1,651,390 foreign citizens registered with Spanish Social Security system in May



The year-on-year decline in the number of foreign contributors stands at -5.08%, compared with a rate of -3.7% for the Spanish Social Security system as a whole. These two indicators show a continuation of the trend already seen in previous months, insofar as that job losses continue to more greatly affect foreign workers than those of Spanish nationality.
The Balearic Islands and Aragon are the autonomous regions posting the highest month-on-month increases (21.06% and 10.79%, respectively), while La Rioja (5.4%), Navarre (3.13%) and Catalonia (2.86%) also posted positive results.

The figures recorded for May show that 1,022,546 of the total 1,651,390 foreign citizens registered with the Spanish Social Security system came from countries outside of the European Union. The remaining 628,844 are from EU countries.

The majority of foreign citizens are registered under the General Regime: 974,826, a figure that does not include the Special System for Agricultural Workers (221,302) or the Special System for Domestic Workers (229,394). This is followed by the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (220,935), the Special Regime for Seamen (4,633) and the Special Regime for Coal Workers (301).

Catalonia is the autonomous region with the largest average number of foreign citizens registered with the system; 366,596 (22.21%). This is followed by the Region of Madrid, with 346,596 (20.99%); Andalusia, with 218,651 (13.24%); and the Region of Valencia, with 167,892 (10.17%).

Of the total 1,619,275 foreign citizens in the system, 849,080 are men and 770,194 are women.
