SAPO Notícias10 September 2026 at 04:00

Low incomes are identified as the main cause of precariousness by 75% of Portuguese people, revealing a strong link between the financial situation and the living conditions of the population in Portugal.

At the European level, three in every ten Europeans live with financial difficulties, showing that this reality is not limited to Portugal but affects a significant part of the continent's population.

Insufficient wages also emerge as a dominant problem in Romania and France, suggesting that precariousness related to low incomes is a cross-cutting issue across several European countries.
