摘要：The dramatic growth of international immigration in Spain in recent years has inspired a large literature concerning the major family practices of immigrants settled in Spain. However, little is known about the familial forms of coexistence of immigrants or the process of family reunification. This article intends to address these shortcomings with data from the National Survey of Immigrants 2007. We propose three main research objectives. First, the forms of co-residence of immigrants from the standpoint of size and structure of their homes. Second, the composition of households in terms of nuclear family members absent and present. Finally, the family reunification processes that led to the configuration of these domestic structures. In particular, we analyze the factors that promote or hinder reunification of immigrants with their spouse and children in Spain.
