We, the Portuguese: A future to chart

53 min
Watch the episode

Being born in Portugal at the beginning of 2020 meant inheriting the third largest public debt in Europe. In the future, will the country be closer or further away from the centre of the world? Will technology help us overcome geography? Will education and immigration be an antidote to the impacts of debt and an increasingly aging population?

It's been 46 years since the end of dictatorship in Portugal. Four decades of discovery and trial and error have converged to produce the present context in which we now find ourselves and which we pass down to future generations.

Hear perspectives on Portugal’s future in the latest instalment of "We, the Portuguese", a series from the Foundation to commemorate 10 years of Pordata.
