Data & studies

Numbers before opinions. These four studies bring together data from INE, the Migration Observatory, Social Security, the RASI internal security report and other official sources on the role of immigration in Portugal.

Each study starts from one concrete question and puts the headline figure first, with the period it covers and the source it comes from. You can read them in the order shown or pick the theme that matters most to you: contribution to Social Security, the labour market, public safety and demography. At the end of each study you will find the list of sources consulted, so you can check the data at its origin. If you are preparing a conversation, a piece of writing or a decision and need facts rather than opinions, start with the study on your theme and follow the links to the full data.
