“…This result was expected due to the enormous effect of the Great Recession on the Spanish economy, which suffered a decrease in GDP, an increase in the unemployment rate, and a decline of real wages. The depth of the economic crisis caused a rise in international emigration while internal movements declined (Melguizo & Royuela, 2017).…”

The aim of this article is to contribute to the analysis of the causes of rural depopulation and, particularly, the role of infrastructures. We build a panel data set with the 78 municipalities of a region in Northern Spain, Asturias. We estimate an econometric model where rural population is explained by a set of economic and infrastructure variables as well as some characteristics of the municipalities. The main results show the importance of infrastructures to maintain rural population. The presence of a medium–size town in the municipality helps to fix the population in the countryside. However, the income gap with urban municipalities contributes to reduce rural population.

“…According to the city council's estimates, while foreign residents accounted for 3.5% of all residents in 2000, this figure reached 18.1% in 2009. After that year, the economic crisis decelerated the arrival of foreign population to the city (Melguizo and Royuela, 2017), and in 2016, 16.6% of the city's population were foreign, 23% had been born abroad (including foreign-born people who had obtained Spanish citizenship) and around 30% had a foreign background (OECD, 2018b).…”

This article examines the dynamics of the relationship between residential and school segregation in Barcelona. The analysis explores which educational and non-educational drivers foster the school segregation of foreign students between the city’s neighbourhoods. The article also analyses to what extent the particularities of Barcelona’s admissions policy, which combines catchment areas with high levels of school choice, generate specific mechanisms of contextually bound school segregation within the local education market. The results confirm that residential segregation and educational segregation are two interrelated phenomena in Barcelona. In addition, the supply of publicly subsidised private schooling in the neighbourhoods is a main factor driving both educational segregation and isolation, especially in those neighbourhoods with a high concentration of foreign pupils. Based on the results, the article elaborates on the challenges for local education policymaking to address the dynamics of school segregation in urban spaces.
