Abstract

El crecimiento sin precedentes del número de inmigrante en nuestro país ha generado un fuerte interés tanto político como social acerca del coste-beneficio que esto supone en términos de cotizaciones a la Seguridad Social y del uso de servicios públicos en España. Este interés se ha visto acrecentado con el aumento del déficit público resultante de la crisis económica. En este contexto, el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar cuál es el impacto de los procesos de reagrupación familiar tanto sobre el incremento de los gastos en protección social como en las contribuciones a la Seguridad Social, utilizando la información contenida en la Encuesta Nacional de Inmigrantes y en la Muestra Continua de Vidas Laborales 2007. Se observa que los procesos de reagrupación familiar ejercen una influencia positiva sobre los inmigrantes beneficiarios: un inmigrante que ha ejercido el derecho a reagrupar a su familia tiene una probabilidad de estar trabajando en lugar de estar inactivo en torno al 30% superior a uno que no lo ha hecho. Además según la información contenida en la MCVL 2007, los inmigrantes continuaban siendo contribuyentes netos del sistema, a pesar del incremento del gasto en términos de prestaciones por desempleo. Por su parte la incidencia en el número de perceptores de otros tipos de prestaciones contributivas como viudedad, orfandad y a favor de familiares es menor en el caso de los inmigrantes, si bien es de esperar que esta crezca a medida que se vaya afianzando su presencia en nuestro país.
