I really don't have enough numbers to single out a cause, but I have the feeling there isn't a single cause. Even if more housing were built, the job market was never really that good in Portugal, compared to central Europe. I wouldn't blame immigrants, but I would blame the government for not doing enough for young Portuguese. The average age in Portugal is quite high; just as with Italy maybe it is difficult to find dinamicity within an aging population. It could even be that this is the best option possible.
