Abstract

This paper deals with the changes in migration that have taken place recently in Spain. After joining the EC in 1986, the new socioeconomic and political standards of Spain have attracted many labor migrants from the Third World. African immigrants, 77% of whom are Moroccan, represent the largest segment among them. Africans find ready employment in commercial agriculture, construction, and services on the Iberian Peninsula. Besides, Latin America and Southeast Asia are sending greater and greater numbers of workers to Spain. Since the passing of the first Alien Law in 1985, Spanish legislation has been subjected to continuous reform. This has achieved three underlying goals: improvement of administrative procedures and the working conditions for immigrants, as well as the overcoming of many obstacles to their integration to society.
