DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF LATIN AMERICAN IMMIGRAN...

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.
