Metrópoles em crise
| Summary: | In the last few years, European countries and its citizens have suffered from the severe impact of the financial and economic crisis, caused by a combination of international and national factors. In Portugal, the crisis has led to a number of consequences, such as the rise in unemployment, wage and social benefit cuts, tax hikes, and the impoverishment of different population groups, particularly the most vulnerable, largely concentrated in the urban areas. The research presented in this paper focuses firstly on Portugal at a national level, in 2007 and 2014, followed by an analysis at the metropolitan level, based on indicator figures, intended to explore social vulnerability in two territorial units (Functional Region of Porto and Functional Region of Lisbon). The dynamics in times of crisis (2007 and 2014) are analysed, illustrated by the two profiles of social vulnerability identified. |
