Brazil is the country with the largest and oldest tradition of Portuguese emigration, although in regression since the 1960s. After a century beginning around 500 entries per year, in 2010 Brazil became more attractive to the Portuguese, with an increase of 93% over the previous year. Brazil's economic growth in the first decade of the century, and the financial crisis together with the Troika's intervention in Portugal, may be factors that explain the growth of Portuguese emigration to this country, which peaked in 2013, with a value of approximately 3,000 entries. Comparing three waves of Portuguese emigration to Brazil, there is a progressive increase in the schooling of Portuguese emigrants, with a recent emigration where qualified activities predominate among those arriving in the first decade of the century.
