Abstract:
This work deals the decision to emigrate young people qualified as they are the most affected by the current economic crisis, which has an unemployment rate of 52% (in the age group 20 to 24 years); and 32% (25 to 29 years). As a consequence of this high unemployment rate, many young people decide to start a migratory movement from Spain to other countries around the world. In this work I have analyzed this situation using a survey that has been made to 150 students who are finishing the career at the University Rovira i Virgili. Thanks to results, I could say that we are truly facing a brain drain and, therefore, I can corroborate that this collective is affected by the crisis and they are migrating from Spain getting younger.
