Portuguese emigration to Australia is, above all, a phenomenon of the second half of the 20th century. Currently with 18 thousand individuals, it is undergoing a process of decline and aging, with an insufficient volume of entries to combat the ongoing processes. Although there is a greater presence of men compared to women, there is a tendency towards balance between the sexes. The vast majority of the population lives in the states of New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. This is a population with medium to low qualifications, the majority of whom are in the job market. Their main occupations are technicians and other tradespeople, labourers, professionals, managers, clerical and administrative workers, community and personal service workers, machinery operators and drivers and, finally, salespeople. It is a predominantly Catholic population and is mostly made up of couples with children.
