  • Spatial and social inequalities among young people: Looking for ‘site effects’

    This study explores the relationship between spatial and social inequalities affecting young people. The objective is to analyse this relationship considering the circumstances of young people and to ascertain to what extent favourable social conditions associated with living in the most relevant and dynamic cities are an expression of ‘site effects’. The study is based on a questionnaire with responses from over 5000 young people. In order to ga…

  • Os pés na terra, o futuro no ar: Os jovens Neef rurais em Portugal e as políticas aspiracionais na UE

    Open AccessBernardo Fernandes, Bernardo Mançano [UNESP] Fernandes et al.ARTICLESociologia Problemas e Práticas2026

    As crises recorrentes afetam mais intensamente os jovens, em particular aqueles que estão fora dos sistemas educativos e formativos e do mercado de trabalho (NEEF). Neste artigo analisamos alguns dos fatores de risco que contribuem para explicar a prevalência de jovens NEEF nos territórios rurais, focando o caso português. Comparamos estas dimensões com os indicadores de referência do Pilar Europeu dos Direitos Sociais (PEDS) e discutimos a verti…

    This thematic issue focuses on the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) amid a context of polycrisis.

This editorial emphasizes how the different articles in this issue address E…

  • The Erosion of the Portuguese Minimum Income Protection Scheme

    Open AccessLuís Manso, Renato Miguel Carmo et al.ARTICLESocial Inclusion2025Cited by: 1References: 4

    While minimum income protection (MIP) is central on a European level, as demonstrated by the European Pillar of Social Rights, national policies display huge variations, reflecting different domestic guidelines and political and socio‐economic dynamics. The literature has shown that the adequacy of MIPs and their role in social protection systems varies significantly, not only between countries but also over time. However, as most studies adopt l…

  • Socio-Spatial Vulnerabilities, Peripheralization and Post-Crises Resilience: Lessons From the Portuguese Case

    Open AccessRenato Miguel Carmo, Hugo Pinto et al.ARTICLESociologia Ruralis2025References: 25

    Existing socio-spatial vulnerabilities in the pre-pandemic moment led to different impacts of COVID-19 on territories, reinforcing ongoing processes of peripheralization. This article develops a new approach to understand the linkages between socio-spatial vulnerabilities and the socio-economic impacts of this crisis. Using data from Portuguese municipalities, a typology of vulnerable territories is defined based on the degree of potential exposu…

  • Trajectories of precariousness of tuk-tuk drivers in Portugal: A case study

    Open AccessIsabel Roque, Renato Miguel Carmo et al.ARTICLEWork Organisation Labour &…2024

    In the aftermath of the Great Recession, the gig economy expanded in Portugal as an alternative form of income generation to overcome the accumulation crisis, especially in the tourism sector. One component of this, less well studied than platform labour in the delivery and accommodation sectors, was the introduction of tuk-tuks, or auto-rickshaws for passenger transport, using a hybrid business model combining a face-to-face approach on the stre…

  • The politics of social policies in Portugal: Different responses in times of crises

    Open AccessJorge Caleiras, Renato Miguel CarmoARTICLESocial Policy and Administration2024Cited by: 1References: 21

    Portugal has been confronted with a succession of crises in recent years. This article explores the differences in the way that, in Portugal, the welfare regime tackled the Great Recession context (financial, euro, sovereign debt, structural adjustment crises) and COVID‐19 crisis through very different policy responses. The fact that the governments in office acted differently when faced with realities that were close in time but very distinct, g…

  • Faces of Precarity: Critical Perspectives on Work, Subjectivities and Struggles

    Open AccessValeria Pulignano, Glenn Morgan et al.BOOKFaces of Precarity2022

    This chapter argues for a perspective on the study of precarious work which draws from earlier critical labour studies and feminist analyses of the role of domestic labour in the reproduction of capitalism in order to focus on the (micro-)social foundations of the (macro-) structural changes in the collective institutions, operations and outcomes of labour markets under neoliberalism. Especially, we point to the challenges that the fading away of…

