RETURN EMIGRATION IN SPAIN IN THE TWENTIES OF THE XXI CENTURY

ABSTRACT

Return emigration is a new issue in recent years. There are few works that specifically address the issue of return policies for Spanish emigrants and the attraction of global talent in our country. And those that exist are recent. There are no conclusive data on the number of emigrants and returnees. However, the existing situation in our country and in Europe has generated concern about dealing with the phenomenon of the return of Spanish citizens and its treatment from the point of view of the social and labor rights involved. In the present work we intend to analyze and reflect on the situation of Spanish workers who emigrated and later decide to return. In the analysis carried out, special attention is paid to the current situation caused by the health crisis (COVID-19). The different Plans that have been approved by the Authorities for the "promotion and easy return" of those Spaniards who plan to return are also analyzed. Likewise, mention is made of the Plans of some Autonomous Communities. © 2022 Caceres Theological Institute - Universidad Francisco de Vitoria - Universidad de Extremadura. All Rights Reserved.
