SDM Urges Fair Pay and Stronger Support for Working Students

Apr 24 2025 Share

In early 2024, Studenti Demokristjani Maltin (SDM), a prominent Maltese student organisation, released a policy paper titled “Bridging Books & Paychecks”. This paper, grounded in a comprehensive student survey, sheds light on the financial challenges faced by students balancing academic responsibilities with employment.

The findings underscore that many students are compelled to seek part-time or full-time employment to support their education, often leading to increased stress and potential compromises in academic performance. This situation is exacerbated by Malta’s rising cost of living and wage pressures. A survey by the Malta Chamber of SMES revealed that 63% of businesses had to increase prices due to higher employee wages, with 44% citing employee shortages as a primary concern.

SDM’s policy paper advocates for enhanced financial support systems for students, including increased stipends and more flexible work-study arrangements. The organisation emphasises the need for policies that acknowledge the dual pressures of academic and financial commitments faced by students.
While the policy paper has sparked discussions among student bodies and educational institutions, governmental authorities have not officially responded. SDM continues to engage with stakeholders to promote reforms that address student financial well-being.
