Spain closed 2025 with more than 3.1 million foreign contributors to Social Securityand with a growing weight of immigration in job creation. Official data not only show that a good part of the new work generated in Spain is being filled with labor from other countries, but also that the nationality of these new affiliates is also changing. In 2025, Venezuelans have become the nationality that has grown the most in new foreign affiliations to Social Security, above Colombians. This means that they lead the increase in registrations during the last year, but they are not the largest group if we look at the total number of foreign affiliates, a place that continues to be occupied by workers from Morocco and Romania. Record number of foreign affiliates in 2025. According to December 2025 dataSocial Security registered 3,135,581 foreign affiliates after adjusting for calendar and seasonality, which represents more than 800,000 contributors than before the labor reform and almost a million more than those registered before the pandemic. This increase implies that the workers of foreign origin They contributed 40.4% of the total new affiliations to Social Security. That is, just over four out of every ten new contributors in 2025 were of foreign nationality. Its weight within the whole labor market has also strengthenedand foreigners already represent 14.12% of the total members, six tenths more than in 2024. “The 2025 balance shows that the contribution of foreign people is structural and decisive for employment growth, the sustainability of the pension system and the shared prosperity of our country,” said the Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Elma Saiz. in a statement. Venezuelans: the nationality that is growing the most. Within this general increase, the Venezuelan community is the one that concentrates the largest increase in new foreign affiliates in 2025. workers arriving from Venezuela They formalized 40,614 new affiliations compared to those registered in 2024, adding a total of 215,735 Venezuelans. This represents an annual growth of 23.2% and places them as the group that has registered the most new registrations in Social Security in the last year. This jump places Venezuelans in 19.8% of the total new registrations of foreign people, so that almost one in every five new affiliations of immigrants was workers. from Venezuela. The figure consolidates an upward trend that has been observed for almost a decade, but marks a turning point in 2025 by becoming for the first time the nationality that has grown the most in relative terms, placing itself ahead of Colombians who also marked a historical rise. Colombians: more numerous but with less growth. Although Venezuelans have led the increase in new memberships, Colombians remain the largest community in terms of total memberships. At the end of 2025, the system registered around 250,248 Colombian workers, compared to the 212,319 registered in 2024. This represents an increase of 28,929 new members, leaving a growth of 13% compared to last year.

What they are and how to use them to put order among the members of a group

by

Let’s explain to you what it is and how to use it Member Tagsa new WhatsApp feature for groups that has been rolling out over the last month. It is something that can serve both as entertainment within a group of friends and for the organization of more serious groups. We are going to start the article by explaining what exactly this new function is, as well as its possibilities. And then we will guide you step by step how you can create yours in any of your groups. What are member tags Member tags is a feature for WhatsApp groups. With them, any of the members of a name can add a label or nickname, and What you type will appear under your name when you write in one of these groups. The label will be visible to all group members, and will appear every time you type. Just as the name you appear under will depend on how each person has added you to their contacts, The label you put will be the same for everyoneand all members of a group will see the same thing. This means that the labels can be used to give context of who is who in those groups where you do not have the members in their contacts. When you don’t have someone in contacts, within a group you will only see their number or a kind of nickname that the person has set up, and the label can serve to better identify who each person is. You can change your label whenever you want and as many times as you want. Therefore, if you are not satisfied or if you have gotten bored with one you have placed, you can change it as many times as you want. And finally, The label you put on yourself in a group is only for that group.and it will not be seen in others where you participate. In fact, you can give yourself a different label in each group you are in. What can you use these labels for? Labels can be used for different things depending on the context of each group. In groups that are more serious, these can serve to identify each person that is inside. For example, in a group of parents of students each person can say who they are the father or mother of. In a more professional setting, member tags can be used to clarify the roles of each of the members. Think that you are in a group related to your work, because with them the human resources person or the boss can identify themselves so that everyone recognizes them. And in groups of friends, labels can also serve as entertainmentso that each member can give themselves a nickname, something descriptive or simply an inside joke. How to set your label in a WhatsApp group To configure your personal tag in a group, the first thing is Click on the image or group name to enter your settings. The easiest thing is to click on the image, since it is easier to hit it with your finger. Once you are in the group settings, you have to go to the members list and click on your name. The list of members will appear almost at the bottom. In the list you will also see the tags of the other members so that you can identify them as well. If you have never configured your tag in a group, you will directly go to the screen where you can write the one you want to use. And if you already have a label, an intermediate screen will appear with your name, telephone number and label, and you will have to press where it says Edit member tag. When you enter the screen to add or edit your tag, a writing field will appear where you can put the word or phrase you want. Below you’ll see a preview that shows you how the label will appear in messages you write. And that’s it. From now on, when you write in a group, all members will be able to see your tag below your name or phone number. You can also always see other people’s tags every time they write something.
