Abstract(s)
One of the rationales of the free circulation of people within the European Union (EU) is the enabling
of a larger and more efficient labour market, where workers can move according to economic reasons, regardless
of political barriers. The recent economic crisis overcoming the EU that started in 2008 and was aggravated by
the financial woes of the Southern countries has been a favourable context to migration changes. The main
objective of this paper is to discuss how Portuguese emigrants have behaved during the crisis, revealing their
main reasons for leaving, migration strategies, labour insertion, transnational links and future plans
