This book provides a unique, timely and comprehensive insight into
Latin American immigrants in Spain. Each chapter uses a demographic
framework to examining important topics related to the experiences
of Latin American immigrants in Spain, like their rapid acquisition
of nationality, their contrasting patterns of migration and
settlement compared to other immigrant groups, their labour market
experiences before and during the economic recession, their
reproductive behaviour before and after settling in Spain, as well
as the push and pull factors of what is regarded as one of the
single biggest waves of international migration ever experienced by
Spain. Beyond the investigation of such pertinent topics, this book
addresses issues relating to the adequacy of demographic theory in
explaining the presence of Latin American immigrants in Spain,
particularly the trailblazing presence of women among the
immigrants. Spain unquestionably constitutes a good example of the
fact that the future of demographic growth in post-transitional
countries is mainly and irreversibly marked by the evolution of
migratory movements, while the latter factor is closely linked with
the economic state of affairs. In the short term at least, the
causal relations go from economy to demography. In the long term,
if economic growth is linked with demographic growth as some
economists hypothesise, this would also be fundamental, not only in
the sense of growth itself but also with regard to how this might
be distributed.
