Características de la migración de los extracomunitarios en Italia y España afínales del siglo XX

Abstract

With this contribution, the territorial distribution models of extra-community citizens in Italy and Spain will be analysed, in order to answer some questions. First of all, is it possible to detect territorial assets in terms of the main foreign communities coming from Developing Countries and from Intermediate Developing Countries living in the two countries? Did the settling models of each group undergo remarkable variations in time, and in which direction (for instance, towards a larger territorial spreading or towards a progressive concentration in a few areas)? Last, is it possible to pinpoint, even within the clear limits of comparability, similar elements in the territorial assets of the same group in the two receiving countries considered? All in all, relevance is given to whether each foreign group keeps —both in Italy and in Spain— the same territorial distribution model or if, vice versa, it shows remarkable differences in its settling characteristics.
