No. Portugal is a (atm) an radically aging country, it is rife with corruption and politics are poorly led. Brain drain is massive. Employment is extremely difficult for both the jobseeker and the employer due to poor competitiveness, low productivity and terrible regulation. Healthcare systems have been dropping off a cliff.
IMO going the direction of a dying country. And I am Portuguese.
Virtually anyone I know with a good skill set that’s profitable abroad has moved.
- mig39 5y agoYes, everyone I know, in my age range, has moved to France, Switzerland, Canada, etc. We all want to retire in Portugal, but it seems there are few employment opportunities unless you know the right people. I'm sure "retirement" is the only growth industry in Portugal these days.
- mdp2021 5y agoAlso in order to retire somewhere - in order to stay anywhere outside a period of "apnea" -, you will want to find there that «good sense and reliability» mentioned ("reliability" as in "you can place trust in the policymakers and in the population in general", or what lets you avoid passing your time in the uneasiness of a "what insanity will they commit next". Some European countries have demonstrated quite an amount of perverse """creativity""", in the recent times. "Reliability" also means, conversely, that you can trust that policies will be issued to guarantee fair justice to defend the population against abuse - the thread is relevant). Posters seem to say that Portugal has highs and lows. There should be a general balance anyway. I have been concerned for a long time about which territories have remained more solid in said terms of "good sense".
