The death rate of foreigners in Spain is slightly lower to the percentage they represent. This is explained due to the fact that they are usually working age population with low mirtality rates. Also these people return to their countries when they age or have spent many years in Spain, for this reason, in many cases they already have the Spanish nationalyty so they are taken into acount as Spanish citizens.There is another type of inmigration which is that of communitary residents of medium-high class who come to live in Spain after their retirement (specially in the coast of Levante and Andalusia). |
