THE RIGHT TO WORK OF INMIGRANTS WORKERS IN SPAIN
THE RIGHT TO WORK OF INMIGRANTS WORKERS IN SPAIN

Summary/Abstract: The migratory phenomenon highlights its social character, so that immigrants emigrate largely to develop a professional activity. The imposition of legal restrictions and limitations postpones the emancipatory argument of social integration by effectively guaranteeing human rights for all. Migratory flows affect 281 million people worldwide, an important issue that invites us to reflect on possible factors of direct influence on this phenomenon. Addressing the issue of immigration in a context of health emergency, as well as the irreversible consequences of the austerity policies promoted during the economic and financial crisis of 2008 is complex due to the nuances that this phenomenon acquires in light of social, economic and health situations. The legislative response to the reality of migratory flows was not as expected as, in Spain, since 2000, the reforms incorporated in the Organic Law on Immigration have led to the restriction of individual rights and groups of illegal immigrants. These had to be corrected by the doctrine of the Constitutional Court through a list of decisions that classify the reforms incorporated by LO 8/2000 as unconstitutional.
