately preceding the last census, combined with the low birth rates of the sixties, resulted ~n a decline of 3,814 in the total population. This time the number of females decreased by more than that of males, the reductions being 2,173 and 1,641 respectively, al­ though the percentage decreases were 1.07 and 1.19 respectively, that is slightly lligher for males. TIle main reason was the 1 arge number of wi ves of non-~'laltese servicemen who 1eft the Isl and as a consequence of the rundown of British Defence establishments.

Table 5 gives details of fluctuations ~n population, by sex, at six-monthly intervals from 1951 to 1970. The highest population figure recorded was 329,763, consisting of 157,561 males and 172,202 females, on the 31st December, 1961.

There has. been a tendency for the popul ation to increase s~nce the last Census but the figures in the estimates include temporary res­ idents, such as tourists, an'; it is unl ikely that the number of perman­ ent residents has increased at all.

Age and Sex Structure:

Table 3 shows the distribution of dIe popul ation, by sex anrl age, as estimated for mid- year 1970, on the basis 0 f the 1967 Census.

The population structure at a given point in time is the net result of demographic history, that is the incirlence 0 f births, deaths and migration. It is nifficult to expl ain a particul ar age- sex con­ figuration due to the compl ex in ter- rel at ions between the inciclence of births, deaths, marriages and migration, not to mention exogenous events, such as economic development ann social change. In Malta, the main factors which have contributed to the present demographic structure were the high birth rates and high infant and child mortality rates up to the immediate post-war era and the high emigration rates and declining birth-rates of the post-war years.

Before the middle of this century, the population tended to assume a structure akin to a pyramid with a broan base due to a high

II .. '"I "- I g: "-, ,I , ] I ,, I , , i'! \ I ? $ '\

~ i'-... ~

"'" ~ \

--- ~

I I f I birtll rate, averaging some one an I ~ }.a] f times the death rate, and a death rate which, apart from the high incidence in the infant years, tended to increase with advancing age. Emigration tended to modify the pyramid by removing the young aduJ t popul ation ano, as a secondary effect, reducing the width of the base rlue to the consequent oec1 ine in the birth-rate. The post-war general faJl in mortality at all ages belo,', the,niddJe fifties aJso tended to reduce to a smaller extent, the gradient of the lower part of the pyramirl.

TIle upper part of the pyramid has also been modified to some extent by the influx of mainly elderly foreign residents, attracted to settle in Malta by tax concessions avail able since 1965. At the 1967 Census there were 903 non-Maltese residents, aged 60 years and over, present in these Islands. At the eno of 1970, the number of persons who had been given permission to settl e in Mal ta was 4,093. Even if one were to take into consideration tl·e high mortaJi ty rate among tt·is sector of the popul ation, it is cl ear that the arl.di tion of several hun­ dred persons each year to the older age-groups is bound to proouce a reduction of the graoient at the top of the pyramio, comparable to that at the bottan.

It oust be pointeo out that tIle popul ation estimates include visitors fran other countries. During 1970 there was a total inflow of 221,496 passengers ano an outflow of 223,424 so that, as can be seen from Table 7, an estimate for a particular day is likely to include a fluctuation of several hun.rreo persons depending on unpredictable var­ iations in passenger movements.

As-in most other European countries, the ageing of the popul­ ation 1n r,lalta is oue mainly to the decline in the birth rate ano to emigration, rather than to any drastic reduction in oeath rates. The icleal popul ation structure is one with an equal number of mal es and females in each age group and as large a proportion in the working ages, 15 to 64 years, as is consistent with the maintenance of a stable struc- ture. Cllanges in birth and emigration rates act as regul ators towards the attainment of the ideal structure but it is only emigration which can be a(tiusted quickly enough to meet changes in socio-economic cond­ i tions. However, emigration consisting mainl y of young adul t mal es can only provide short-term rel ief at the expense of creating long-term problems.

The population structure registered at the Census held on the 14th June, 1948, was characteristic of a rapidly growing population.

v Since then, the popuJ ation has aged considerabl y, as can be seen by COlll'" paring the various age-groups for the 1948 Census with the mid-year estimates for 1970.

