Benefits of migration as a personal strategy in Nazare, Portugal.
"This article analyzes the causes, patterns and results of involvement in international wage labor migration for Nazare, a Portuguese fishing village and tourist resort.  Some migrate permanently, others return to invest locally, and yet others only work abroad part of each year.  Data indicate that international migration is a successful strategy for coping with a restrictive local opportunity structure.  International migrants have more income, savings, capital goods, consumer goods and automobiles than non-migrants or those who only migrate within Portugal."
