Regresso e circulação de emigrantes portugueses no início do século XXI

Abstract

<span>This text’s main objective is to assess the importance of the return of Portuguese emigrants in 2001-2011, in the light of the number of people who came back, their sociodemographic profiles, the variations in the countries they came from, and the emergence of new forms of mobility. A more particular goal is to produce a typology of forms of return: some more associated with the traditional view of people emigrating when they are of working age and coming home in the retirement phase of their lives; others that suggest movements of a different type, with earlier returns while the returnee is still working. The authors also look at how an increase in complex mobility patterns can lead to a different pattern of returns. Recent data reveal some of the new mobility formats, including a growing trend towards circulation.</span>

The Fourth Wave of Portuguese Emigration: Austerity Policies, European Peripheries and Postcolonial Continuities

“…Skilled Portuguese workers' main reasons for emigration are varied and are principally (i) to get a job, (ii) to work in their area of education, (iii) to study, or (iv) to progress in their professional career. These drivers of migration have been revealed by recent research projects on Portuguese emigration in times of crisis (Ganga et al 2016;Oliveira et al 2016;Peixoto et al 2016;Pereira et al 2015;Lopes 2014;Pereira 2015).…”

The first findings about the relationship between the financial crisis and the increase in Portuguese emigration began to emerge in 2014 and research has continued ever since(Gomes et al 2015;Peixoto et al 2016;Oliveira et al 2016;Canavarro et al 2014;Pereira 2015;Pires et al 2015;Ganga et al 2016;Justino 2016;Santana-Pereira and Horta 2017;Marques and Góis 2013;Leite et al 2017;Farcas and Gonçalves 2017).…”

New Emigration and Portuguese Society: Transnationalism and Return

“…Neto 2010; Sardinha 2011) and the return of scientists and researchers (Delicado 2010). It was only more recently that Oliveira et al (2016) sought to present a comprehensive view of the subject. Even so, the new trends of return remain largely unknown, due to the emergence of new emigrant profiles, new destinations and a new global context of international migration.…”

“…A cluster analysis of the countries from which recent returns are occurring shows that the new Portuguese emigration is accompanied by new patterns of return, particularly among the younger population. The cluster analysis by country of emigration reveals three different groups (Table 3.5) 5 (for more details, see Oliveira et al 2016).…”
