Resumo(s)
The austerity regime implemented in Portugal to face the financial
and economic crisis caused readjustments in the country’s
productive structure and labour market with an impact on
immigrants’ lifeworlds. This article aims at analysing the
consequences of the crisis in the lives of third-country nationals
living in Portugal, reflecting particularly on the impact on their
integration process, understood as economic incorporation, in a
context of increasing work precariousness. Special attention will
be given to the resilience of immigrants visible in their responses
to the labour market constraints, namely through their choices of
geographic (im)mobility and also the implementation of strategies
to ‘normalise’ their lives. Starting with a brief reference to the
meaning of integration in Portugal in a context of crisis, we draw
on data from two research projects, arguing that despite the
increased hardship, the resilience of foreign workers is
considerable and they still think it is worth coming to Portugal.
The strategies adopted may be either in situ or implying onward
migration, resulting from the combination of context
opportunities and individual agency. Factors like legal status,
education and having relatives abroad play a moderate role in
this process.
