Foreigners' social security contributions increased to 365.4 million

In April, contributions to the Portuguese social security system from foreign nationals increased by 10.7%. This rise is likely attributed to an increase in seasonal work in sectors such as agriculture and hospitality. The growth reflects a trend of higher participation by non-citizens in the labor market, which has implications for the country’s social security finances and workforce dynamics. The article notes this development but does not provide further context or analysis.
