- Des-homogeneizar os ciganos portugueses: perfis sociais e heterogeneidade sócio-culturalPublication . Mendes, Maria Manuela; Magano, Olga; Candeias, PedroCom o objetivo de esboçar um retrato nacional sobre as pessoas ciganas em Portugal foi elaborado um estudo que conciliou uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa e quantitativa (análise documental; entrevistas em profundidade; método Delphi; inquéritos por questionário a autarquias locais, a pessoas ciganas e a especialistas, tais como investigadores, mediadores e técnicos de intervenção social). Este artigo visa apresentar os principais resultados de um inquérito por questionário a pessoas ciganas e discutir as continuidades e diferenciações sociais entre os ciganos através da análise multivariada e utilização do método de Delphi, tendo sido possível definir alguns perfis sociais, de acordo com a idade, escolaridade e ocupação dos inquiridos, que nos levam a questionar o uso acrítico da categoria “Ciganos” que tem efeitos homogeneizadores e essencialistas.
- Before and now: the labour situation of clients in a therapeutic communityPublication . Henriques, Susana; Candeias, PedroThis article aims to identify changes in the work situation among problematic drug users (PDU) clients of an international therapeutic community located in Portugal, after the completion of treatment. In this article, we analyse these changes on the assumption that entry to the labour market is essential for effective social reintegration. To achieve our aim, we carried out a pilot study with an analysis of the administrative records of a therapeutic community and then held telephone interviews with 63 former clients. Different work-related factors were compared, with special attention being paid to the changes registered. We concluded that, after reatment, although there was greater instability, educational qualifications and the number of PDU employees with an occupation increased. There was a decrease in factory workers and an increase in administrative functions. First jobs were obtained via a more formal channel, while the most recent ones were obtained on own initiative. This leads to the conclusion that after an initial period of greater difficulties the PDU participants in this study manage to gain higher autonomy and better integration into the labour market.

- Social and spatial continuities and differentiations among Portuguese ciganos: regional profilesPublication . Mendes, Maria Manuela; Magano, Olga; Candeias, PedroThe coexistence of people and societies marked by ethnic, social, cultural, religious and linguistic diversity is a subject that still generates controversies in contemporary societies. The “Ciganos’ situation” is an unavoidable issue that crosses the boundaries of different European countries, which leads to controversy and ambivalence in the so-called multicultural and/or intercultural societies characterised by the principle of universalism. In Portugal, despite the social and economic transformations that have occurred, the problems of exclusion and poverty among Ciganos persist. They are still considered the poorest ethnic group, with the worst housing conditions, lest schooling and the main target of racism and discrimination. The Portuguese Ciganos are not a homogeneous community. The diversity and plurality are not always easy to grasp by the glare generated by the adoption of interpretive perspectives that are reductively linear and deterministic of the Portuguese Ciganos. For the purpose of outlining a national picture of Portuguese Ciganos, a national study was developed that combines both qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches. The central goal of this article is to present the main results obtained through a questionnaire survey carried out to Ciganos persons and to discuss the social and spatial continuities and differentiations among Ciganos in Portugal.
