Now migrants flooding OUT of Europe in search of jobs as tens of thousands flee Portugal, Ireland and Greece

By Emma Reynolds

Last updated at 3:07 PM on 22nd December 2011

Tens of thousands of Portuguese, Greek and Irish people are abandoning their homelands as job prospects look increasingly dire.

Migrants used to see the EU as a top destination for work and a better lifestyle, but now a stream of Europeans are leaving the continent, figures show.

In the past year, 2,500 Greeks have left for Australia alone and at least 10,000 Portuguese people have moved to Angola, according to the Guardian.

Deserted: Economic migrants no longer see the EU as a safe haven after the European Central Bank, pictured, was thrown into turmoil

Ireland's official statistics office predicted that 50,000 people will have deserted their home country by the end of the year, with many heading to Australia and the U.S.

The trend could become even worse, with Britain potentially losing its pull for workers who have vital skills to contribute.

With migration trends reversing, unusual routes have apparently become popular, including Lisbon to Luanda, Dublin to Perth and Barcelona to Buenos Aires.

Portugal's foreign ministry reportedly said 97,616 of its people are now registered at the consulates in Benguele and Luanda - almost double the number who were there in 2005.

The Portuguese are also heading in their droves to former colonies such as Brazil and Mozambique, with Brazil seeing a 50 per cent rise in foreign residents in just a year.

Goncalo Pires, a graphic designer who moved from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, told the Guardian: 'It's a pretty depressing environment there [in Portugal].

'In Brazil, by contrast, there are lots of opportunities to find work, to find clients and projects.'

Joy Drosis, who left her homeland of Greece for Australia, said she felt she would have been doomed if she had stayed.

In Ireland, where 14.5 per cent of the population are jobless, emigration has climbed steadily since 2008, with 40,200 Irish passport-holders said to have left in the 12 months to April this year, up from 27,700 the previous year.

There are reports of similar trends in Spain and Italy, and fears young European sports stars are leaving their birth countries for places such as Australia.

Experts believe the exodus from Ireland will only increase, given the £1.4bn tax rises and austerity measures just announced.

Greece lost 9.4 per cent of its doctors in just one year, with most immigrants arriving from poorer countries and often lacking the skills to replace them in the economy.

Swedes arrested for butter smuggling

Two Swedes have been arrested by Norwegian police for smuggling more than 250kg of butter into the country, offloading one consignment for more than £25 a packet.


The two men, from the Northern city of Umea, managed to make their first delivery before a police patrol stopped their van on Saturday evening.


"They allegedly sold the coveted butter packets in Beitstad Steinkjer before they drove north along the county road 17," police officer Lars Letnes told Norway's Adresseavisen newspaper.


"Then they were stopped by a police patrol, which found 250kg of butter in the small van." A sudden spike in demand has left Norway with a butter shortfall of between 500 and 1,000 tonnes, leaving the country's citizens facing Christmas without their seven traditional varieties of home-cooked biscuit.


Swedes have posted nearly 100 adverts on the local auction website Blocket offering to drive butter across the border at prices ranging from £20 to above £50 a pack.


The poster of one of the adverts, Yusuf, from Gothenburg, told the Daily Telegraph that he was now making two trips a week to service clients in Oslo, the Norwegian capital, but refused to give more details.

The arrests follow the seizure earlier this month of a 90kg consignment found stashed in the car of a Russian man at the Norwegian-Swedish border. The Norwegian police plan to destroy the confiscated butter.

Norway butter shortage: 'margarine is just not the same'

With Christmas fast approaching, Norwegians face a festive crisis; a severe shortage of butter.


The shortfall, expected to last into January, amounts to between 500 and 1,000 tonnes and online sellers are cashing in on the crisis by offering 500-gram packs for up to €350 (£294).


"Sales all of a sudden just soared, 20 per cent in October then 30 per cent in November," said Lars Galtung, the head of communications at TINE, Norway's biggest farmer-owned co-operative.


