REMIGR
Back to the future: new emigration and links to the Portuguese society
This project seeks to understand the size and characteristics of the new emigration, especially considering the relationships that migrants maintain with their country of origin. In order to better operationalize the research, some restrictions will be adopted. On the empirical level, only flows occurred in the last decade (after the turn of the century) will be considered. In-depth observation will be made of two of the most exemplary flows, namely the mobility of young highly skilled (holders of a tertiary level degree) and low skilled manual workers, in the context of some countries of destination. An exhaustive survey of the main statistical data available will be made, complemented by an in-depth study of the two types of migrants in countries that stand out as important receivers in recent years. The chosen destinations were France and the UK, in the European Union, and Angola and Brazil, outside Europe, a combination needed to reflect contemporary migration dynamics.