The post-War baby boom was reflected in the exceptional size of the 0 - 4 year age- group at the 1948 Census. This group comprised, 23,882 males and 22,955 females. By 1970, it had practically been cut by hal f, cc:>fll)rising 12,793 males and 12,091 females.

The 5 - 9 year age group al so declined, but not so dramatical­ ly. Infant mortality and, to a lesser extent, child mortality were high during the war years and the 5 - 9 year group cOlJl>rised only 14,230 males and 14,124' females, in 1948. This group comprised 15,684 males and 14,668 femal es in 1970.

The 10 to 24 year age-group showed a sharp increase between the two years being compared. There were 41,915 males and 42,687 fem­ ales in this age-group -at the 1948 Census. By mid-1970, these numbers had increased to 50,337 males and 51,478 ,females respectively. The low emigration rate of recent years and the low 'infant mortality rate and high birth-rates that prevailed for some years after 1948 account for the considerabl e increase in numbers.

Beyond 25 years, the effect of post-war emigration is reflect­ ed in the lack of symmetry in the 1970 structure as compared with that for 1948. There were 70,314 males and 75,328 females, aged 25 years and over, at the 1948 Census. These figures gave a ratio of 1,071 females for every 1,000 males. The mid-year estimate for 1970 showed 77,039 males and 91,479 females in the same age-range, gi.vin~ a ratio of 1,187 females for every 1,000 males.

The ageing of the population 1S shown by the fact that, in 1948, only 4.7 per cent of the males and 5.7 per cent of the females were aged 65 years and ove11' as compared wi th 8.3 per cent and 9.6 per cent· respecti vel y in 1970.

PopuLation P~ojections:

Tables 8 and 9 g1Ve estimates of the future population of the, Maltese Islands for the years 1972 to 1976, 1978 and 1980. The estim­ ates iD Table 8 assume that there will be no emigration during the period covered by the projections. Tabl e 9 is based on the more real­ istic assumption that emigration will amount to 2,800 per annum in the years 1971 to 1975 and 2,500 per annum from 1976 onwards. ~sUrnmary of projected changes between 1970 and 1980, as shown 1n tables 8 and 9, is given below:

If there were no emigration the population would increase to 344,800, that is by 7 per cent, during the ten years up to 1980. With emigration at the anticipated levels, the population wi]] decline to 314,900, that is by 2.3 per cent.

As regards the age-structure, the main effect of emigration will be the difference between the anticipated proportions of persons aged 15 to 59 years under the two assulT{ltiops, that is, between 63.8 per cent and 62.7 per cent of the 1980 population, and the difference in the proportions of persons aged 60 years and over, that is, between 12.8 and 13.8 per cent of the 1980 population. Apart from the effect of emig­ ration, the proportion of children aged 5 - 14 years is expected to decline from 20 per cent of the total popul ation to about 15 per cent by 1980. The reason for this ded ine is the fall in the birth rate re- corded during the sixties.

vii Chapter 2 - B I R T H S the Number and Rate of Births:

The total number of live-births recorded during 1970 was 5,314, that is 318 more than during 1969. The crude birth rate, after having fallen in 1969 to the lowest level ever recorded, that is 15.8 per 1,000, rose to 16.3 per 1.000, in~1970. The rise was noticeable both in Mal ta proper and in Gow.

As can be seen from Tab] e 10, both the number of births and the birth-rate have declined sharply during the past twenty years. In 1951, there were 4.811 births of males and 4,700 of females, giving a crude birth-rate of 30.4 per 1,000 population. In 1970, the corres­ ponding figures were down by almost one half, the number of male births being 2.782 and that of females 2,532.

Although the crude birth-rate declined almost continuously during the period under review, the greatest decline took place between 1960 ahd 1966. In 1960. there were 4,454 male and 4,111 female births. giving a crude birth-rate of 26.1 per 1,000. These figures show a decl ine of 16.7 per. cent in the total number of births and 20.7 per cent in the crude birth-rate during the preceding decade. In 1966'.' the num­ ber of males born was 2,803 and that of females 2,537. giving a total of 5,340. The decline in the number of births. during the six years between 1960 and 1966 was thus 37.7 per cent. The crude birth-rate was 16.8 per 1,000 in 1966, that is 35.7 per cent below the figure for 1960.