  • Precarious Work and Intermittent Life Trajectories in a Portuguese Gig Economy

    Isabel Roque, Renato Miguel Carmo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Labor and Society2022Cited by: 1References: 16

    Rapid advances in technology brought dramatic changes into the labour market, regarding precarious, flexible and informal work. The gig economy has enabled new forms of labour exploitation, social exclusion, intermittent and vulnerable professional trajectories. Not having fully recovered from the Great Recession, the Portuguese society is crossing a Covid-19 global pandemic which has accelerated the digitalisation and platformisation of work fec…

    Open AccessJorge Caleiras, Renato Miguel Carmo et al.ARTICLERevista crítica de ciências…2022Cited by: 1References: 14

    A insegurança permanente e a desproteção social tornaram-se estruturais no mercado de trabalho. A pandemia de COVID-19 revelou e agudizou estes processos, que se encontram na origem da acumulação de múltiplas vulnerabilidades socioeconómicas, relacionais e existenciais. O período de confinamento conduziu a situações de estagnação laboral e as desigualdades e vulnerabilidades, ainda decorrentes da Grande Recessão, agravaram-se através da dicotomia…

  • Is the Covid‐19 pandemic accelerating the platformisation of the urban economy

    Open AccessDaniela Ferreira, Renato Miguel Carmo et al.ARTICLEArea2022Cited by: 2References: 29

    This paper shows that, while the pandemic lockdown decelerated everyday life, it has also potentiated further acceleration of the platformisation of urban economic sectors. We show this through an empirical qualitative study of the restaurant sector in Lisbon, in which we found that: (i) the digitalisation of three management tasks during the COVID‐19 lockdown – namely marketing, customer relationship management, and delivery tasks – was the trig…

  • The Cyberdivisions Produced by the Design of VGI under the Platform Economy: The Case of the Restaurant Sector in TripAdvisor

    Open AccessDaniela Ferreira, Mário Vales et al.ARTICLEISPRS International Journal of…2021

    There is increasing concern regarding the inequalities produced by digital platforms based on volunteered geographic information (VGI). Several forms of inequalities have been observed, namely the unequal spatial coverage and the uneven levels of usage even in territories with good coverage. However, VGI platforms under the logic of platform economy have generated other forms of spatial inequality that require more attention. The cyberspace withi…

    This article aims to provide a more detailed conception of the production of urban digital divides by VGI platforms in the context of the platform economy, through the articulation of the first (access and coverage), second (usage and skills) and third (outcomes) level of the digital divide. Our conceptual approach departs from a discussion of the geographical consequences of the different levels of the digital divide, focusing on their applicati…

  • The weight of time and the unemployment experience: Daily life and future prospects

    Open AccessRenato Miguel Carmo, Maria Madalena D’avelarARTICLECurrent Sociology2021Cited by: 1References: 26

    In individual terms, unemployment situations cause both a destructuring of daily life practices and a loss of resources and socioeconomic conditions that were previously taken for granted. This is a vulnerable situation that results simultaneously in forms of disaffiliation and social disqualification, with consequences in the rise of poverty and social inequality. Unemployed people live the present in a state of constant uncertainty that makes i…

  • Social inequalities and collective action in times of crisis: The case of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area

    Renato Miguel Carmo, Nuno Nunes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Civil Society2019References: 24

    During the international financial crisis, Portugal found itself in a very difficult and vulnerable socioeconomic situation that has led to an increase in social inequalities. This article seeks to understand two things: firstly, how much the impacts of the crisis contributed to a general perception that people's social position has gone backwards, compared to their pre-crisis situations; secondly, whether it is possible to link this generalized …

    O objetivo central deste artigo é desenvolver uma interpretação e uma compreensão do fenómeno político-social da austeridade nas suas relações com a instauração de um regime social de existência precária que se abateu, a partir de 2008, sobre Portugal e alguns países da Europa. Deste propósito resultam outros dois objetivos parcelares: por um lado, pretende-se caracterizar este processo como um regime social da precariedade nas suas condições exi…
