The Impact of Migration on Birth Replacement - The Spanish Case

  • Chapter
Demographic Aspects of Migration

Abstract

Studies of reproduction and population replacement have focused mainly on the demographic situation of western countries. In the past, research on reproduction has dealt primarily on the interrelationship of fertility and mortality. The examination of fertility and mortality conditions were usually interpreted in terms of future implications: reproduction indicators were considered as hypothetical long-term consequences, for example. Reproduction indicators were initially concerned with the excessive population growth caused by high fertility levels and, more recently, with the low or very low fertility that suggested negative growth scenarios. Migration was only a minimal consideration in these previous studies.
