Abstract
El artículo analiza la emigración española a Chile entre 2008 y 2014, con los
objetivos de definir el perfil del nuevo emigrante español a Chile, conocer las causas
de su emigración, detectar los problemas iniciales de su proceso migratorio,
identifi car su situación actual y conocer sus expectativas de futuro. Se ha utilizado
una estrategia metodológica mixta, cuantitativa y cualitativa, combinando investigación
de primer y segundo orden. Se concluye que estos emigrantes son jóvenes
altamente cualifi cados, expulsados de España por la crisis y atraídos a Chile por
las oportunidades de adquirir experiencia laboral, que han encontrado una red
migratoria formada por otros españoles y que están ocupando empleos cualifi cados
que la mano de obra nacional no puede ocupar en los sectores de minería y
energía; no han encontrado difi cultades en su proceso migratorio, se encuentran
satisfechos con su experiencia y entre sus expectativas predomina la idea de quedarse
en Chile o reemigrar.
The article analyzes Spanish emigration to Chile between 2008 and 2014, with the aim of defi ning the profi le of new Spanish emigrants to Chile, understanding the reasons for their migration, identifying initial problems in the migration process, identifying the conditions of their current situation and understanding their future expectations. We used a mixed quantitative and qualitative methodological strategy, combining fi rst and second order research. We have concluded that these emigrants are highly skilled young people, expelled from Spain by the crisis and attracted to Chile by the opportunities to gain work experience; in Chile they encounter a migratory network of Spanish emigrants who hold qualifi ed jobs that the national population could not fi ll in the mining and energy sectors; they have not encountered any particular diffi culties in their migration process, are satisfi ed with their experiences and their expectations for the future include staying in Chile or re-emigrating.
