This paper analyzes the quality of life of Latin American and Caribbean migrants residing in Madrid, Spain. The study includes an analysis of objective and subjective well-being based on the application of a survey to 135 people, considering elements such as access to basic services, housing conditioning, overcrowding, income, access to educational and health services, capacity for family coexistence, exercise of culture, religiosity and traditions, social participation, respect for human and civil rights, mental health, job satisfaction and satisfaction with the migration project. The results indicate that there are dissatisfied indicators such as salary, civic and political participation and mental health, while satisfiers that show acceptable levels are found in the ability to practice culture, including religion, celebration of holidays and ancestral traditions, as well as basic satisfactions such as food, home and equipment, and health and educational services.

Keywords : Migration; Latin American immigrants; quality of life; Madrid.
