description | The present article analyses the migratory flows that have developed after the announced ‘end of Portuguese emigration’. It is argued that despite a political discourse and a research practice that tended to manifest a clear disinterest in the outflow of Portuguese nationals, this remains an important option for thousands of Portuguese that regard emigration as a valid and attractive option to overcome the constraints they face in the national labour market. In the prosecution of this objective, recent Portuguese emigration to Switzerland – one of the main migratory flows that have developed after the mid 80’s – is used to illustrate the ongoing emigration flows. |