The number of births depends upon the composi ti~ of the pop­ pulation and fertility of married couples. In 1960. the U.K. popul­ ation residing in Malta, consisting mainly of young couples in their most fertile years. accounted for 1.381 live-births. that is 16.1 per cent of the total. The rundown of the Sri tish Forces and the departure of many service families resulted in a reduction to about one half of this number by 1966. Emigration of Maltese nationals. also consisting mainly of young people in their most fertile years. was also particul­ ar1 y. heavy during the years 1963 to 1965.

The future trend for the birth-rate. which is a very important element in population forecasts, is difficult to predict since it de­ pends on the population structure, which is affected by emigration. an~ on basic fertility rates, which may not show a constant trend. There is considerable evidence. especially from the family size survey held in

vIII 1961, showing that S1nce 1914 there has been a definite trend for the fertility of the average Maltese married couple to decline. This tend­ ency is in line with that shown by other countries emerging from a state of under development since the demands of an urbanised,

Specific birth ~ates:

The denominator of the crude birth-rate is the total popul­ ation and thus includes those sectors of the population that contribute nothing to the flow of births. A mo~e significant measure is the num­ ber of births per 1,000 married women at the child-bearing ages, that 1S, 15 to 44 years.

Information on marital status of the population is available only at census date since no population register is kept in Malta. In 1967, when the last Census was held, the number of live-births per 1,000 marrier! women aged 15 to 44 years was found to be 153.9, which showed a sharp decline on the figures obtained at the two previous censuses, nameJy 245.7 in 1957 and 314.5 in 1948.

An analysis of births, by age of parents, 1S given 1fi Table 12. The modal age-group, that is the one showing the highest frequency for mothers during 1970,was the 20 to 24 year age-group, which accounted for 33.2 per cent of all births during the year, closely followed by the 25 to 29 year group, with 30.4 per cent of a]] births. The modal group for fathers was the 25 to 29 year group, which included 31.1 per cent of alJ births during the year.

Illegitimate births, which numbered 79 during 1970, accounted foronJy 1<.5 per cent of total births. The highest incidence was recorded among mothers aged 20 to 29 years, the number in this age-group being 44. The number of illegitimate births declines rapidly with 1n­ creasing age of mothers mainly because of the rapid reduction of l+e popul ation at risk.

TabJe B below gives a summary of the distribution of births by age of parents for the years 1960 and 1970. There were proportionally more birtLs at the younger ages during 1970 than during 1960.

Ix The number of births to teenage mothers made up 3.9 per cent of the total during 1960 and 4.3 per cent during 1970. Conversely, the contril::ution of women aged 40 years and over, to the total number of births, decreased from 4.5 to 3.3 per cent during the same period.

The women aged 20 to 24 years increased their share from 29.8 per cent during 1960 to 33.2 per cent during 1970. The 25 to 29 year group increased its share from 29.6 per cent to 30.4 per cent while older age-groups decreased theirs; from 36.7 per cent to 32.1 per cent.

Fathers tended to show a more even distribution by age than mothers, although there was the same tendency in 1970 for fathers to be younger than in 1960. Tnis is explained mainly by the relative higher age of bridegrooms at the time of marriage and, to a lesser extent, by the fact that male fertility declines more slowly with age than that of females. Fathers aged under 35 years accounted for 67.6 per cent of the total in 1Q60 and for 73.2 per cent in 1970.

MONTH

* There was a natural decrease during this month, deaths having exceeded births The tennency for parents to be younger is expJained partly by the fact that the main contributors to the flow of births, that is those recently married, did so at a younger age than their predecessors and partl y because the process of famil y fonnation tends to stop earHer l.ll married life than it used to do for earlier marriages. 1he decl ine l.ll emigration of young couples may also have played a part in the process.

Births and Confinements:

'Ie resul t of a confinement may be alive or still birth, either of 'Ahich may be single or multiple. Table 13 gives c:letails of the outcome of the confinements, occuring during 1967 to 1970, by age of 1Other.

