Abstract

Portugueses emigration is not a recent fact but has always been present in the Portuguese society whose evolution has become stronger at the end of the XIXth century and during the third quarter of the XX century. Economic reasons, among others of social, religious and political nature, are the main cause for the large Portuguese diaspora in the five continents.
