Unfortunately in Gozo there much more living irregularly. Everyone can see them around working mainly in a particular sector. Employees taking advantage from them, employing them on the job by job basis, no contract, no work permit, no insurance, etc. Some have are registered that they do a specific work with person A, and then they actually work with others persons/companies illegally.
