It is to have, together, the population equivalent to the 1.5 million people that Portugal lost to emigration, with five in ten people from generation Z (14-29 years old) ) to admit that they are likely or very likely to emigrate. We are the country in the world with the highest percentage of emigrants, according to a study by the Business Roundtable Portugal Association (partner of this project) and Deloitte, and of the 875 thousand Portuguese who emigrated between 2011 and 2021, only 132 thousand returned, which is one in seven, with 61% of emigrants not thinking about returning.
