Digital nomads started being paid to live in villages
At the end of July 2024, it became known that the autonomous community of Extremadura, located in southwestern Spain, organized a project aimed at attracting digital nomads. They will be paid thousands of euros to live in local villages.
The Extremadura authorities allocated €2 million for the implementation of the initiative. The decision was made as part of efforts to further stimulate the region's economy by attracting highly qualified specialists and increasing the number of residents. As of 2024, Extremadura has the lowest population density in Spain at 26 people per square kilometer. At the same time, the region offers a high quality of life. In addition, there is a developed telecommunications infrastructure. In particular, the level of coverage with fiber-optic networks reaches 93%, 4G mobile services - 97%, and 5G networks - 75-80%.
In
Digital nomads who express a desire to become participants in the program are subject to certain requirements. They must have an identification number for foreigners and agree to live in a settlement with less than 5,000 inhabitants.
Selected women and men under the age of 30 will initially receive €10,000. Only men can be digital nomads over 30 years old - the Extremadura authorities will allocate €8,000 to them. After the expiration of the two-year period, the program participants can apply for an extension of stay for another year: in this case, payments will be an additional €5,000 and €4,000, respectively. The recruitment of specialists will remain open until the entire amount allocated under the program is spent. The initiative is expected to have a positive impact on the development of the region and help increase local consumption.[3]

Marriages and divorces
2020: Marriage reduction by 48% amid COVID-19 pandemic
The number of marriages among heterosexual couples in Spain is falling sharply, but homosexual couples (especially women) began to formalize their relationship much more often.
The Covid-19 pandemic has reduced the number of weddings.
The number of marriages in Spain in 2020 decreased by 46% compared to 2019. The sociologist clarifies that, in addition to the pandemic, the marriage itself is losing importance for the Spaniards. This is due to the position of a woman in society (emancipation). She doesn't have to marry, she can work and get an education. There are many families in Spain who are not officially married, but have been together for many years and have children.
The working father and stay-at-home mother family model was replaced by a dual income (mother and father) model.
