Abstract(s)
Ever since 2005, there has been an intensification in the outflows of Portuguese
nationals, characterized by the transformation in the institutional context in
which they occur, the emergence new destination countries, and the
simultaneous resurgence of flows to traditional destinations. This article,
applying data gathered from France and the UK, enhances the
comprehension of contemporary Portuguese intra-EU migratory flows. It
shows how this emigration is characterized by continuities and discontinuities
with previous flows and by similarities and dissimilarities in the socio
demographic characteristics of emigrants and their migratory paths and
strategies. One proportion of these flows emerges as qualitatively different
from past economic migration flows as regards both migrant demographic
features and their migration processes. We may ascribe another proportion to
the traditional economic migration framework that has enabled migrants to
extend their opportunity structure beyond the national context in response to
the obstructions experienced within national borders.
