Portugal is a fairly homogeneous country linguistically and religiously. Ethnically, the [[Portuguese people]] are mainly a combination of pre-Roman Iberian [[Celts|Celtic]] tribes, [[Lusitanians]] and others, with a fair amount of [[Ancient Rome|Roman]], [[Germanic peoples|Germanic]] ([[Visigoths]] and [[Suevi]]) and some minor elements, essentially [[Arab]]-[[Berbers]], and [[Jews]]. Furthermore the demographic development is characterized by three trends: increasing longevity, decreasing birth rates and an increasing percentage of population from foreign extraction. Today, many [[Eastern Europe|Eastern Europeans]] (especially [[Ukraine|Ukrainians]], [[Moldavia|Moldavians]], [[Romania|Romanians]] and [[Russia|Russians]]), as well as [[Brazil]]ians, are making Portugal their home. Portuguese is spoken throughout the country, with only the villages of [[Miranda do Douro]]'s [[Mirandese language|Mirandese]] language recognised as a locally co-official language. ==Urban organization== ===Metropolitan areas=== As of [[2001]] Census, Portugal had two significant agglomerations: Lisbon Metropolitan Region and Northern Littoral Urban-Metropolitan Region (or Porto Metropolitan Agglomeration).<ref name="tgv">Fernando Nunes da Silva (2005), [http://www.rave.pt/pdf/Mobilidade%20e%20Desenvolvimento%20Regional.pdf Alta Velocidade em Portugal, Desenvolvimento Regional], CENSUR, IST</ref> These broader agglomerations are distinct from the political metropolitan areas of [[Lisbon]] and [[Porto]] - ''[[Grande Área Metropolitana de Lisboa]]'' and ''[[Grande Área Metropolitana do Porto]]''. Together they hold 58% of the total population. {| class="wikitable" style="border: black 1px fixed"| !Image!!City!!Agglomeration!!Metropolitan area!!Core municipality |- ||[[image:Lisboa_-_Expo98_-_Vista_Geral.jpg|250px]] ||'''[[Lisbon]]''' ||3.34 million<ref name="tgv"/> ||2,641,006 ||564,657 |- ||[[Image:Porto Ribeira.jpg|250px]] ||'''[[Porto]]''' ||2.99 million<ref name="tgv"/> ||1,551,950 ||238,954 |} ===Largest cities=== Portugal has 151 localities with [[city]] (''cidade'') status. Every city is included into a municipality (''[[município]]''). This is a list of population by city, which means that it refers to the number of inhabitants in the city proper, excluding inhabitants from the same municipality but living outside the urban area of the city in other civil parishes (''[[freguesias]]'') of the municipality. In some cases, the entire municipality and the city proper cover the same territory.<ref>[http://62.48.187.117/atlas/Cap2/Cap2d_2.html UMA POPULAÇÃO QUE SE URBANIZA, Uma avaliação recente - Cidades,

Portugal, long a country of emigration, has now become a country of net immigration, and not just from the former [[Portuguese India|India]]n and [[Portuguese-speaking African countries|Africa]]n [[Portuguese empire|colonies]]. Today, many [[Eastern Europe|Eastern Europeans]] (especially [[Ukraine|Ukrainians]], [[Moldavia|Moldavians]], [[Romania|Romanians]] and [[Russia|Russians]]), as well as [[Brazil]]ians, are making Portugal their home. There is a small number of [[Han Chinese|Chinese]]. ===Ethnic Minorities and persons with disabilities=== {{see also|Racism in Portugal}} [[Anti-racism]] laws prohibit and penalize racial [[discrimination]] in [[house|housing]], [[business]], and [[health]] services. Approximately 500,000 legal immigrants live in the country, representing approximately 5% of the population. The country also has a resident [[Roma people|Roma]] population of approximately 50,000 people. Discrimination against persons with disabilities in employment, education, access to health care, or the provision of other [[state services]] is illegal. The law mandates access to public buildings and to newly-built private buildings for such persons. ===Sexual Orientation=== Homosexuality was decriminalized in [[1982]]. Same-sex civil unions with limited partner rights were introduced in Portugal in [[15 March]] [[2001]]. Portugal is one of a few countries in the world, and one of the first, with anti-discrimination laws that exist in most fields: in the Constitution (discrimination based on sexual orientation is prohibited by law), in the Penal Code as well as the Labour Code. In spite of this, same-sex marriage with