Emigração e habitação: quem não tem casa, casa com a Ryanair

The article discusses the ongoing trend of Portuguese emigration, highlighting that the number of Portuguese living abroad has increased since the 1970s. Factors driving this trend include economic stagnation, austerity measures, and particularly the rising cost of housing. The median rent has significantly increased, with Lisbon's rents consuming a large portion of household income. Young people are particularly affected, often leaving home later than their European peers due to financial constraints. The article emphasizes that current emigration is driven by economic factors rather than political oppression, contrasting it with past waves of migration. It calls for recognition of this issue as a serious concern rather than a mere trend.
