Esta dissertação explora as consequências da imigração laboral na economia portuguesa, no contexto de um panorama global de crescente mobilidade internacional. O recente aumento significativo dos fluxos migratórios em Portugal obriga a um estudo compreensivo, de forma a que seja possível entender os seus impactos económicos e sociais. O principal objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os efeitos da imigração no mercado de trabalho português, considerando aspetos como a produtividade, os salários e o crescimento económico. Para tal, foi utilizada uma metodologia assente numa revisão aprofundada da literatura existente, incluindo estudos teóricos e empíricos sobre o caso português, bem como de outros países. Estudos realizados com dados de outros países da OCDE evidenciam que a imigração pode contribuir positivamente para o crescimento económico e para a sustentabilidade do sistema de segurança social, particularmente num contexto de envelhecimento populacional. Contudo, fatores como a pressão descendente nos salários de trabalhadores menos qualificados e a falta de complementaridade da força de trabalho imigrante face à força de trabalho nativa podem colocar em causa as possíveis vantagens da imigração para o país recetor. No entanto, a análise sugere que, apesar de uma perceção pública por vezes negativa, os benefícios económicos da imigração tendem a superar as desvantagens associadas à mesma. Conclui-se que a imigração pode ser um fator determinante para o desenvolvimento económico de Portugal, desde que seja gerida de forma equilibrada e estratégica, nomeadamente através da adoção de políticas públicas que maximizem a integração dos imigrantes e através do incentivo à entrada de imigrantes no país com características complementares às da população nativa.
This dissertation explores the consequences of labour immigration on the Portuguese economy within the context of a global landscape of increasing international mobility. The recent significant rise in migratory flows to Portugal demands a comprehensive study to understand its economic and social impacts. The primary objective of this research is to analyse the effects of immigration on the Portuguese labour market, focusing on aspects such as productivity, wages, and economic growth. To achieve this, the study employs a methodology based on an in-depth review of existing literature, including both theoretical and empirical studies on the Portuguese case, as well as other countries. Research conducted using data from other OECD countries highlights that immigration can contribute positively to economic growth and the sustainability of social security systems, particularly in the context of an ageing population. However, factors such as downward pressure on the wages of less skilled workers and the lack of complementarity between immigrant and native labour forces may challenge the potential advantages of immigration for the host country. Nevertheless, the analysis suggests that, despite occasionally negative public perceptions, the economic benefits of immigration tend to outweigh the associated disadvantages. It is concluded that immigration can be a key driver of Portugal’s economic development, provided it is managed in a balanced and strategic manner. This includes the adoption of public policies that maximise immigrant integration and encourage the entry of immigrants whose characteristics complement those of the native population
