Abstract
In this paper, we proposed to examine the Portuguese emigration between the 1960s
and 2000s, with special attention to the data after 1991, when Portugal signed the
Schengen Agreement. To understand the changes that occurred in the Portuguese emigration over the
decades, we studied the migration policies in the European Union and assess their
influence on the new features of Portuguese emigrants.