During 1970, there was one case of triplets, all born alive. The birth of triplets lR a rare event. The last time triplets were recorded was in 1964 when two confinements resulting in triplets prod­ uced three live-births. The incidence of twins is faid y constant. In the four years, from 1967 to 1970, there were 192 maternities, that IS 0.92 per cent of a total of 20,944 resulting in the birth of twins.

In 1970, there were 45 maternities resulting in the birth of twins, l.ll­ eluding two with one still birth each. These accounted for 0.84 per cent of the total.

The relative frequency of plural births increases with the age of the mother. Table C below gives the incidence of plural births, by age of mother, for the years 1965 to 1970.

xiii C1lapter 3 - MAR R I AGE S

During 1970 there were 2,376 marriages, that 1S 192 more than Gozo 2aO, giving rates of 7.3 marriages per 1,000 population in Malta ann 7.8 per 1,000 in Gozo.

Tab] e 41 gives detail s of the marnages an.1 crune rates for Malta and Gozo for the years 1951 to InO. The number of marriages in the Maltese Islanrls did not fluctuate much from the average of about 2,000 per year recorderl. during this period. The rate had been rising steadily since 1966 and the number of marriages recorded in 1970 was the highest for the whol e period.

For a higher incidence of marriage one must go back to the years 1943 to 1945. The first offspring of these marriages were enter­ ing the peak marriageabl e ages .-luring the 1ate sixties so that the peal< recome.-l 20 to 24 years earlier tenoerl to repeat itself.

SPecific Marriage rates:

The most meaningful marr1age rates are t.hose speci fic for unmarrieo men and w9men classifierl by age-gr~lps an.-l socio-economic status. Data on these sectors of the popul ation are avail ahle only for Census years. Table D below gives the ratio of marriages rluring lQ70 to the population at risk at the 1967 Census. 'For these ratios to be meaningful it IIDst be assumed that the popul ation set-up did not change much between 1967 and 1970. This is not an unreasonable assumption to make for the short perio.-l between the two dates.

For mal es, the highest incidence, at 242.6 per 1,000, occurred among those aged 25 to 29 years. The incidence of teenage marriages was much higher for females, at 24.5 per 1. 000, than for mal es, at 4.5 per 1, 000. On the other hand, the incidence of marriage after the 29th birthday decJ ined much more rapidly for females than for males.

Another way of looking at marriages from the point of view of age of the participants is to consider the age distribution of brides and bridegrooms in any particul ar year. Table 42 gives rletail s of the age distributions for the years 1968 to 1970, as well as the previous marital condition of the participants. There were 14 widows and an equal number of widONers who marrier! during 1970. El even of the widow­ ers were aged 50 years anr! over while only 7 of the w:i!dows were of this age.

Table 'E', below, gives a sumnary of the age distributions of brides and bridegrooms during 1970 and 1960. Brides aged under 25 years made up 73.9 per cent of the total during 1970, as compared with 72.1 per cent during 1960. Bridegrooms in the same age-group accountecl for 53.6 per cent of the total cluring 1970 as compared with 51.1 per cent during 1960. While the most common age-group remained 20 to 24 years for boul brides and brodegrooms in 1970 as in 1960, there was a tendency for the spreacl of the age of marriage about the peak to con­ tract for both participants. especially for the brides. TIle proportion of participants agecl 30 years and over declined between 1960 and 1970. The proportion of brides in this category went clown from 10.1 per cent to 8.1 per cent while that of bridegrooms decreaserl from 20.1 per cent to 15.6 per cent.

Table 43 gives details of the pairing of age-groups of couples who marriel. during 1970. The most popul ar combination, with 793 cases, was for both participants to be aged 20 to 24 years. There were 440 marriages with the bride aged 20 to 24 years and the bridegroom 29 to 29 years, and 279 with the bride aged 15 to 19 years and the bridegroom 20 to 24 years. There were 1,096 marriages, that is 46.1 per cent of the total, between participants in the same age bracket. In 194 marriages, that is 8.2 per cent of the total, the bride was in a higher age-group than the bridegroom while the opposite situation held in 1,086 mar­ riages, that is 45.7 per cent of the total.

