Galicia is confronting a shifting demographic reality: while direct emigration is declining, the total population abroad is growing due to descendants of native-born residents. This trend reveals a complex migration pattern rather than simple depopulation. The government regards this diaspora as a vital ally in combating Spain’s demographic crisis. By leveraging these international ties, Galicia aims to mitigate internal population challenges through sustained engagement. This data is crucial for open-data initiatives, as it underscores the need to track generational migration flows. Accurate statistics enable better policy design, demonstrating how diaspora networks can effectively support regional development and return strategies.
