Portuguese Emigration Factbook 2015

Abstract

The Factbook consists of four chapters. The first chapter provides aggregated data on total Portuguese emigration, much of which is estimates, as well as comparative data on Portuguese and global emigration. The second chapter contains more detailed information on the four indicators of Portuguese emigration to the main destination countries: flows, stocks, citizenship, and consular records. The third chapter brings together the main information concerning remittances received in Portugal and sent from Portugal. The content of chapter four changes each year. In this first issue, the Factbook provides a chronological series on Portuguese emigration to all main destinations during the 21st century. Finally, the Factbook also contains basic information regarding the indicators and sources consulted (metadata and glossary).
