This article talks about a decrease in Spain's population for the first time in over a decade. The reason for this fall in population was related to the recent economic crisis.The number fell by almost 216,000 all of them being registered foreign residents.This figure doesn't take into account the number of local residents who have left searching for work. The increasing unemployment levels and the bursting of the property bubble have been seen as the major contributes for this flee of foreigners from the country.
Eventhough there was an increase in the native spanish populationn by 10,000 but this doesnt ofset the fall of registered foreign residents. All of these reasons show how Spain no longer remains attractive because of loss of jobs and no jobs being available.

With Spain's bleak economic conditions, and similar problems for their Eurozone neighbors, a lot more Spaniards are shifting to Argentina. This is because these two nations have always looked to each other in times of crisis. There are no official figures on the number of nationals from Spain who have immigrated to Argentina, for example, in recent years, but officials at the Spanish Embassy in Buenos Aires have declared that it is on the rise. With such a high level of negativity regarding employment in Spain, how does the Spanish economy propose to get out of this 'slump'?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point, I'm interested in seeing what this does to the Argentinian economy and Spain's as well.
DeleteThat is an interesting point that Spaniards are starting to move to Argentina. I can see why foreign residents would move to Argentina because they speak the same language, their economy is a lot better and Buenos Aires is considered to be the city with the most European atmosphere and culture.
