According to the available data, Portugal is today the country of the European Union with more emigrants in proportion to its resident population. The number of Portuguese emigrants exceeds two million, which means that about 20% of Portuguese live outside the country in which they were born. The 2014 edition of the Factbook brings together a chronological series on Portuguese emigration to the main destination countries covering the entire twenty-first century.
