Scientific evidence as well as on-the-ground experience indicate that there are marked differences in the quality of life and wellbeing enjoyed by the members of society in Malta.

These differences are reflected in inequitable access to physical and mental health, income and employment, family and social interactions, knowledge and information technology, levels of education and skills, freedom of expression and engagement, leisure, environmental quality, and open spaces. Such inequalities may grow wider among future generations.

The Malta Foundation for the Wellbeing of Society believes that transformative action in these and other benchmarks of wellbeing are a matter of urgency, and it aims to narrow the gaps in these inequalities, by promoting wellbeing for all.
