Resumo(s)
In the last decade the geography of
immigration to Portugal has undergone
profound change. In particular there has been
a diversification of sending countries, and
Eastern Europe, especially the Ukraine,
Moldova, Romania and Russia, has become a
major origin of migrants. The majority have
settled in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area, but
there is dispersal to all parts of the country.
This paper examines recent immigration
trends to small towns and rural areas in
Portugal and discusses its effects on regional
development. The study is based upon the
analysis of official data sources and interviews
carried out in municipalities located in the
Alentejo region. This region remains rural
with a significant ageing population and is
undergoing a process of demographic decline.
Following the analysis of the settlement
patterns and the integration of immigrants in
the labour market, some remarks are made
about future trends of immigration to rural
regions experiencing population loss, and its
impacts upon the regional development
process.
