abstract: Migration flows in Spain from 2000 until 2007 were characterized by massive immigration from abroad. The booming construction sector grew rapidly, providing employment for millions of immigrants. However, when the crisis hit, the construction sector in particular experienced declining investments, and unemployment went up dramatically. As a consequence, immigration declined, and emigration increased. In this thesis, the migration flows of Spaniards and foreigners have been examined for Spain’s 17 autonomous communities. The goal of this thesis is to find out whether migration patterns have changed during the crisis years, and if this can be explained by the impacts of the economic crisis. Analysis has shown that Spaniards react differently than foreigners, in migration decisions. Whereas foreigners are more likely to migrate abroad, Spaniards tend to predominantly migrate interregionally. Migration decisions are partly economic in nature, and dependent on the risks of unemployment and migrating to find a job.