Last Friday, customs officers stopped a Russian at the Norwegian-Swedish border and seized 90kg of butter stashed in his car.


Food safety authorities have warned people not to buy butter from strangers, Norway's TV2 reported.


The dire shortage poses a serious challenge for Norwegians who are trying to finish their traditional Christmas baking – a task which usually involves making at least seven different kinds of biscuits.

Shoppers at an Oslo Christmas market stressed that when it comes to baking the traditional cookies, nothing can replace butter.

"It's possible to use margarine," one lady said. "No. That isn't the same," rued her friend. "When you are baking cookies you have to have butter," said another.

The shortfall has been blamed on a rainy summer that cut into feed production and therefore dairy output, but also the ballooning popularity of a low-carbohydrate, fat-rich diet that has sent demand for butter soaring.

Undoubtedly. Based on Eurocentric image-branding of Africa, one would think that it would be a one-sided migration of Africans heading to Europe for opportunities. Now we have Europeans heading for African countries. Interesting, isn't it.

Lets be clear. Historically it was Europeans who were the first to immigrate enmasse and outpopulate and push their culture onto other people such as in Australia, Mexico, the USA Argentina etc. So historically Europeans did the same thing that Mexicans and Africans and Arabs are doing today, Migrating to find better opportunities.

Europeans are the original Illegal Immigrants..

Not to mention that Europeans like to rationalize things that they do, which are otherwise described in derogatory terms, when it is supposedly perpetrated by non-Europeans. They use terms like "colonize" or say "intervention" (usually in tandem with descriptions like "humanitarian") to hide the fact they are violating the sovereignty of a country. At least private migrants actually go to destination countries to actually constructively contribute to their economies, rather than destroy and impoverish them, like European states had traditionally done in the past.

Even some U.S. politicians joke that there are more U.S. soldiers overseeing the borders of countries they colonized, like say, Iraq or Afghanistan, than they are U.S.'s own. Now of course, even the term "colonize" has been dropped in establishment vocabulary in many cases these days, because it has a baggage across the globe outside the so-called "west"; rather, "western" media and ruling classes prefer to stick with their most favored terms, like "humanitarian intervention", as they had amply done in Libya's case.

Your source is the DailyMail. Most well known for attractive headlines, but when you read the articles they never match the heading.

The article states only 2,500 Greeks and 10,000 Portuguese left their countries in a year.

To put things in perspective -

UK gets 250,000 non-white immigrants entering our country every year.

Its blacks and asians flooding white countries, not vice versa.

Portugal's migrants hope for new life in old African colony

Increasing numbers of Europeans are going to Mozambique in search of work, but many have unrealistic expectations

Europe: migration after the crash

It is Wednesday, and 31-year-old Maria Nunes is picking at her husband's grilled sardines, laughing at a comment from her friend Carlos, across the table. This group of young professionals have gathered at the Associação Portuguesa for their weekly lunch. It is a reunion of sorts, for the group of expatriates to talk about all things Portuguese over the black and white checkered tablecloths.

All eight were born in Portugal but now live in Mozambique.

The southern African country is famed for its prawn curries, balmy Indian Ocean beaches and local jazz, but the former Portuguese colony is experiencing a resurgence in foreign investment – and foreign migrants – as coal reserves are discovered in the north, urban centres develop in a frenzy of construction, and Europe slides further into economic meltdown.

Maria, a freelance graphic designer, and her husband, Ricardo, moved to Maputo in 2006, interrupted by a brief spell in Angola for Ricardo's work as a civil engineer. The couple say they love Maputo and chose to live there because it is so Portuguese.

"There's so many new people arriving everyday," Maria says. "They just keep coming. Four years ago it was very quiet. But two years ago everything changed. It feels like it's tripled in the last two years. Every week I see new people in the restaurants, the clubs."

She shakes her head in bewilderment. "My hometown is small, in the middle of nowhere, but there are still three or four people from there who are here."