Table 44 g1ves a broa~ classification of bri~egrooms by age anrl socia-economic group. For both manual an:i non-manual occupations, the 20 to 24 year group was very popular although in the case of the manual workers this' group comprisert 909 out of 1,657, that is 55 per cent of persons in that category, while for the non-manual occupations, the correspmrting figures were 287 out of 719, that is only 40 per cent. N""on-manual workers tenrt to marry at a 1 ater age than manual ones. It al so appears that the higher the socia-economic group, the greater 1S the age at marriage since most men seem to prefer postponing marriage until they have attained some specific economic status, tley may have set thernsel yes.

Seasonal incidence:

Table 45 shows the distribution of marriages, by month and quarter, for tLe years 1956 to 1970. Marriages are usuall y cel ebrated at weekends or on public holirlays so that the incidence in a given month tenrls to vary wi th the number of these days in that month.

Church Jaw used to prohibit marriages during Lent and Arlvent anrt, until this prohibition was removed, there userl. to be fewer mar­ riages rturing March and December than the average for other months. In 1970, March was still the mmth with the fewest marriages in the year,

xvi i I that is only 110 as compared with a moothly average of 198. The second and third quarter of the year both showed a high incidence but the peak occurred in October, with 262 marriages, this being the month in which female teachers traditionally get married at the end of the long summer vacation with pay, attached to the jobs they are leaving.

'The highest rates were recorded for the Western P.egion and Gozo and Comino, that is 10.8 and 10.7 per 1,000 respectively. The Western Region is mainly an agricultural area with a declining popul­ ation and it includ~$ residential areas such as Lija and Balzan prefer­ red by retired people. The limited opportunites for development and employment in Gno have resul ted in an exo.-!us of the young and heal thier part of thf_ popul ation to Malta and abroad. As a resul t, the average age of the population in these areas is higher than for the rest of the Mal tese Islands.

On the other hand, the building boom in the suburbs comprised by the Olter I!arbour Region has resul ted in the influx of a large number of new foolilies from other areas. The population of this region has become relatively younger and the mortality, at 8.0 per 1,000, is the lowest for the r,laltese lsI ands.

Sex and age specific death-~ates:

Table 19 gives a detailed analysis of deaths, by sex and single years of age, occurring during 1970. There were 148 deaths of infants under one year of age, 86 being of males and 62 of females. The number of deaths of males exceeded that of females at all ages up to the early seventies when the increasing proportion of females in the population at risk more than made up for the higher male mortality.

Table F, below, gives the mortality rate, by sex, at different ages for the population in 1970. Mortality is high in the first few weeks of life as the new-born infant struggles to adapt itself to a hos­ tile environment. After the first four weeks of life, mortality dec­ ] ines rapid] y and beyond the first year right up to adul thood, the death rate remains negligible. After the thirtieth year of life, the deat.h rate begins climbing up a~din, slowly at first but-accelerating rapidly beyond middle age.

The mortality rate for males exceeds that of females at all ages. For the higher age- groups, enviromental factors invol ved in the more active and stressful life experiencerl. by mal es may provide a part­ ial explanation. However, special case studies in other countries indicate that females have an innate biological superiority in ability to survive as compared with men living under identical circumstances.

Table 20 gives selJarate mortality rates for males anrl. females, anal ysed by marital condi tion. Data on the population at risk, c] ass- fied by marital condition,is only available at'Census years. It 1S probable that the mortality of married persons, especially females, 1S less than of single persons, partly because marriage is selective 1n that unheal thy peopl e are more likel y to remain single and part] y be­ cause a stable home life has health advantages. During 1970, deaths of married women numbered about hal f those of married men whil e deaths of widows were nearly twice those of widowers. ihe main reason is that the number of widows in the total population is about three times that of widowers since in most marriages, the husband tends to predecease the wife, being usuaJJy older and suffering from higher male mortality.

Causes of death:

The main causes of death may be classified under two cate­ gories, namely, endogenous factors attributable to defects within the

Exogenous and enrIogenous factors tenfl to interact. Progress in combating endogenous factors depends mainly on natural sel­ ection and is a slow process taking place over many generations. On the other hanrI, preventive medicine has marie great advances in recent years in eliMinating fran the environment causes of diseases and death.

