'The world upside down': The rise of Spanish immigration to Morocco

[Amun]

For generations, Moroccans have immigrated to Europe for work but now, in a surprising illustration of Europe's economic crisis, that trend is reversing –Europeans are coming to Morocco in search of jobs.

It's "the world upside down," writes Hein de Haas, co-director of the International Migration Institute, affiliated with Oxford University.

The number of Spaniards officially registered as residents in Morocco quadrupled between 2003 and 2011, according to the National Statistics Institute of Spain. Tens of thousands more are now believed to be in Morocco illegally. Before the crisis, Martinez says, no one in Spain ever thought they would come to Morocco for work.

The Spaniards in Morocco are not immigrants, but technicians working in Spanish companies who are assigned to work there. For example, engineers from a Spanish company which is building a desalination plant in Morocco, or architects who oversee the construction of public works done by Spanish companies. They are in the country a few months and after return to Spain.

Apart from unemployed Moroccans with Spanish citizenship returning to Morocco for a few months or years, until finish their unemployment benefits.

According to the article, unemployment ratios in Spain exceeded 25%, so it is not surprising that some Spaniards decided to immigrate to Morocco where they will receive luxurious advantages just because they are white. These things happen unfortunately in Egypt, where 100 thousand Lebanese, 350 Palestinians, 150 thousand Americans and 100-200 thousand Chinese, are living at least in Upper Middle classes according to Egyptian standards. Of course all of this happen on the expense of poor locals.

It makes no sense. The average wage in Morocco is 200 euros, while the minimum income allowance in Spain is 500 euros and unemployment benefits, 400 euros. So earn twice without working in Spain than working in Morocco.

That is the reason why the majority of Moroccans, despite having an unemployment rate of 60%, continue living in Spain and do not return to their country.