Maria says there's an email group of thousands online, made up of Portuguese expats living in Mozambique and those in Europe who want to make the move. "Every day there's another CV from Portugal, someone else looking for a job, wanting to come," she says. And now finding work in Maputo is getting more and more difficult.

Her friend Carlos Quadros, a newly arrived environmental engineer from Lisbon, says: "Things aren't so good in Portugal, it's in crisis. There's no work at all, and if you get work, you don't get good pay. And it's going to get worse."

He says there are many more opportunities in Mozambique, but it depends on your area of expertise. If you're an architect or engineer, or have technical skills, there are plenty of jobs.

There has been a 30% to 40% increase in the number of Portuguese migrants choosing to move to Mozambique over the past two years, says the consul general, Graça Gonçalves Pereira.

And while Portuguese nationals don't have to register at the embassy so concrete numbers are hard to come by, she says the population is in the tens of thousands.

"We can see there are more people now," Pereira says. "It's no surprise. It's natural to look for something better, and Portuguese people always emigrate. It's been a habit of ours since the 16th century."

Many migrants arrive on fixed-term contracts with Portuguese companies who have invested in Mozambique, she says, but most will leave after their contracts end.

Sitting in his whitewashed restaurant on the bustling Avenida Julius Nyerere, Luis Carvalho agrees. "The new Portuguese, they stay for a few months, then they're gone," he says. "Of 100 who come, 50 will have left within three months."

His restaurant O'Porto serves, in his words, "nouvelle Portuguese cuisine", and caters predominantly to rich Mozambicans and Portuguese migrants who come because the name reminds them of home.

Carvalho says many new migrants arrive with unrealistic expectations of what they can achieve in Mozambique. When they come they want to start at the top, have high-ranking jobs, he frowns.

"Some people get jobs, some give up, and others just can't adapt to the Mozambican way," he says.

For Carvalho, Mozambican life is what you make of it. Gazing at the black and white photos of the restaurant's namesake on the walls, he says, "Mozambique is a great opportunity for life. In Portugal it's different, because everything's invented already. In Africa you have opportunities."

Down the road the owner of the more traditional family-run Restaurante Taverna, Nuna Pestana, says he's also fallen in love with the country. "The sun here, it feels different from everywhere else. The colour of the day, the people …" he trails off in reverie.

Despite Pestana's love for his new country, his restaurant caters for those homesick for Europe. Taverna is an unassuming log-fronted establishment, with rough-hewn wooden benches and checkered tablecloths, but is one of the most expensive eateries in the city.

The food is traditional, home-cooked Portuguese – and business is so good. Nuna's extensive wine list is handed out to patrons on iPads, a first for Mozambique. Out of the 960 wines on his wine list, 85% are Portuguese and, despite the prices, are still the most popular.

"This week 15 Portuguese people came for lunch. They were on a trip to see Mozambique, explore business opportunities," Pestana says.

Every day, every night, there's a new Portuguese person coming to the restaurant, he says. And in the past few months at least 10 new Portuguese restaurants have opened.

Pestana says Portugal has a culture of emigration. "We are conquistadors. When things aren't good, we go to where it is best. We've done it for generations," he says.

At the Associação Portuguesa the group are finishing their lunch. Maria shakes her head. This is not my country, she says. "I love it, but my family's far away."

She says that she's learning Mozambican dancing, but, glancing at her tangerine shirt and slimfit blue jeans, she shrugs. "I still buy all my clothes in Portugal. We go home every Christmas," she says.

Maria and Ricardo are newlyweds and want European passports for their children.

"We may live in Mozambique, but we will die Portuguese," Ricardo says.

At a neighbouring table a group of older Portuguese men have been sitting since mid-morning, sipping neat whisky and gazing at the Jardim dos Namorados across the road. In their swirl of cigar smoke they're oblivious to the raucous chatter with a smattering of accents from across the Lusophone world.

Most have been in Mozambique for years, watching the younger ones come – and go.

