“…During the consolidation of the migration process, a greater equilibrium between the sexes was achieved due to the arrival of more men through family reunification and the pull effect of the economy during the construction boom (which attracted male workers; Oso & Catarino, ). However, the arrival of the crisis had a severe impact on the construction sector, thus affecting male employment more (Gil‐Alonso & Vidal‐Coso, ). This is reflected in recent increases in the feminisation rate (reaching up to 58.5% among Colombians and 53% among Ecuadoreans from 2011, and up to 65% for Brazilians from 2010), which partly suggests that men are returning or remigrating in greater quantities than women.…”

The impact of the recent global financial and economic crisis on migration to Spain has generated literature focusing mainly on demographic and labour impacts. Internationally, economic crises have also been linked to the increased vulnerability of migrants and return migration. However, this article reveals a more complex picture of how the crisis is producing new (im)mobilities between Latin America and Europe.It adopts a transnational family approach based on qualitative fieldwork with Colombian, Ecuadorean, and Brazilian migrants. The article offers an analysis of their (im) mobility strategies framed by the socio-economic impact of the crisis in Spain.Strategies include various configurations of return and remigration as well as permanence in the host country, involving the whole family or some members. They are the consequence mainly of the economic situation but are also shaped by other "crises" related to migrant status and migratory projects as well as gender, intergenerational, and emotional factors.

“…These studies highlight not only the volume of immigration (Gozálvez, 2008), but also the speed and suddenness of the immigrants' arrival (Dumont, 2006); the lack of foresight and planning (Lopez, 2000); and the lack of a stable labour market, which would make it possible to adequately accommodate the immigrants and help them integrate. Also the settlement of immigrants in different areas has been analysed (Collantes et al, 2014;Gil-Alonso, Vidal-Coso, 2015).…”

For years, the Spanish population has been rapidly ageing, showing signs of atony and stagnation. Between 1996 and 2007, in a phase of economic growth, the entry of foreign immigrants drove a global increase in population. But after the economic recession migratory flows show negative net balances. Our objective is to explain and confirm the demographic regression suffered by Spain. We are also interested in showing how the recent and intense immigration process has failed to generate significant changes in natural demographic characteristics and trends. National censuses, published by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), are our main source of demographic data. The analysis of the most recent relevant scientific literature has allowed us to compare opinions and discuss results. The data confirm an uncertain and worrying future for the Spanish population.

“…Migrant workers who are primarily integrated into the lowest and hardest-hit segments of the labour market are often the first to lose their jobs (Cachón and Aysa-Lastra, 2015; Orrenius and Zavodny, 2009). Since the sectors in which most migrants are employed are not only differently hit by the economic crisis, but also largely segregated by gender, studies of the Spanish labour market highlight the special importance of a gender-oriented lens in the analysis (Gil-Alonso and Vidal-Coso, 2015; Muñoz, 2012; Oso and Catarino, 2013). They have brought to light how the unemployment caused by the crisis had a greater effect on male than on female migrant labour in Spain.…”

‘The Crisis Is Over? Maybe for the Rich, But Not for Us!’ Latin American Migrants’ Responses to the (Post-) Crisis Discourse in Spain

The term ‘crisis’ is usually defined in relation to the concept of normality, marking discontinuity or the break of linearity. The current post-crisis discourse in Spain follows this pattern, since indicators of economic recovery are used to argue the end of the crisis. This article explores how Latin American migrants have responded to this (post-)crisis discourse. The narratives of the interviewed migrants not only point to the gender-specific effects of the economic crisis, they also shed light on the more general question of what is meant if we speak of ‘crisis’ or ‘post-crisis’. From the migrants’ perspective, the crisis is not a simple economic fact, but a social construction that depends on the socio-economic position of social actors. The article concludes that by taking into account the gendered responses of the migrants, a nuanced and empirically grounded understanding of (post-)crisis emerges that can enrich sociological concepts ‘from the bottom up’.
