Resumen

International migration flows are inherent to the search for improving people living conditions; so, these flows usually goes from those less developed countries, or involved in a war or living under political instability, towards countries with a greater political stability or with better socioeconomic conditions. In the context of economic crisis, the differentials between countries conditions become modify and the uncertainty appears as an additional element. The emigration from Spain to Switzerland was important, in quantitative terms in the past half century, and it was mainly shaped by male and low-skilled labour. The economic boom of the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century changed the social and economic landscape in Spain. Anyway, the strong global economic crisis, begun in 2007, changed the world stage. In this paper the migratory flows between Spain and Switzerland are discussed, with special reference to the Galician emigration to that country. The results confirm the effects of the crisis for the analysed case.
