On the other hand, when the need appears, the response inevitably appears as well. In
Spain today, I am
quite sure that vast numbers of young people are learning English (and other languages)
for the purpose
of finding jobs in other countries.

No, They are not. They are emigrating to Mexico and Chile.

Actually, just over 54% are going to either the UK or the US...Less than 11% are going to the rest of the Americas
combined; I'm not sure how many of those 11% are going to Mexico and Chile, but it's a lot less than the English
speaking countries are receiving.(Source: http://www.iza.org/conference_files/mhc2013/jimeno_j141.pdf)

Spanish emigration to other European countries must be higher than the statistics say. I myself have been living in The Netherlands for 4 years and I'm quite sure Spain has no idea that I left. I think I was supposed to notify it, but the truth is I couldn't care less. Whereas people needing visas to leave must be mostly accounted for.

I think top 2 destinations for young Spaniards looking for jobs are most probably UK followed by Germany.
