P. Abstract: 'What is produced is distributed in the process of production' is a simple economic statement implying, as often happens, complex connotations. For, the interrelationship between the production and the distribution of a given output is only crudely understood in economic theory. In addition, ideological conflicts regarding asset ownership, income distribution and wealth accumulation render an understanding of the production - distribution relationship more difficult still to achieve. A recurring socio-political concensus, effected through Government policies, becomes therefore essential for the attainment of a series of partial solutions through time.

Den Abstract: Development plans are usually characterised by a strong emphasis on the economic aspects of development. This explains or is at least one of the reasons why development plans are sometimes heavily criticised. But economic aspects can only be emphasized or maybe overemphasized but not dealt with in a separate manner. Although it is true that the economic, social and political aspects of development can be distinguished for analytical convenience, they can never be divided from each other. It is the purpose of this article to evaluate the broad economic, social and political strategy of the Development Plan for Malta 1973-1980, further to be referred to as the Plan. The objectives and policies of the Plan will be investigated without going into the specific and detailed aspects. It will rather concentrate upon the interdependence of the objectives and policies and how the Plan arrives at a deliberate and consistent strategy.

Given this definition, women may be classified as a disadvantaged group in the Maltese labour force on the basis of wages, and occupational distribution. (No effort will be made to compare unemployment data for Maltese men and women. The data do not include a good indication of how many people actually want jobs, and therefore they are not very useful for analytical purposes).
