Portugal, A Social Portrait

Ganhar o pão: O que fazemos

Professions have changed a lot in recent decades. Most Portuguese people work in services. Few work in agriculture and even fewer in fishing. Many emigrated. Women make up half of all working people, which is a big difference from the recent past. With European integration, the Portuguese economy underwent a major change. Everyone is living better, but there are many companies that have not been able to adapt to the new conditions.
