Only a
quarter of foreigners from the most developed countries in the EU who
live in Spain are pensioners. The rest belong to the active
population, and their educational and occupational levels are higher
than those of the Spanish population, and considerably higher than
those of the rest of the immigrant population.

This paper analyses the impact of remittances on a set of human development variables in Ecuador. It is focused on education and health indicators, as well on some other consumption variables. Prepared by Juan Ponce (Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales – FLACSO, Ecuador) and Iliana Olivié (Elcano Royal Institute’s Senior Analyst on International Cooperation and Development), the study was presented in two workshops held at the Elcano Royal Institute (Madrid) and at CIDOB (Barcelona) on 3 and 5 June 2008, respectively. It was also presented on 10 June in a specific session on Remittances held at the World Bank’s 2008 ABCDE in Cape Town (South Africa).

What relationship exists between language and migratory patterns? What is the role of language in flows of immigrants and in immigration policies? Is it advantageous for an immigrant to know the language of the host country? These and other questions are at the heart of this reflection on the relationship between the language an immigrant speaks and the dominant language of the host country.

Poland has been forced to design a stricter migratory regime firstly for EU accession and secondly, for entering Schengen espace. Since December 2007 Polish eastern frontier (stretching across 1,200 kilometres from the Baltic to the Carpathians) has become one of the few points in Europe at which it is possible to control human spatial mobility on the east-west axis.

The immigration phenomenon in Spain has been
characterized by the presence of foreigners lacking work- and
residence papers. This has fuelled a growth model that is
labour-intensive and not very productive, weakening social cohesion.
