  • 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…

  • Social security systems faced with multiple challenges

    Open AccessJorge Caleiras, Maria Clara OliveiraARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social Security2025References: 24

    Social security systems face old and new challenges, which are often entangled. Swift reforms are therefore required, to strengthen systems and ensure their fairness and ability to respond to multiple eventualities. Taking a broad institutional and multidisciplinary perspective, this article discusses the Portuguese social security system, in the context of the pandemic and inflation crises which hit the country while it was still recovering from…

  • Proteção Social E Precariedade Laboral Em Portugal

    Open AccessRodrigo Vieira Assis, Renato Miguel Carmo et al.ARTICLECaderno CRH2025

    Este artigo analisa as representações sociais partilhadas por trabalhadores precários acerca do sistema de segurança social em Portugal. Explora-se a hipótese de que a precarização do mundo do trabalho, acentuada no decurso da crise financeira de 2008 e da pandemia de Covid-19, afetou os significados da proteção social no emprego, sobretudo para os trabalhadores vulneráveis. Com base na análise de conteúdo de 53 entrevistas em profundidade conduz…

  • Trajectories of precariousness of tuk-tuk drivers in Portugal

    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

    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…

  • 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…

  • Nas margens do emprego, no centro da pandemia

    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…

  • Do desemprego à pobreza? Trajectórias, experiências e enfrentamentos

    Open AccessJorge CaleirasARTICLEe-cadernos CES2008References: 5

    O texto apresenta alguns resultados, ainda provisórios, de uma investigação em curso, cujo objectivo central passa por conhecer melhor as consequências pessoais do desemprego, em particular a relação deste com situações de pobreza. Embora estas duas realidades – desemprego e pobreza – não se sobreponham necessariamente, a verdade é que, com frequência, se encontram. Foi nesta ideia que se fundou a hipótese de partida – a de que o desemprego é ger…
