Many elements indicate that the Spanish economy is suffering not only a temporary crisis, on the contrary, shows the exhaustion of a production model. It is not easy or quick to create a new one. All this raises that the economic serious existing circumstances will impede to return to migratory favorable rhythms. Is confirmed the tremendous demographic Spanish weakness, since scarcely his structural components have been modified. The threat of the demographic regression is announced in the near horizon.
