The article reflects upon migratory movements in Spain, focusing on the role of women from Morocco and Equatorial Guinea. Immigration is analyzed as a process that leads these women towards a new reality, which severs them from their earlier lives. It also examines the integration or assimilation that accompany migration dynamics in relation to the receiving society. It can be concluded that the process is incomplete since the actual integration of women immigrants into the receiving society takes place over time, therefore, they can be considered to be "women in transition.".

This article analyzes the linguistic integration of the second generation of immigrants in Catalonia on the basis of the theory of segmented assimilation. The main objectives are to discover which factors help to determine the preference for the Catalan language (to the detriment of Spanish and the languages of origin) and the acquisition of written skills in Catalan among these young people. The sample comprises 3578 descendants of foreign immigrants aged between 12 and 17. Various multivariable logistic regression models have been carried out on the basis of theoretically relevant predictors. The results of the analysis show that there are different itineraries for linguistic adaptation among the teenage children of immigrants, reflecting a linguistic segmentation. The text examines the theoretical and political implications of the results in the Catalan context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on research regarding the insertion of immigrant labor into the Spanish labor market and the resulting economic conditions of the country and both Spanish and immigrant workers. Topics including labor assimilation, labor mobility and cultural and economic distance are covered in the course of the study, as the authors explore the gaps between the pay and social status of Spanish laborers and their immigrant counterparts. This condition is described by the authors as occupational and salary segregation.
