Is it the immigration policy or is it tourism? I mean everyone in Europe wants to visit Spain at least once per year.
But yeah thanks to immigration it’s always possible to find an employee who will work for 1000-1500 euro per month, and there are a lot of people, from any age, just living renting rooms that will never be able to afford a home.

GDP has surged, but salaries increase below inflation, one of the reasons why this happens is that there will always be an immigrant wanting to do any job for 1200 € neto a month, so no pressure for companies to raise wages, also 3 million immigrants in 7 years while building less than 1 million homes means more demand for houses and increased prices, therefore spaniards are in a worse position than before. But of course Ashifa Kassam has a different agenda, I wonder why.

Spain has different inmigrations flows due to South America, trying to extrapolate globally would lead to errors.

It’s true. In Spain we are losing inhabitants. Receiving immigrants, training them and introducing them to an active work life is the remedy to remain competitive. By the way, they do not take jobs away from Spaniards. If you train yourself well, you will find work. The problem is that salaries are still very low.

At the beginning this strategy seems like rocket fuel for the economy. Then the economy gets hooked on cheap imported labour and businesses stop investing. Productivity and GDP per capita go down. Reference: UK

El artículo comienza con Madrid y Barcelona, la ciudad cuyas clases medias están más explotadas e incapaces de mantener el estatus empobreciéndose a pasos agigantados; pagando, incapaces de comprar vivienda o alquilar, a merced de inmigración que mantiene salarios bajos y la competición de expats y clases altas latinas que vienen con salarios que les duplican y ahorros para comprar en cash. Claro, y luego que si no nacen niños…
