Fixed-Term Contracts on the Rise
In 2022, over one million workers in Portugal were employed under fixed-term contracts, predominantly in the private sector. This represented just under a third of the total employment. However, the situation is markedly different in certain municipalities of the Algarve and Costa Vicentina, where the prevalence of temporary contracts exceeds 50%.
In Odemira, the rate of fixed-term contracts reached a staggering 68%, while in Albufeira, it stood at 58%. This trend raises important questions about job security and employment practices in these regions.