Table 24 gives the main causes of death and their incidence at var10us periods of life. The advances made in the control of infec- tious diseases is shown in the low mortality among infants and children who used to suffer most from these causes of death. Table 23 shows that infants are most likely to die fran congenital defects anrI birth injuries during the first week of life. Infections of the resporatory and digestive systems are mrnor causes of death during the first year of fife.

During 1970, accidents accounted for 28 of the 67 deaths occurring between the ages of 1 and 24 years. Diseases of the circul­ atory system and neoplasms begin to take their toll in the age-group from 25 to 44 years, accounting for 31 and 23 deaths respectively, out of a total of 97 deaths in this age range during 1970. Their incidence increases even further for older persons. During 1970, diseases of the circulatory system accounted for 1,445 deaths and neoplasms for 368, that is 52.4 and 13.4 per cent respectively, of all deaths occurring 1n the age-range of 45 years and over. The incidence of fatal diseases of the circulatory system increases steadily with age while that of neo­ plasms tends to level off after the 75th year of life.

Table G, below, gives the percentage distribution, of deaths, by cause and main age-groups, for the two sexes during 1970. Diseases of the circulatory system and diabetes, both of which show an incidence increasing with age, and diseases of early infancy were more important causes of death for females than for males.

Neoplasms and diseases of the respiratory system figured more prominentl y as causes of death among mal es than among females, probabl y because of the restriction of the smoking habit almost exclusively to men, especially in the older age-groups. Accidents were also more 1m­ port ant as causes of death among males as compared with females, at all age-groups. TI.e more active life led by males offers a partial explan­ 'ation but there are also psychological factors involved.

Since the turn of the century and especially since the end of the Second World War, emigration has been the most significant element, with the exception of the war years, in determining not only the over­ all size but also the age and sex structure of the Mal tese population.

A large number of emigrants, especially those who go to the Uti ted Kingdom, return to Mal ta after spending a number of years abroad. While figures for departures are probably accurate and complete, return­ ing emigrants are difficult to di$tinguish from other in-coming passen­ gers. The reason is that practically al lout-going emigrants report to the authorities for the purposes of obtaining passage assistance, work permits, etc., while returning emigrants generally do not have to do so'.

Table 'II' below compares the effect of long-term emigration with other passenger movements, for the years 1960 to 1970. In recent years, passenger movements tend to reflect the rising trend in the tour­ ist trade and the large positive hal ance includes a considerable propor­ tim of tourists on a temporary stay.

xxvii After 1964, the sma]] negative balance in the movement of passengers, other than registered emigrants, became a ] arge positive ooe. 'The large outward flow of other passengers in 1962 may be due to a considerable number of workers, affected by the run-down of British service establ ishments, emigrating to the United Kingdom, without seek­ ing G>vernment assistance. 'The figure may a1 so include a large number of dependents of service personnel.

Similarly, the large positive balance for years 1965 and 1966 may be due to a large 'back wash' of dissatisfied emigrants who formed part of the massive outflow during the years 1963 to 1965. During the later sixties, the emigration fJow declined rapidly due to improved ecooomic cooditioos in Malta and there was also an indeterminate influx of emigrants who had left in previous years and a smaller in-flow of foreigners taking up residence to benefit from fiscal and other innuce­ ments.

Di~ection of flow:

Table 31 shows the destinatioo of emigrants, and the number of those known to have returned, from 1935/36 up to 1970. 'The pre-war direction of flow was mainly to countries bordering the Mediterranean and to the United Kingdom. 'The U.S.A. and Australia were also popular with those who could afford to pay the passage to these distant, English speaking lands.

After the War, the Maltese G>vernment entered into agreements with Australia, the United Kingdom and ,canada for implementing a massive emigration programme to beat the unemployment which was envisaged as a consequence of the conversion of an economy based .almost entirely on defence to a ci viEan one. Australia figured prominent] y throughout the years, right up to 1970. Emigration ~o the U.S.A. declined sharply after 1953. when severe restrictions on immigration into that country were imposed by its government. Canada, in spite of its climate, pro­ vided an alternative for those who wanted to settle in North America. Emigratioo to the United Kingdom tended to form a coostant proportioo of total emigration throughout the years,but, because of the short distance involved, emigrants to this country. mostly single, young men seeking their first job, tended to return at the earliest opportunity.

