Immigration, Economic crisis, Spain, Return, UnemploymentAbstract
This paper aims to analyze the situation of immigrant labor in Spain over the last ten years, linking it to social and economic transformations, which the country has undergone since the mid-1990s, with emphasis on the scenario generated by the economic crisis that erupted at the end of 2008 and its impact on the situation of immigrants, the people who have been most deeply affected by the new economic and social setting resulting from the crisis. Faced with the situation in Spain, with a remarkable increase in unemployment and deterioration of social indicators, immigrants have been returning to their countries of origin after exhausting all alternative ways to remain in Spain. The development of this paper is based on data provided by the Instituto
Nacional de Estadística (INE - National Statistics Institute), of Spain, which used the Encuesta de Población Activa (EPA - Active Population Survey), in addition to data from Eurostat and the bibliographical references cited.
