A total of 296,835 Moroccans are affiliated with the social security system in Spain at the end of October, said the Spanish Ministry of Labour, Migration and Social Security on Monday.
Moroccans continue to occupy first place among non-EU foreign workers paying social security contributions in Spain, followed by Colombians (124,668) and Venezuelans (120,969).
The total number of foreigners affiliated with the Spanish social security system reached 2,462,506 in the first ten months of 2022, an increase of 6,487 active individuals compared to September.
Of the total number of foreign workers contributing to the Spanish social security system, a total of 1,620,076 are from non-EU countries and 842,430 are from EU countries.
Overall, foreign workers accounted for 12.2% of the total number of people registered for social security in October in seasonally adjusted values.
Additionally, a total of 879,943 Moroccans were legally established in Spain up to 1 January 2022, an increase of 0.8% (+7,184 people) compared to 1 January 2021, according to the National Statistics Institute (INE).
Moroccans have thus maintained their position as the leading foreign community legally established in the Iberian country, representing 16% of foreigners residing in Spain, according to the same source.
