Portugal an Anglo-Saxon Economy??

[JohnSmith]

Which countries does it list as Anglo-Saxon?

Anglo-Saxon countries (Ireland, the UK, Malta, Cyprus). In Anglo-Saxon
countries, unemployment insurance benefits are relatively modest, while
unemployment assistance is a relevant means-tested instrument to provide
income protection to the unemployed. Expenditure on means tested full time
unemployment benefits often exceeds non-means tested unemployment
benefits. While unemployment traps are not a major issue, benefit dependency
is a risk on account of nearly flat-rate and long-lasting unemployment
assistance. To counter benefit dependency, monitoring of job-search activity is
strict whilst active labour market policies play a less important role.

Southern countries (Spain, Italy, Portugal). The generosity of unemployment
insurance generosity varies widely depending on age and contribution period
of the unemployed. Eligibility rules for unemployment insurance benefits are
relatively strict. Unemployment assistance is of little relevance, as well as the
risk of inactivity traps. Activation policies play a relatively minor role, while
making the continuation of provision of unemployment insurance conditional
to the participation in active labour market policies is more widespread.
ƒCentral and Eastern countries (Greece, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia,
Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Latvia). This group
of countries tends to exhibit a tight unemployment benefit system both in terms
of benefit support per unemployed and benefit coverage. Although
11
replacement rates at the beginning of the unemployment spell can be high in
some cases, benefits drop sharply after the first year of unemployment. While
unemployment assistance plays a minor role, the unemployed can draw on
substantial means-tested income support provided by housing and social
benefits. Relatively strict conditions on job search and active participation of
labour market policies often apply.

So there you go, Portugal isn't an Anglo-Saxon economy

Also, one thing about all the A-S countries listed, is that they've all been under British rule at some point in the 20th century.

Well, I know that it is not considered one,, but I have seen it before referenced as one and I wanted to know why.

England has been a historical ally of portugal in order to fuck up its historical enemy that was Spain.

It would have been better for the Portuguese to join Spain, instead of being the whore of England. At the moment their purchasing power is more similar to eastern countries

That's not true, the oldest alliance in the world between two sovereign nations is between Portugal and England but Spain didn't even exist at the time we signed the Anglo-Portuguese treaty.

It wouldn't have been better for us to have stayed with Spain since for the best or for the worse it has always been our enemy through much of our history unlike England. One of our darkest historical periods was exactly during the Iberian Union due to Philip II of Spain dumb military actions that made us loose our best galleons on the Spanish Armada campaign and several of our colonies.

Our purchasing power is lower than Spain but you should worry instead about the almost 1/4 of Spanish population that is unemployed and your internal separatist movements, something that is completely alien to our homogeneous nation.

Where did you read that Portugal has an Anglo-Saxon economic model?

Where did you read that Portugal has an Anglo-Saxon economic model?

I think it was on CNBC years ago.. I cannot find the source. As we know Portugal literally does not touch the Mediterranean Sea. It touches the Atlantic like Britain and Ireland.

unemployment is currently 17% (only 7 points above the all-powerful France) and it continues in descent. This unemployment has been due to the massive arrival of millions of immigrants in a short space of time, who prefer to go to Spain, and not to Portugal

And separatist movements benefit a others regions, my friend