'The total outflow during 1970 consisted of 2,696 persons, that is only 48 more than during the previous year. 'There were 1,469 going to Australia,64O to the Uni ted Kingdom, 332 to canada, 219 to the U. S.A. and 36 to other countries. Compared with the previous year, emigration

There were 317 returning el1ligrants cluring the year. At 1l.7 per cent of c1epartures, the proportion of returning emigrants was un­ usualJy higf,. The proportion of returness was smaJJ for Australia an'} very higfl for the Uni ted Kingdom. It was high for the U.S.A. ancl moe-!­ erate for Canada and other coun tries.

The net emigration figure for 1970 was 2,379, one of the low­ est on record (llring the post-war era, but not as low as d,at recorrlerl in 1957.

Emigration by sex, marital status and age:

Tabl e 33 gives detail s of the sex, age anrl rlestination of emigrants during 1970.

As usual, there was an excess of mal e emigrants over femal es. This held true for aJJ age-groups, with only minor exceptions for those agec1 10 to 14 years, 45 to 49 years ani! 55 years and over. The great­ est difference was for young peopl e seeking work, aged 15 to 24 years, there being 892 males as compared with onJy 479 females in this age­ range. The reversal of the sex-ratio for the higher age-group is due to the fact that persons in this group tend to be economical 1y inactive ani! are likely to include a much Jarger proportion of female dependants of former emigrants than maJe ones. The proportion of males OO1Ol1g emi­ grants was 58.6 per cent of the total, as compared with a corresponding proportion of 47.7 per cent of the total population.

There were 282 boys and 262 girls, aged under 15 years, among the emigrants. The smaJ] excess of boys over girl s is representative of the popu] ation at large, since children general ly emigrate with their families and there is no selective process making for an excess of one sex over another

Young men of working age and women of marriageable age, that is between 15 and 49 years, made up a much higher proportion of emig­ rants, that is 79 per cent and 71.6 per cent of the respective totals for each sex, as compared with corresponding figures of 49.2 per cent and 51.6 per cent respectively for the populat10n at large.

There was a tendency for young men to figure more prominently among emigrants to the Uni ted Kingdom whil e chil rlren and 01 der peopl e figured more arrong those going to the U.S.A •• reflecting the entry con­ ditions imposed upon emi.gr;;nts to this country.

xxxi Tahle 34 supplements the information in Table 32, by classify­ ing emigrants further by marital status. f\tring 1970, 4?9 of the males and 552 f~ales, that is 37.6 per cent and 67 per cent of the respective total s for emigrants of each sex. aged 15 years and over, were marrier). There were a] so .. 21 widows and 5 widowers.

Single men awl, ·to a lesser extent, single women figurer) pran­ inentJ y among emigrants to tIle Oni ted Kingdom, wliil e marrier) persons exceeded single adults, by a wide margin in tile case of females, among emigrants to the {l.S.A.

Emigration by occupation:

TIle few administrative, professional and managerial personnel represent­ eo among emigrants ten,led to prefer the United J(ingoom, follower! hy Canaoa and the 1l.S.A. as t!'eir new Ilome.

Tabl e 35 gives a sunrnary of the main socio-economic groups of emigrants, c1 assi fierl by age and sex. Aoministrati ve, professional ano managerial occupations at all level s maoe up I ess than 2 per cent of the total number of emigrants ano the wiele spreao of ages indicate,l the variety of reasons intlucing them to emigrate. On the otller Land, those of no gainful occupation accounteo for 51 per cent of the total and, apart from the chiloren, showed a distribution dec1ininl, rapioly with age. Sales, clerical ano non-manual persorial service workers made up 6.4 per cent of the total. Skilled workers, incluoing supervisory staff and manual personal service workers, formeo an irrportant elEment of the total emigration flow. TIley accounterl for 20.2 per cent of the total as compareo with 17.5 per cent for unskilleo, semi-skilled ano agricultural workers. As one moved down the socio-economic scale, ages tended to be somewhat lower but this is also a feature of the general population since it takes time, whether by promotion or study, to qua]­ i fy for a higher job.
