Summary/Abstract: The foreign migration to Morocco, mainly Spanish and French, has deep historical roots. Fueled by economic, social and cultural reasons since the mid-20th century, this phenomenon gained momentum recently in the aftermath of the 2008-2009 economic crisis.The paper tries to shed light on this new form of migration, its dynamics and features and to what extent it is due to structural or cyclical factors. It tackles, also, key policy responses to be implemented by so as to grasp the opportunities associated with this type of migration.
