- A nova onda da imigração brasileira em Portugal: notas preliminaresPublication . Fernandes, Duval; Peixoto, João; Oltramari, Andrea PoletoO início da década de 2020 assinalava novo patamar da migração de brasileiros para Portugal. O volume e a diversidade sempre crescentes indicavam que a composição dessa nova onda migratória apresentava características distintas das precedentes. Apesar da predominância da migração laboral, novas estratégias, facilitadas por alterações na legislação migratória portuguesa, permitiam conciliar a formação acadêmica, a migração estudantil, com a busca por trabalho. Investidores e aposentados passavam também a compor o quadro dos imigrantes: os primeiros ocupando lugar de destaque dentre os imigrantes de todas as nacionalidades que obtêm o visto de residência permanente, e os últimos, pouco visíveis para as entidades que auxiliam os imigrantes e para as autoridades brasileiras em Portugal. No entanto, quase todos relatavam episódios de intolerância, alguns explícitos e outros menos evidentes. Esse processo vinha tomando fôlego depois de ultrapassada a crise financeira portuguesa de 2011-2014, beneficiando-se do crescimento gradual da economia. Ele foi, porém, fortemente impactado pela chegada da pandemia do Covid-19, que fez refluir essa nova onda pelas medidas sanitárias adotadas em um processo que, em meados de 2020, ainda é bem incerto de sua conclusão.
- A socio-political view of international migration from Latin America and the Caribbean: the case of EuropePublication . Peixoto, JoãoIn this paper, reference will be made to all Latin American and Caribbean inflows to Europe and its social and political impacts, but attention will be mainly driven to migration into Southern Europe, particularly Spain, Portugal and Italy. Topics to be explored include the factors, economic and other, explaining recent immigration; the economic incorporation of immigrants; the social framework of flows, including reactions from local populations to immigrants; and the tentative and multiple policy responses to immigration, focussing when possible on the Latin American and Caribbean inflow. The fragile balance between a demographic and an economic need for immigration, and a social and political mostly defensive reaction, will be highlighted, as well as some probable trends in the field.
- Return international migration: a study from Portugal to Brazil at the beginning of the XXI centuryPublication . Nunan, Carolina; Fernandes, Duval; Peixoto, JoãoThe Brazilian emigration began is so massive, in the 1990s, ejectors backed by several factors, among them, an economic crisis, which led many Brazilians to migrate abroad, mainly in the United States, United Kingdom and Portugal. At that moment, until the last years of this century, the countries considered receivers offered attractive labor markets with good prospects of increased income. This paper refers to the flow Brazil-Portugal. Portugal, which currently presents a number of factors ejectors as a high unemployment, intensified by the International Crisis began in late 2008. The first hypothesis of this study was the high possibility of return of immigrants to Brazil, since the socio-economic development of the companies involved have been reversed in these different moments. The results indicate a deceleration of the inflow in Portugal and a strong flow of the output stream, not explicit in official data, but clear evidence recorded by the statements.
