The Economic Participation of Immigration: The Case of the Colombian Group in Barcelona

Date:
20.Mar.2007
Time:
18:00 hrs
Place:
CIDOB Foundation. Jordi Maragall Hall. Elisabets, 12. 08001 Barcelona
Organised by:
the Latin America Programme and the Migrations Programme of the CIDOB Foundation, in collaboration with the ACSAR Foundation

6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Colombia is the origin of the third largest foreign group in Spain, after citizens of Morocco and Ecuador. Although it is a recently migrated group, it has quickly become incorporated into the job market, albeit in habitually disadvantageous conditions. The objective of this workshop is to analyse the labour situation of the Colombian immigrants in three Catalan counties – Baix Llobregat, Vallès Occidental and Barcelonès –, paying special attention to strategies aimed at generating occupational mobility and the comparison of their situation with that of autochthonous workers.

Speaker: Maria Gertrudis Roa Martinez, Sociologist.
Commentator: Joaquim Novella, Professor of Economic Policy, University of Barcelona.
