Abstract
La literatura científica sobre el fenómeno inmigratorio en la España de los últimos
quince años ha sido abundante en tanto y cuanto a su carácter masivo. Sin embargo,
muy poco o nada se ha profundizado en la repercusión de la inmigración sobre la población
anciana. En este artículo se aborda este tema, desde una perspectiva que se
aproxima a la escala municipal y a determinados colectivos de inmigrantes que, aunque
diferentes en cuanto a su estructura interna y motivaciones de llegada, se cuentan
entre los que han aportado mayores contingentes: británicos, marroquíes, ecuatorianos
y rumanos. Se divide el análisis en dos períodos diferentes, 2002-2007, en el que
el crecimiento económico y la demanda de mano de obra foránea eran elevadas, y
2008-2011, en el que la crisis dejó sentir ya de manera rotunda su incidencia. Los resultados muestran una aportación leve al crecimiento de la población de mayor edad,
aunque con matices
Academic literature concerning immigration in Spain over the last fifteen years has been extensive in respect of the fact that it has been a mass phenomenon. However, little or no in-depth attention has been paid to the repercussions of immigration on the demographic aging of the population. The present paper addresses this topic from a perspective that focuses primarily on municipal units. It investigates various groups of immigrants that, although differing in regard to their internal structure and motivations for coming to Spain, are among those that have supplied the largest contingents: British, Moroccan, Ecuadorian and Romanian citizens. The analysis covers two dif - ferent periods. The first is 2002 to 2007, when economic growth and the demand for foreign labour were both high. The second is 2008 to 2011, when the crisis made itself felt in a particularly forceful way. The results show a slight contribution to demographic ageing, although with variations
