This book, part of the collection State of Emigration, presents summaries of the results of three major studies on Portuguese emigration, carried out between 2012 and 2015, in a period of great growth in the volume of exits in the context of economic and social crisis. The first, Back to the Future: The New Emigration and the Relationship with Portuguese Society, aimed to understand the size and new characteristics of Portuguese emigration in the 21st century. The second, Brain drain and academic mobility from Portugal to Europe (BRADRAMO), evaluated the reality of the “brain drain” in Portugal, namely its recent increase in this century. The third, Atlantic crossings. Materiality, contemporary movements and politics of belonging, analyzed the movements of people and material goods between Portugal and Brazil, a historical destination of Portuguese emigration, today with new attributes.

This text presents the main results of a research project entitled Back to the future. The new emigration and the relationship with Portuguese society (REMIGR), funded by FCT, which took place between 2013 and 2015. The main objective of the project was to understand the dimension and characteristics of the new movements of Portuguese emigration, highlighting, in particular, the relations that the new emigrants maintain with the country of origin. Based on a mixed method strategy, the study included the collection of national and international statistics, an online and paper survey, complemented by a set of interviews with experts and institutional representatives. The destination countries chosen were United Kingdom, France and Luxembourg, in the European Union, and Angola, Mozambique and Brazil, outside Europe.

3. Êxodo de competências e mobilidade académica de Portugal para a Europa
[Exodus of skills and academic mobility from Portugal to Europe]

The need for a deeper knowledge of the complexities of this phenomenon, the brain drain, and its increasing in Portugal were the big spur for the development this research. In order to capture this complex reality a mixed and multilateral methodology was used with quantitative and qualitative techniques for the characterization of push and pull factors. This study allowed us to identify trajectories of upward and downward social mobility based on the analysis of life projects, the differentiated socialization and the contrasting strategies of improving the educational capital.

4. Travessias do Atlântico: materialidade, movimentos contemporâneos e políticas de pertença
[Crossings of the Atlantic. Materiality, contemporary movements and politics of belonging]

 

The project Crossings of the Atlantic. Materiality, contemporary movements and politics of belonging, studied for three years the migratory flows between four major cities: Lisbon, Porto, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. This chapter aims to provide a set of descriptive data on the crossings made by Portuguese to the two Brazilian cities under study. It is assumed as a contribution to the sociographic characterization of this specific group of recent emigrants and seeks to position it in the light of the large and significant population of Portuguese origin that integrated previous migratory waves and settled in those two major metropolises.
