Abstract: The comparative study of return migration of Latin Americans from Spain and the United States is investigated in this chapter, where it intensity and selectivity are analyzed by sex, age and educational attainment based on stock data from countries of origin and return. The results for 2006-2011 show that intensity of return migration is higher from Spain than from the United States, higher for men than for women, higher for qualified women, as well as concentrated in young adulthood, and the prevalence of returns associated with retirement seems marginal. As for the educational selectivity of returnees three patterns varying according countries of origin and return were appreciated: i) return is more likely among the more educated; ii) return is more likely among the less educated; and iii) polarized selectivity, indicating that return occurs either among the least and the most educated. Keywords: return, selectivity, Spain, United States.
