A Pordata portrait of the labor market in Portugal, as part of May 1st, Labor Day, reveals that 17.4% of workers in the country have a fixed-term contract, above the European Union average (13.4%).

“In Portugal, one in every six workers has a fixed-term contract, a ratio that has remained almost unchanged over the last 20 years”, he points out.

Among the countries with the highest percentage of fixed-term contracts are Serbia and the Netherlands.

On the other hand, Portugal is the 10th country of the 27 in the European Union with the lowest proportion of part-time workers, as only eight out of every 100 workers are part-time.

“Looking only at Portuguese women who are employed, only one in 10 does so part-time. It is the 9th country in the EU27 with the lowest percentage of women employed ‘part-time'”, points out Pordata, which points out that in the Netherlands and Austria more than half of employed women work under this scheme.
