Nesta dissertação, procuramos analisar a evolução dos trabalhadores pobres em Portugal, realidade que tem vindo a ganhar relevância com as mutações no mercado de trabalho nos últimos anos, fragilizando os trabalhadores, e com a crescente consciencialização da sociedade para os problemas da desigualdade e da pobreza, que constituem graves constrangimentos ao desenvolvimento do país. Entendendo a pobreza no trabalho como um fenómeno particularmente injusto - dado que se reporta a cidadãos que, apesar de contribuírem com o seu trabalho para a sociedade, não têm condições de vida que lhes permitam escapar à pobreza - procuramos desenhar um perfil dos trabalhadores pobres em Portugal, descortinar as causas e principais fatores que levam a que o fenómeno se manifeste, bem como medidas políticas que possam combater a pobreza no trabalho, como componente da política mais geral de combate à pobreza e à exclusão social.
In this dissertation, we aim to analyse the evolution of the working poor in Portugal, a reality that has been increasing its relevancy, with the changes in the labour market in the recent years, weakening the workers, and with the growing consciousness on society for the problems of inequality and poverty, that constitute serious constraints to the country's development. Considering the in-work poverty as a phenomenon particularly unfair - since it's reported to citizens that, despite contributing with their work to society, don't have the living conditions that allow them to escape poverty - we seek to draw a profile of the working poor in Portugal, find the causes and main factors that lead to the phenomenon, as well as political measures that can fight in-work poverty, as a component to the broader policy against poverty and social exclusion.
