Resumen: Uno de los principales efectos de la crisis económica sobre los movimientos migratorios, ha sido el incremento de la emigración de población inmigrada y sus descendientes. Esta emigración agrupa movimientos de diferente índole: el retorno, la emigración de arrastre y la emigración a terceros países. El presente artículo aborda el estudio de la emigración desde España de la población marroquí comparada con las otras nacionalidades que mayor número de bajas han registrado. Para ello se han utilizado los microdatos correspondientes a las bajas producidas entre 2008 (primer año de la crisis) y 2011 (últimas disponibles) de las Estadísticas de Variaciones Residenciales elaboradas por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística, destacando sus limitaciones. Los principales resultados señalan que, aunque la emigración marroquí con 137.022 bajas registradas aparece como la más numerosa acorde con su peso, es de menor intensidad que otras si atendemos a las tasas de emigración, siendo especialmente significativo la casi completa inexistencia de población marroquí acogida a programas de retorno voluntario. Además de la juventud de sus protagonistas, se constata la emigración de arrastre de menores, sin que nada podamos aportar sobre su dimensión familiar. A partir del análisis territorial y temporal, es posible deducir la relación con el sector de actividad: que el número de salidas haya ido en descenso desde 2010, parecería explicar el impacto sobre la población ocupada en la construcción. Si bien el retorno propiamente dicho, como en las demás nacionalidades, es superior a cualquier otro tipo de movimiento, en el caso marroquí destaca la emigración a países terceros especialmente entre aquellos que han obtenido la nacionalidad española. El incremento de las nacionalizaciones hace que nos preguntemos si no nos hallamos frente a un fenómeno emergente: la movilidad intraeuropea protagonizada por migrantes y sus descendientes. Abstract: One of the main effects of the current economic crisis in Spain has been its impact on increased emigration of migrants and their descendants. This international migration gathers different types of population movement: return migration, family migration and emigration to third countries. This article deals with the study of emigration from Spain with a special emphasis on the Moroccan population compared to other leading emigration nationalities. For this purpose, micro data files from the Residential Variation Statistics of the National Statistics Institute have been used, which cover emigrations occurred between 2008 (starting year of the crisis) and 2011 (latest data available). The analysis of the data reveals some applications while showing some of its limitations. The main results highlight that the Moroccan emigration is the largest in absolute terms, although it is less intense compared to other groups if we consider emigration rates. Surprisingly, the results appear to be counterintuitive after comparing with the almost complete absence of Moroccans within the voluntary return programmes. In addition to the young profile of migrants, there is also evidence of family emigration, although due to data limitations we cannot reveal much about this dimension. The analysis of emigration at provincial level and over time allows the identification of known relationships between migrant settlements and dominant economic sectors (e.g. construction and agriculture), making particularly visible the decrease of Moroccan emigration since 2010 as a result of their over-representation in the construction sector. While return migration is common among all emigrants, in the case of Moroccan emigration there is also evidence about migration to third countries, particularly among those who have obtained the Spanish nationality. The latter makes wonder whether or not we might be dealing with an emerging phenomenon: intra-European migration by nationalised migrants and their descendants.

The topic of regularization of immigrants has occupied a position high on the agenda in Spain and elsewhere. In this paper, we contribute to this particular issue by providing an evaluative case study in Spain using administrative data from the Province of Barcelona from 2005 to 2009, which allows survival analysis, the follow-up of migrants' trajectories after regularization and the examination of the hazard of lapsing back into irregularity. Our analysis reveals critical differences on the effectiveness of two pathways to earned legalization in Spain as a policy: the 2005 Normalisation and the Settlement Program in full operation since 2006.

Aujourd'hui dépassés par les Latino-Américains, après avoir constitué le premier groupe national au sein de la population immigrée en Espagne, les Marocains ou leurs descendants vivant dans ce pays présentent une certaine tendance au départ. Une analyse statistique réalisée malgré les limites imposées par les données disponibles.

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

This edited volume brings together leading researchers from the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe to look at the processes leading to segregation and its implications. With a methodological focus, the book explores new methods and data sources that can offer fresh perspectives on segregation in different contexts. It considers how the spatial patterning of segregation might be best understood and measured, outlines some of the mechanisms that drive it, and discusses its possible social outcomes. Ultimately, it demonstrates that measurements and concepts of segregation must keep pace with a changing world. This volume will be essential reading for academics and practitioners in human geography, sociology, planning and public policy
