A portrait of Pordata on the labor market in Portugal, within the scope of May 1st, Labor Day, reveals that 17.4% of workers in the country have fixed-term contracts, above the European Union average (13.4%).
"In Portugal, one in six workers has a fixed-term contract, a ratio that has remained almost unchanged in the last 20 years", it 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 out of 27 in the European Union with the lowest proportion of part-time workers, since only eight out of every 100 workers are in a 'part-time' regime.
"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 in 'part-time'", points out Pordata, which notes that in the Netherlands and Austria more than half of employed women work in this regime.
