A report by Banco de Portugal finds that immigrants aged 29–46 rely less on unemployment benefits and pensions than Portuguese citizens, spending 4.5% of their time on support compared with 7% among natives. Between 2010 and 2024, they were employed 95.5% of the time. Most work as employees, while 22% are self-employed and over 7% hold managerial roles. The lowest reliance on benefits is seen among migrants from North Africa, Asia and Latin America. Nationals of Brazil, Ukraine, Moldova and Russia claim support more often, but still below native levels. Family presence reduces departure risk by 68%, though many may leave if conditions worsen. In 2025, contributions to Segurança Social exceeded €4bn, generating over €3bn in net gains. Material taken from https://t.me/s/lepta
