Abstract(s)
Resiliência é a capacidade de um indivíduo, uma comunidade, uma sociedade ou um sistema de recuperar-se de uma situação adversa. Vulnerabilidade é sensibilidade ou suscetibilidade a riscos e danos. Com base nesses conceitos, estudou-se as populações migrantes brasileiras e cabo-verdianas que estão a residir em Portugal e como elas foram impactadas pela crise pandêmica do COVID-19. Partindo da hipótese que os migrantes estão entre os grupos sociais mais vulneráveis à perda de oportunidades econômicas, despejo e falta de moradia, além da estigmatização e exclusão de serviços essenciais, o presente trabalho procura averiguar, à luz dos estudos de resiliência e vulnerabilidade, como é que os imigrantes que residem em Portugal, particularmente as comunidades brasileira e cabo-verdiana, vivenciaram a crise associada à epidemia de COVID-19 e ao confinamento. Nesta pesquisa, a abordagem quantitativa é predominante, mas são igualmente utilizadas algumas técnicas qualitativas. Conclui-se que os fatores de vulnerabilidade se sobrepõem aos fatores de resiliência no conjunto das duas amostras populacionais estudadas, corroborando o que a literatura acadêmica e os organismos internacionais têm ressaltado no que tange à vulnerabilidade dos migrantes em múltiplos domínios.
Resilience is the ability of an individual, a community, a society or a system to recover from an adverse situation. Vulnerability is the sensitivity or susceptibility to risk and damage. Based on these concepts, we studied the Brazilian and Cabo Verdean migrant populations that are residing in Portugal and how they were impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. The hypothesis of this study is that migrants are part of the social group that is most vulnerable to the loss of economic opportunities, eviction, homelessness and, consequently, to the stigmatization and exclusion from essential public services. Therefore, this research aims to identify, in the light of resilience and vulnerability's literature, how immigrants living in Portugal, particularly the Brazilian and Cabo Verdean communities, experienced the crisis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown. With regards to research methods, the quantitative approach is predominant, but some qualitative techniques are also used. It is concluded that the vulnerability factors overlap the resilience factors in the set of the two population samples studied, corroborating what the academic literature and international organizations have emphasized regarding the vulnerability of migrants in multiple domains.
