Latin Americans and Caribbeans in Europe: A Cross‐Country Analysis
Abstrak
With the beginning of the 21st century, there has been an acceleration of migratory fl ows from Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) to Europe. As a result, and despite the negative impact of the economic crisis, 4.6 million Latin American and Caribbean immigrants reside in Europe, half of them in Spain. This article analyses the recent evolution of these migratory fl ows, their territorial distribution, and their demographic pro fi les according to the 2011 European census data disseminated by a new tool — the Census Hub — implemented by the European Statistical System. The analysis shows the existence of a high LAC immigrant concentration in Spain and in certain European cities, a marked young and feminized demographic pro fi le, a great variety of educational levels and a different insertion in each European labour market, although many LAC immigrants work in low-skill occupations, being overquali fi ed and underemployed in most of the countries.
