Migrant workers in Spain face worse labor conditions: more temporary contracts, night work, and dismissals
By

Crispy enough to crunch, soft enough to enjoy. A good bake.
Summary
Foreign workers in Spain face significantly worse labor conditions than their Spanish counterparts, including higher rates of temporary and discontinuous fixed contracts, and are underrepresented among permanent employees despite overall gains since the 2021 labor reform. Migrants work more weekends and nights and face higher dismissal rates. A new regularization is expected to increase foreign Social Security affiliation by 17%, though experts say it will have limited visible impact on Spain's economic growth.
