Immigrant island country

Malta is a small island country in the middle of the Mediterranean, between Italy and the coast of North Africa. Its neighboring countries are Italy, Tunisia and Libya, and its transportation to Europe, Africa and the Middle East is very convenient.

Malta covers an area of only about 365,438+06 square kilometers. Judging from the map and actual geographical location, Malta belongs not to the European continent, but to the African continent. Theoretically, Malta should be a part of Africa.

However, due to many historical factors such as colonization, Malta was included in Europe. In fact, Malta is an island country in southern Europe and the smallest member of the European Union.

In any case, the African continent will exert a subtle influence on Malta. For example, this island country has 300 days of sunshine every year, severe drought, easy life for people and rich historical and archaeological treasures.

These natural and human environments seem to cover up the shadow of the African continent environment. However, unlike most African countries, Malta has a stable economy and attracts a large number of new immigrants to settle down every year.

The total population of Malta is about 500,000, including foreign residents who immigrated to Malta. In fact, the birth rate of Maltese aborigines is very low, and most of the newborns in Malta come from immigrant families.

And interestingly, many Maltese aborigines like to go to North America, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany or Britain and other developed countries in Europe and America to find jobs and development, and then return to China after retirement.

At the same time, residents from Britain, Germany, Italy, Greece and other European countries are constantly migrating to Malta.

These new immigrants also include a large number of Nordic retirees and British retirees. In addition, there are a considerable number of African and South African immigrant groups.

The reasons for attracting new immigrants are Malta's own good geographical advantages, relatively low cost of living, historical origin with Britain, low corporate tax in China, natural beauty on the island, historic buildings and warm Mediterranean climate all the year round.

Malta is not only a safe haven for high-net-worth people in the world, but also a springboard for African refugees to enter the European continent to work and earn money. Refugees can enter the Italian peninsula through Malta and thus move around the European continent.

Multi-ethnic integration has made Malta a country with diverse languages and cultures. The indigenous language and official language of the island are still Maltese, and local children need to learn Maltese at school.

The second official language is English, and almost 90% people can speak English. Italian is also very popular, as many as two-thirds of Maltese residents can speak Italian fluently, so there are a lot of English and Italian media here.

As long as you can master one of English, Maltese and Italian, you don't have to worry about communication in Malta.

But if a person who can only speak Chinese intends to live in Malta, it will be quite painful.

The country's religion is dominated by Catholicism, and 98% of Maltese are Catholics. This is a very conservative country.

Topless swimming and sunbathing are not allowed, abortion is illegal, and even divorce happens on 20 1 1. These are very different from what we know in Europe and America.

Malta is one of the best holiday destinations in Europe with its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. There are all kinds of outdoor pastimes in daily life in Malta.

Take a yacht, sail a sailboat, learn to dive, explore shipwrecks or enjoy the Mediterranean coral reefs. All these will make your trip to Malta full of fun.

In addition to the excitement brought by the beach and the sea, visitors can also visit cathedrals and works of art to learn about the historical story of this country.

Enjoy a reality show about guarding knights, watch the performance of ancient cannons, or explore the catacombs in Malta.

These things are beautiful, but after two or three months, they will feel bored and bored. It's like living in a prison floating at sea.

Because almost everyone in Malta is bilingual, the local middle school curriculum includes mathematics, Maltese, English, other foreign languages, physics, art, music and physical education.

There is almost no Chinese teaching in the school curriculum, which is not conducive to the growth of the descendants of China immigrants and their understanding of the history of Chinese civilization.

Moreover, language is the embodiment of human thinking. Being able to speak multiple languages does not mean that the bilingual or multilingual environment is proficient, compulsory and chaotic at the same time, which will seriously hinder the cultivation of children's thinking and will not have a standard sense of cultural identity.

Moreover, the famous local universities in Malta rank only about 600-800 in the world, which does not mean that the country's education has obvious advantages!

Generally speaking, the law and order in Malta is still very safe. Violence in Malta is quite rare, but pickpockets, purse snatchers, car thieves and knife robberies often occur.

There will also be riots in some popular nightlife places. In addition, fraud aimed at providing jobs is also rampant.

The roads in Malta are very crowded. For example, the road in Valletta, the capital of Malta, has many narrow ramps and the traffic is very fast. Therefore, traffic problems are also a major security risk in the country.

As a small country with almost no natural resources, Malta's economy is dominated by trade, tourism and financial services.

Unlike other Mediterranean countries, Malta is an arid country that is not suitable for growing crops, and its agricultural output is quite low.

Although the game industry and movie entertainment industry in Malta have developed rapidly in recent years, they cannot bring broad future and economic prospects to Malta.

In my opinion, as a small country without any natural resources and economic development prospects, traveling is enough. Married people with children really don't need to come here to develop.
