The economic crisis that broke off in 2008 in Europe had a devastating impact on southern countries, such as
Spain. Amongst those most affected have been migrant families. The Latin American migrant community in
Spain, which had been growing and becoming more established since the 1990s, has been impacted by the
crisis with integration processes being reassessed or even reversed. To help cope with this situation, migrant
families and individuals have implemented diverse strategies, which include staying up, returning and the remigration
of individuals and families, with often differences in approach and consequences according to gender,
age, migrant status, etc. These strategies are also informed by, and have consequences for, other
socioeconomic issues such as the sending of remittances or the ‘separation’ and ‘reuniting’ of families. The
following paper explores this based on primary research conducted by the authors in host and home countries.
La salida de inmigrantes en contextos de declive económico. ¿Cambia la autoselección durante
fases recesivas?

En este artículo se estudian los flujos de salida de la población de origen extranjero residente en España. En
concreto, se analizan las variaciones en la probabilidad de emigrar y de la intensidad de la autoselección en
distintas fases del ciclo económico. Para ello se estiman modelos de análisis de supervivencia a partir de datos
de la Encuesta de Población Activa entre 2005 y 2010. Los resultados muestran, por una parte, un aumento de
la probabilidad de emigrar desde el inicio de la recesión. Por otra, que la probabilidad de salir es mayor entre
los inmigrantes con peores resultados laborales y menos recursos formativos, tal y como sugiere la economía
neoclásica. Sin embargo, el efecto del desempleo y del déficit en capital humano es menor desde 2008. Es
decir, durante la recesión la autoselección negativa se suaviza en comparación con el periodo expansivo de la
economía.

Explanations of why migrants return to their origin countries tend to focus on factors at micro and macro levels:
from seeing it as individual choice (e.g. neoclassical economics) or household strategy (e.g. new economics of
labor migration), to seeing it determined by structural conditions of receiving/origin countries (e.g. economic
cycles). A growing line of research looks specifically at what states do to encourage migrants to return. We
contribute to it by analyzing return policies as one kind of economic policies geared to emigrants. Using an
original dataset for all LAC countries, we propose an elaborate set of policy indicators which enables
highlighting the strategic choices that countries make. Our proposal provides substance and accuracy to causal
links reputed to explain state intentionality (especially economic) in developing diaspora policies in general, and
helps qualify types of return policies (e.g. kinds of transfers stimulated to “bring back”, correlations with
migration corridors).

After a decade of emigration to Spain, Latin Americans were faced to one of the largest recession in the history
of the Spanish economy. As a result, there changes in the mobility of this origin population were observed after
2008. First, a decline in arrivals, second, an increase in departures, including returns and re-emigration to a
third country, and last, a stagnation of internal mobility. This paper assesses who moves, what is the preferred
kind or move (internal or international), and which individual and context characteristics relates to a particular
move. Data on Spanish Migration Statistics and Population Register is used to estimate migration rates by sex,
age, citizenship, country of birth and province of origin. The multivariate analysis of probabilities of leaving,
before and after the crisis, supposes additional data on employment, activity and demographics by provinces,
which was derived from the Spanish Labor Force Surveys.
