Spain has 5,800,468 foreigners, including 811,530 Moroccans, at the end of December 2020, 2% more than a year earlier, according to figures by the ministry of inclusion, social security and migration.
Women represent 44% of the Moroccan community legally established in Spain, the ministry said, adding that the average age of Moroccan immigrants in the Iberian country does not exceed 33 years.
The socio-demographic profile of foreign residents is varied. The average age of the foreign resident population in Spain is around 40 years old and men predominate over women.
However, there are quite old groups among EU nationals living in Spain, such as the British (average age 54) and, to a lesser extent, Germans (49), and others younger like Pakistanis and Moroccans (33 years old).
According to the document, drawn up by the Permanent Observatory on Migration, 15 nationalities represent almost 75% of the total number of foreign residents in Spain. Eight of them correspond to countries of the European Union, among which Romania, the United Kingdom and Italy stand out. Among the most numerous groups of non-EU countries are those of Morocco, China, Venezuela and Ecuador.
