A recent study revealed that 75% of Portuguese people consider low incomes as the main cause of precariousness. This data highlights the widespread perception of the population about the economic difficulties faced in the country.
According to the study, 42% of Portuguese workers cannot cover all expenses with their professional income. This value is above the European average, which is 34%, demonstrating that Portugal faces particularly significant challenges in terms of purchasing power and financial sustainability of workers.
The data reveals a relevant disparity between Portugal and the rest of the European context. While the European Union average stands at 34%, Portugal presents a percentage eight points higher, reflecting a greater economic vulnerability of the Portuguese working class.
