The Valencian Community is one of those that present a loss of immigrants, despite the economic recovery, according to the latest Ivie report on " Stock and migratory flows of the foreign population" . Even so, the Comunitat is the fourth in the ranking of communities with the highest number of immigrants.
The impact of the economic crisis was initially reflected in the decrease in the arrival of foreigners, but the increase in departures became increasingly important, up to a maximum of 459,000 people in 2013. With the beginning Email Data of the recovery of the Spanish economy, he points out According to the report, a change in trend is recorded: departures fall by 25.8% between 2014 and 2016 and this allows the positive migratory balance of foreigners to be recovered and Spain to gain population for the first time in six years.
However, in 2017 the percentage of this group over the total population stood at 9.8%, still 19.6% lower than that reached in 2010, the year in which it recorded its maximum weight (12.2%). ).
The migration phenomenon experienced in Spain in recent years is of special relevance in a demographic context marked by low birth rates and the aging of the population. The years of economic prosperity were an important attraction for the entry of people of foreign nationality, who came to represent 12.2% of the total population.
However, with the economic crisis, inflows of foreigners are slowing down and outflows of foreigners are accelerating. These movements, together with the phenomenon of emigration of young Spaniards that is also exacerbated by the crisis, complicate the demographic balance in the country. In Spain, the influx of foreigners is mainly concentrated in the urban centers and coastal areas of Catalonia, Madrid, Valencia, Andalusia and the Canary Islands.
The economic crisis, recalls the Ivie , has affected all regions, with sharp drops in the arrival of people from other countries in 2009, greater than 30% in all cases. For its part, the departure of the foreign community in response to the crisis also had an important initial reaction in 2009, with increases ranging from 26% in Extremadura to 71% in the Basque Country. The peak was reached in 2013, the year in which 458,974 people left the country, 77% of which came from the five main CCs. AA. of immigration mentioned.
The economic recovery, which began in 2014, has abruptly stopped the departure of foreigners from all Spanish regions and has provided an incentive for their arrival. According to the latest available data referring to 2016, the entry of foreigners is growing in all autonomous communities. Furthermore, the flow of outflows is reduced, except in four regions where it is growing—Extremadura (31%), Andalusia (16%), and to a lesser extent C. Valenciana (1%) and Galicia (0.3%)—.
In 2016, in the country as a whole, the foreign population that emigrated decreased by 4.7% and that which immigrated grew by 21.4%.
Negative balance in the Valencian Community
The combination of the drop in the entry of foreigners to Spain and the increase in departures means that in 2009 the migratory balance became positive in all the CCs. AA. to a lower positive or negative balance (Catalonia, Valencian Country, Basque Country, Murcia and La Rioja). The migratory balance of the Spanish regions continues a decreasing trend until 2013, the lowest and negative point for all of them, except the Canary Islands. In fact, the latter is the only autonomy with a positive balance during the entire crisis period, while in Catalonia, Madrid, Valencia, the Basque Country, Murcia and Navarra there persists a greater departure of foreigners compared to entries during this entire stage. .
With the reactivation of the economy, the departure of foreigners stops in 2014, helping to recover the migratory balance that, although negative in most of the CCs. AA. and in the national total, it has the initial point of improvement in that year. In 2016, all CCs. AA., except Extremadura, have a positive immigration balance of foreigners. This situation means that Spain has for the first time since 2009 a population gain (87,422 people) supported by two consecutive years of positive immigration balance of foreigners (114,674 people in 2016) and despite the persistent fall in the Spanish population (-27,252 people).
The slight increase in the population living in Spain in 2017 (15,124 people) is explained by the slowdown in the fall of the foreign resident population and the increase in Spaniards. This brake on the fall of foreign residents is a consequence of the recovery of arrivals that exceed the volume of departures in the last two years. On
the other hand, the acquisition of Spanish nationality is one of the factors that influences the continued growth of Spaniards.