full equal rights as well as adoption by same-sex couples are not allowed. It is possible, however, that these issues will be debated in parliament if the present Government wins the next elections. ===Religion=== {{main|Religion in Portugal}} The great majority of the Portuguese population belongs to the [[Catholic Church in Portugal|Roman Catholic Church]]. Religious observance remains somewhat strong in northern areas, with the population of Lisbon and southern areas generally less devout. Religious minorities include a little over 300,000 [[Protestantism|Protestants]]. There are also about 50,000 [[Muslims]] and 10,000 [[Hindu]]s. Most of them came from [[Goa]], a former [[Portuguese Empire|Portuguese colony]] on the west coast of [[India]] (Some Muslims also came from former Portuguese African colonies with important Muslim minorities: [[Guinea-Bissau]], [[Mozambique]], and [[São Tomé and Príncipe]]). There are also about 1,000 [[Jew]]s. Portugal is also home to less than 10,000 [[Buddhism|Buddhists]], mostly Chinese from Macau and a few Indians from Goa. ===Literacy=== :''definition:age 15 and over can read and write'' :''total population:'' 93.3% :''male:'' 95.5% :''female:'' 91.3% (2003 est.) ==Statistics== [[Image:Portugal-demography.png|thumb|400px|Left|Portugal population 1961-2003, Number of inhabitants in thousands, (2005 Data from [[FAO]])]] ===Population=== :10,048,232 (July 2000 est.) :10,102,022 (July 2003 est.) :10,524,145 (July 2004 est.) :10,566,212 (July 2005 est.) :10,605,870 (July 2006 est.) :10,642,836 (July 2007 est.) ===Age structure=== :0-14 years: 16.5% (male 914,480/female 837,525) :15-64 years: 66.3% (male 3,501,206/female 3,551,706) :65 years and over: 17.3% (male 757,220/female 1,080,699) (2007 est.) ===Population growth rate=== :0.18% (2000 est.) :0.17% (2003 est.) :0.41% (2004 est.) :0.39% (2005 est.) :0.36% (2006 est.) :0.334% (2007 est.) ===Birth rate=== :11.49 births/1,000 population (2000 est.) :11.45 births/1,000 population (2003 est.) :10.9 births/1,000 population (2004 est.) :10.82 births/1,000 population (2005 est.) :10.72 births/1,000 population (2006 est.) :10.59 births/1,000 population (2007 est.) ===Death rate=== :10.2 deaths/1,000 population (2000 est.) :10.21 deaths/1,000 population (2003 est.) :10.37 deaths/1,000 population (2004 est.) :10.43 deaths/1,000 population (2005 est.) :10.5 deaths/1,000 population (2006 est.) :10.56 deaths/1,000 population (2007 est.) ===Net migration rate=== :0.5 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2000 est.) :0.49 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2003 est.) :3.57 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2004 est.) :3.49 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2005 est.) :3.4 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2006 est.) :3.31 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2007 est.) ===Sex ratio=== :at birth: 1.07 male(s)/female :under 15 years: 1.092 male(s)/female :15-64 years: 0.986 male(s)/female :65 years and over: 0.701 male(s)/female :total population: 0.946 male(s)/female (2007 est.) ===Infant mortality rate=== :6.05 deaths/1,000 live births (2000 est.) :5.73 deaths/1,000 live births (2003 est.) :5.13 deaths/1,000 live births (2004 est.) :5.05 deaths/1,000 live births (2005 est.) :4.98 deaths/1,000 live births (2006 est.) :4.92 deaths/1,000 live births (2007 est.) ===Life expectancy at birth=== :total population: 77.87 years :male: 74.6 years :female: 81.36 years (2007 est.) ===Total fertility rate=== :1.47 children born/woman (2000 est.) :1.49 children born/woman (2003 est.) :1.46 children born/woman (2004 est.) :1.47 children born/woman (2005 est.) :1.49 children born/woman (2008 est.) ==References== <!-- Please see [[Wikipedia:References]] for an elaborate guide on how to add references to this section. --> <div class="references-small"> <references /> </div> ==See also== *[[Demographic history of Portugal]] {{Life in Portugal}} {{Demographics of Europe}} [[Category:Portuguese society]] [[Category:Demographics by country|Portugal]] [[be:Насельніцтва Партугаліі]] [[es:Demografía de Portugal]] [[fr:Démographie du Portugal]] [[pt:Demografia de Portugal]] [[ro:Demografia Portugaliei]] [[ru:Население Португалии]] [[fi:Portugalin väestö]]
