A total of 258,939 Moroccans were affiliated to social security in Spain at the end of January, according to the Spanish Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration.

Moroccans remain at the top of the ranking of non-EU foreign workers contributing to social security in Spain, followed by the Chinese (97,610), according to ministry data, published on Thursday.

The total number of foreigners affiliated to Spanish social security reached 2,044,669 people in the first month of this year, down 1.6% compared to December 2020, meaning 33,967 less active people due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Some 771,683 Moroccans were legally established in Spain until July 1, 2020, up 1.4% (+10,968 people) compared to January 1 of the same year, according to the National Institute of Statistics (INE).
