• In Spain, there are already 49.5 million people living and, for the first time, up to 10 million of them were born in other countries.
• Immigration has served to improve the economy and offset the aging of the population.
• Since 2020, immigrants contribute decisively to the labor market, generating a positive balance in the employment rate.
• The relief provided by immigration is temporary and should not bypass the need for structural reforms.
• Managing large migratory flows poses challenges that the current government has not assumed.

Conclusion: It is necessary to tackle these migratory challenges head-on to prevent social problems and the proliferation of populist or anti-political speeches.
