Spain’s Mass Migration Experiment Explained: Economic Growth, Aging Crisis & the Hidden Social CostsSpain is taking a different path on immigration compared to much of Europe. As the country faces record-low birth rates, an aging population, and pressure on its welfare system, mass migration has become a key strategy for maintaining economic growth and supporting pensions.In this video, we examine Spain’s migration experiment — from the economic benefits of a growing workforce and GDP expansion to the challenges of low wages, housing shortages, infrastructure strain, and social impacts.
