A demographic projection of Spain's native-born population (pablogguz.github.io)
Spain's demographic structure is changing — and fast. In 1998, the stock of foreign-born residents was just 2.9% of the total population. By 2024, this figure had skyrocketed to 18.2%, with nearly one in five residents born outside Spain. Among the prime working-age population (ages 25-54), the share of foreign-born individuals has reached 26.8% nationally, and in provinces hosting major urban and economic centers (like Madrid or Barcelona) it is as high as ~35%.
