Spain’s social security system is seeing a significant boost in new contributors thanks to a recent regularization process. Here is how the numbers are breaking down for these new workers:
- Between mid-April and late June, the government received nearly 1.175 million regularization requests.
- By July, officials had processed about 608,000 of these applications, granting provisional work and residency permits.
- This process has successfully added 421,306 new workers to the social security system.
- Impressively, 71% of these newly registered employees come from Latin American countries.
It is clear that this initiative is effectively integrating many foreign workers into the national labor market.
