MADRID: Spain will introduce a plan to match migrants to jobs under a programme to grant legal status to about 500,000 undocumented workers to help drive economic growth, the country's top immigration official told Reuters.
The programme, announced in January, has been criticised by far-right leaders in Spain and across Europe, but the Socialist-led coalition government argues migration will help the Spanish economy continue to outpace its European peers by creating a younger workforce as the general population ages.
