Transnational mobility strategies

Description

The Great Recession 2008-2014 and the covid-19 pandemic have shown the socio-structural problems of our society in the face of which a diversity of transnational mobility strategies have been activated, both for the native population and the immigrant population:

  • The emigration of young autochthonous people who left with the Great Recession and who, in general, respond to a qualified profile.
  • The re-emigration of the settled immigrant population with Spanish nationality to European or third countries.
  • The circular migration of seasonal agricultural workers in the Spanish countryside, especially from Eastern Europe and North Africa.
  • The processes of return of autochthonous emigrants.

We are interested in understanding the effects of the recent crises - of a rather structural nature - on these migratory dynamics, their characteristics and specificities, as well as the strategies used by these migrants in their processes of integration, permanence, circulation or return.
