“…In the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries, Spanish population size and composition, as well as that of other Mediterranean countries, have been deeply transformed due to the arrival of millions of foreign immigrants. Over the last years, Spain, previously one of the EU countries with the lowest foreign share (1.6% in 1998, Eurostat data), has received the biggest immigration flows within Europe (Ribas‐Mateos 2004; Domingo & Gil‐Alonso 2007), and is presently leading this indicator. According to the most recent padrón (local register) data, on 1 January 2010, foreign residents represented a 12.2 per cent 1 of the total population or, in other words, there were 5,747,734 foreign citizens.…”

This last decade, main Spanish urban areas have received large amounts of international immigrants, modifying (sub)urban dynamics. The paper specifically explores the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona (RMB), where, between 1998 and 2009, foreign nationality residents rose from 1.8 to 14.9% of total population. Research focuses on the impact of foreign immigration on three specific dynamics: population growth and distribution/segregation of both Spanish and foreign populations within the metropolitan area; their respective residential mobility patterns; and consequences on their age and sex structure. Results show that there are remarkable differences between the two populations: foreign immigrants have preferably settled in the core city's least affluent neighbourhoods and, in a second phase, in inner ring municipalities, while the Spanish population continues to move to suburban municipalities.

“…There is some evidence on occupational segregation of immigrants in Spain, according to which immigrants are inserted in low-skilled and low-paid jobs (Domingo and Gil-Alonso 2007;Fernández and Ortega 2008;Rodríguez-Planas 2012;Stanek and Veira 2012). Labour market integration patterns are very different between male and female immigrants (Vidal et al 2009;Del Río and Alonso-Villar 2012;Grande and del Rey 2012).…”

The objective of this paper is to analyse occupational mobility among immigrants in Spain in two distinct stages: (1) comparing the immigrants' first job in Spain with their profession in the country of origin and (2) comparing their current occupational status with the occupational status of the first job they held in Spain. We focus on immigrants who arrived in Spain during the ''immigration boom'' that took place between 1997 and 2007, using data from the 2007 National Survey on Immigration. For our analysis, we use occupational mobility tables and multi-variable models with occupational mobility as a dependent variable. Our results show that we can better understand the initial access of migrants to the Spanish labour market from the perspective of labour market segregation: for each gender, a particular sector/occupational level (construction and cleaning, respectively) played such a dominant role that it determined almost entirely the observed mobility pattern. We find some (upward) mobility opportunities after such initial strong segregation, which increased with length of residence; however, our results suggest that, even in this case, it is mostly limited to men and associated with the construction boom that finished abruptly in 2007.

“…For instance, these international flows, mostly from central and eastern Europe and non-European developing countries, had been particularly strong in highly segregated labor markets e.g. in France, Spain and Italy (Domingo & Gil-Alonso, 2007;. They were inclined to settle in core cities, predominantly in lowquality neighborhoods Bayona & López-Gay, 2011), since central areas offer more work opportunities, better public transport, cheaper housing and easier networking among different immigrants (Champion, 2001;Buzar et al;Gil-Alonso et al, 2016).…”

A complex interplay among socioeconomic transformations and the underlying demographic trends has occurred along the long-term development of European countries. For instance, fertility plays a key role along the urban-rural gradient contributing to understand population patterns and processes and allowing identification of factors, drivers and consequences of demographic transitions. This contribution focuses on the relationship between urban growth and demographic transition, discussing whether discontinuous and dispersed urban expansion can be associated with a specific phase of demographic transition, especially a higher suburban fertility compared with urban and rural areas. A review of the 'suburban fertility hypothesis' based on earlier studies carried out in advanced economies, with a specific focus on Europe, indicates that urban sprawl is associated to younger and larger families whose childbearing behaviors determine positive feedbacks in terms of local fertility and demographic dynamics at large, with spatial heterogeneity across European regions and countries.Sažetak: Tokom dugoročnog razvoja evropskih zemalja došlo je do složene međuzavisnosti između socio-ekonomskih promena i osnovnih demografskih trendova. Na primer, plodnost ima ključnu ulogu u urbano-ruralnom gradijentu, doprinoseći razumevanju populacionih obrazaca i procesa tako što omogućava identifikaciju faktora, pokretača i posledica demografskih tranzicija. Ovaj rad se fokusira na odnos između urbanog rasta i demografske tranzicije, raspravljajući o tome može li se diskontinuirana i raspršena urbana ekspanzija povezati sa specifičnom fazom demografske tranzicije, naročito sa visokim vrednostima suburbanog fertiliteta u poređenju sa urbanim i ruralnim oblastima. Peispitivanje "hipoteze o suburbanoj (prigradskoj) plodnosti" zasnovane na ranijim studijama koje su sprovedene u naprednim ekonomijama, sa posebnim fokusom na Evropu, ukazuje da je urbano širenje povezano sa mlađim i većim porodicama čija dečja reproduktivna ponašanja determinišu pozitivne efekte lokalnog fertiliteta i demografske dinamike uopšte, s prostornom heterogenošću širom evropskih regiona i zemalja.
