Abstract

The article analyzes Spanish emigration to Chile between 2008 and 2014, with the aim of defining the profile of new Spanish emigrants to Chile, understanding the reasons for their migration, identifying initial problems in the migration process, identifying the conditions of their current situation and understanding their future expectations. We used a mixed quantitative and qualitative methodological strategy, combining first and second order research. We have concluded that these emigrants are highly skilled young people, expelled from Spain by the crisis and attracted to Chile by the opportunities to gain work experience; in Chile they encounter a migratory network of Spanish emigrants who hold qualified jobs that the national population could not fill in the mining and energy sectors; they have not encountered any particular difficulties in their migration process, are satisfied with their experiences and their expectations for the future include staying in Chile or re-emigrating.
