Foreign population in Barcelona. January 2012 
For the third year in a row, The Barcelona Education Consortium has published a report on schooling that allows for our city's educational system to be gauged and for us to take the pulse of the fundamental tendencies with regard to the evolution of the school-age population.
This study offers a theoretical analysis on the phenomenon of international migrations and transnationalism, by presenting a comparison between the three groups based on their social networks, chain migration, employment trend, type and hierarchy of the community and the effects of the economic crisis, among other aspects.
