Abstract
El artículo analiza la emigración española a Ecuador entre 2008 y 2015, con
los objetivos de definir el perfil del nuevo emigrante español a Ecuador, conocer
las causas de su emigración, detectar los problemas iniciales de su proceso
migratorio, identificar las condiciones de su situación actual y conocer sus
expectativas de futuro. Para ello se ha utilizado una estrategia metodológica
mixta, cuantitativa y cualitativa, combinando la investigación de primer y
segundo orden. Hemos concluido que estos emigrantes son jóvenes altamente cualificados, expulsados de España por la crisis y atraídos a Ecuador por el
gobierno con la intención de contribuyan al cambio de su matriz productiva;
en este sentido, Ecuador les ofrece oportunidades de adquirir experiencia
laboral y están ocupando empleos cualificados que la mano obra nacional
menos cualificada no puede ocupar. No han encontrado especiales dificultades
en su proceso migratorio, se encuentran bastante satisfechos con su experiencia
y entre sus expectativas predomina la idea de volver a España o de reemigrar.

We use a mixed quantitative and qualitative methodological strategy, combining first and second order research. We have concluded that these emigrants are highly skilled young people, expelled from Spain by the crisis and attracted to Ecuador by the government with the purpose of contributing to the change in its productive matrix; in this sense, Ecuador offers them opportunities to gain work experience and they occupy vacant qualified jobs that Ecuadorian less skilled labor force cannot occupy. They have not encountered any particular difficulties in their migration pro - cess, are satisfied with their experience and the ideas of returning to Spain or re-emigrating prevail between their expectations.
