The latest data from INE (1st quarter of 2023) shows an increase in salaries in the private sector and a loss of purchasing power in the public sector. Frederico Cantante, a researcher at CoLABOR, commented on the latest available data on RTP3's 360 programme and addressed some of the issues that explain the evolution of pay in Portugal, namely the country's economic specialization profile, wage inequalities and internal disproportion, collective bargaining and the scope of unionization.

This webinar presents the main conclusions of the CoLABOR study "Wages in Portugal: patterns of evolution, inflation and inequalities", by researchers Frederico Cantante and Pedro Estêvão.
