Demographic: The population structure of the UK and Spain is altered. Spain will have an increased ageing population, the UK will have a decreasing ageing population.
Environmental: Many UK migrants don't live in Spain all year - they regularly return to the UK - increasing air traffic, causing more pollution.
Social: The Spanish health care system is under pressure due to the ageing population. The UK born Spanish residents don't have the same rights to the health care system as UK residents do.
Cultural: UK migratns set up commuities with British-run shops and resturants. Some people don't interact with the local community. This leads to tensions between the UK migrants and local people.
Economic: Jobs are created in Spain to provide for the needs of the UK migrants. UK migrants spend their earnings in Spain, helping their economy to grow, not the UK economy.
Political: Local elections in Spain are affected by UK migrants - they have the right to vote and many of them are standing as candidates in the elections. Also, some Spanish people think that the health care that the UK migrants recieve should be paid for by the NHS.
