Determinants of seasonal circular migration during Spain’s rural exodus, 1955–1973
The Legacy of Temporary Employment in Francoist Spain
This article revisits the levels of temporary employment in Franco’s Spain from an international perspective.

The results show that fixed-term contracts reached 20–30 percent during this period and were not only concentrated in unstable employment branches such as agriculture, to…
The formation of the tourism labour market in Spain, 1955–1973
This paper studies the process of labour market formation in the tourism industry in Spain.

Tourism agents promoted these flows by different mechanisms such as recruitme…

More specifically, I study this process in one key scenario - the Spanish tourism boom. Using a novel micro-dataset, results show that the tempora…
