Impact of the crisis on migration in the Community of Madrid (2007–2013)

Abstract

One consequence of the economic crisis has been the modification of the country’s migratory model. Reducing the intensity of migration together with the emergence of negative migratory balances which results from external migration surpassing the influx of immigrants, spreads out to many of the country’s regions, including the Community of Madrid. This article deals with the study of Madrid’s case, having also been marked by a profound change in interprovincial migration and by a reduction in the process of peripheral metropolitan expansion in line with the reduction of residential internal migration, that has yielded the appearance of a new demographic model with little growth and less affected by the migratory factor.
