“…In Italy, the number of people interested in onward migration is higher than Spain. Nevertheless, our findings do not allow us to conclude that Indians are making an instrumental use of citizenship, even though they point to a possible instrumental approach to citizenship acquisition: obtaining the citizenship of the country of residence also in order to move to other destinations, especially when the integration process and thus the sense of attachment to the host country appears fragmented and the transnational links within the diaspora quite strong, as in the case of the Indian community in both countries (Prieto et al 2018 ).…”

According to 2016 municipal register data, Italy has the highest number of Indians in continental Europe (151,000), followed by Spain (41,000). Mass immigration from India to Italy and Spain started in the 1990s, but economic and political environments more conducive to the entry and permanent settlement of immigrants have resulted in more rapid growth of the Indian immigrant community in Italy than Spain. Due to the unskilled and irregular nature of Indian immigration and the lack of integration policies for unskilled labour in both countries, the level of integration of Indian immigrants remains unexplored. In this research, we used a qualitative methodology to explore the integration level of Indian immigrants into different spheres of these host societies. We conducted 86 semi-structured interviews with Indian immigrants in seven cities with high concentration of Indian immigrants in both countries over 2016–2017. We found that the level of integration of Indian immigrants into the host societies is fragmented: some segments of the Indian community are integrated into specific spheres of the host societies, while the rest remain excluded. The main reasons for this fragmented integration are the absence of integration policies for unskilled immigrants, Indians’ provisional attitudes towards permanent settlement in these countries, the internal diversity of the Indian immigrant community and frequent international mobility through transnational networks.

“…Por otra parte, las migraciones de media y larga distancia de la población autóctona se incrementan, tanto las exteriores (Domingo y Sabater, 2013;Domingo y Blanes, 2015;Domínguez-Mujica y Pérez-García, 2017;González-Enríquez y Martínez-Romera, 2017;Prieto et al, 2018) como las interregionales (Cámara, 2009;González-Laxe, et al, 2013;González-Leonardo y López-Gay, 2019a). Las segundas son, en términos cuantitativos, ampliamente mayoritarios y suponen, según los datos de la Estadística de Variaciones Residenciales, en torno al 85% de las bajas registradas por personas nacidas en España, con una edad comprendida entre 25 y 34 años y que traspasaron algún límite regional entre los años 2000 y 2018.…”

Durante los primeros quince años del siglo XXI, la movilidad de larga distancia se ha incrementado entre la población española. La emigración de jóvenes cualificados hacia el extranjero ha ocupado una posición preferente en el debate académico, pero las migraciones interregionales en función del nivel educativo, que son mayoritarias respecto a la movilidad exterior, no han sido tratadas con la atención que merecen. En este aspecto, se observan dinámicas migratorias diferenciadas: los titulados universitarios de las regiones del interior peninsular y la Cornisa Cantábrica emigran más hacia otras CC. AA., mientras que la población sin estudios superiores presenta índices migratorios más o menos estables. En la otra cara de la moneda se encuentra Madrid, que aumenta su capacidad de atracción hacia los universitarios del resto de España, al mismo tiempo que expulsa a su población menos cualificada hacia el norte de Castilla-La Mancha.

“…a) The recession, the longest and the most severe since the Depression of the 1930s which, hit hard south-European households and had an impact on family dynamics -especially on fertility -, as in almost all the developed countries (Sobotka, Skirbekk & Philipov, 2011;Kreyenfeld, Anderson & Pailhe, 2012;Goldstein, Kreyenfeld, Jasilioniene & Orsal, 2013;Bellido & Marcen, 2016;Comolli, 2017;Ayllon, 2019;Alderotti, Mussino & Comolli, 2019;Matysiak, Bignoli & Sobotlka, 2020). This recession, which hit Greece much harder than Spain and Italy (OECD, 2014;European Commission 2016Pissarides, Vafianos, Vettas & Megir, 2020), had also impacts on migration flows in the southern European countries: it caused the departure of part of the population of reproductive age, both nationals and foreigners who had settled in these countries during the previous decades (Larramona, 2013;Recaño, Roig & De Miguel, 2015;Labrianidis & Pratsinakis, 2016;Cerrutti & Maguid, 2016;Bayona-i-Carrasco, Thiers Quintana & Avila-Tàpies, 2017;Bermudez & Brey, 2017;Bonifazi & Strozza, 2017;Tintori & Romei, 2017;Strozza & De Santis, 2017;Kotzamanis, 2018;Kotzamanis & Karkanis, 2018;Prieto-Rosas & Quintero-Lesmes, 2018;Colombo & Dalla Zuanna, 2019).…”

This article provides an overview of trends in fertility of foreign and national women in Greece, Spain, and Italy during the last decade and before the Covid pandemic. It focuses on the fertility of foreigners and compares this with that of ‘nationals’. The main analysis focuses on a period marked, firstly, by the economic recession and stagnation, and then by the recent wave of the ‘refugee crisis’. Foreigner fertility in the three south Mediterranean countries differs significantly from that of nationals, with the former having higher fertility rates and lower mean age at childbearing. However, although foreigners make a large contribution to births, their impact on period fertility (total fertility rate or TFR) is limited. At the same time, although the fertility of both groups decreased during the first years of the recession, foreigner TFRs fell faster in both absolute and relative terms in Italy and Greece. However, after 2014, the foreigner period fertility among the three countries differs as a relative stabilisation is observed in Spain and Italy, while indicators rise in Greece. This divergence is due to the various composition changes in the settled after-2014 foreigners in the three countries and the strong recovery of foreigner births in Greece (as fertility in Greece was much more affected by the recession).
