Resumen

CARVALHO, Bruno P.; ESTEVES, Mariana  y  PERALTA, Susana. Security and inequality: evidence from Portugal. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2022, n.esp2022, pp.63-91.  Epub 31-Dic-2022. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2022.sia05.

This paper analyses human security in Portugal, and how it interact with inequality. We use representative survey data to discuss the individual determinants of several dimensions of human security that go beyond the narrow conception of the absence of physical threats, into a multidimensional perspective, encompassing environmental security, and living conditions. Albeit Portugal is one of the safest countries in the world, we document that women, low income groups, the elderly and younger people often feel less safe. We show, however, that in a broader perspective, Portugal fares less well, as income, food, housing and health security are, in many cases, higher in the country than in many other European Union countries.

Palabras clave : human security; inequality; Portugal; European Union.