Economic standstill sets Italians on the move

A lack of progress since the turn of the century and frustration with political inertia has sent highly-qualified Italians abroad

Young Europeans flock to Argentina for job opportunities

Thousands have left Europe this year in search of employment and a more relaxed lifestyle in Buenos Aires

"In Barcelona I didn't even bother looking for a job because there just is no work in Spain," says Montserrat Fabregas, a 30-year-old architect who came here last year to join one of the most important architecture studios in Argentina.

Fabregas is ecstatic at her success in Buenos Aires, where she combines working on projects for the MSGSSS studio with serving as a volunteer for a non-governmental organisation that provides improved homes for poorer areas outside the city. "I have already built my first house, even if it is just a humble nine by 18-feet one in a poor neighbourhood," says Fabregas. Every weekend she climbs the scaffolding with construction workers, building wooden homes to replace the aluminium-siding shacks of shanty-town dwellers.

For Chiara Boschiero, a 33-year-old film producer from Italy, Argentina has provided a similar escape. "In Italy, with the crisis, people my age have closed up inside, you feel there is no more hope," she says sitting at a café near her home in the tree-lined neighbourhood of Belgrano. "Here people are still willing to put their heart into what they do. Italy is a country of old people, it is very difficult for a director under 40 to make a film. But Argentina is young and there are many directors and producers here younger than I am who are very successful."

Few plan to return home any time soon. "Mine is a lost generation in Spain," says Fabregas. "I had planned to stay two years and go back, but now I realise I won't because the panorama is too bleak. My friends still have no jobs. I am very lucky I moved to Argentina."

Fleeing Greeks bank on new Australian gold rush

The debt crisis has sent desperate Greek graduates to the other side of the world to a place they see as a land of opportunity

For several months a stream of mostly young men and women, fresh off the plane from Greece, has been knocking at the doors of a large building on Lonsdale Street in the heart of Melbourne. The 1940s block houses the headquarters of Australia's biggest Greek community. In scenes reminiscent of the great gold rush at the turn of the 20th century, the men and women have travelled to the other side of the world in search of a better life. Unlike Greeks of old, however, these new émigrés are noticeably accomplished, with hard-earned degrees won in some of the toughest fields.

This year alone, 2,500 Greek citizens have moved to Australia although officials in Athens say another 40,000 have also "expressed interest" in initiating the arduous process to settle there. An 800-seat Australian government "skills expo" held in the Greek capital in October attracted some 13,000 applicants.

Tessie Spilioti is among those who have already relocated to Australia. A talented curator and artist, her gallery in the once bustling historic centre of Athens bore testimony to the boom times that followed the 2004 Olympics. But by late 2008, as recession set in, she found herself bearing witness to the decline and fall of a city gripped increasingly by strikes, protests and riots.

By the time the 45-year-old decided to move to Melbourne last summer, art had become a luxury that few could afford, with galleries even holding yoga classes to make ends meets.

"There's nowhere in the world like Greece and I miss it and my friends every single day," said Spilioti who grew up in Australia before settling in Athens 27 years ago. "But Australia is a positive country. It's the land of plenty, there is a feeling of abundance and of opportunity," she enthused. "That's totally missing in Greece. Instead people are panic-stricken, the vibe is bad, the psychology is bad and there's a feeling of almost being under siege. I never thought I'd leave but with the stress of day-to-day survival I knew it was going to be very difficult to evolve."

Two generations are expected to be lost as a result of Greece's great economic crisis. The new diaspora, say experts, will almost certainly comprise younger Greeks who are well-educated and multilingual but are no longer able to survive in a country whose economy is in freefall, partly because of the biting austerity measures Greece has been forced to apply in exchange for aid.

Irish economic exodus costs Gaelic sports dear

Top hurling and Gaelic football stars are heading abroad to play Australian Rules football and work on New York building sit

 -

It's part of a wider trend in which Ireland is once again waving goodbye to a generation with little to keep it at home. The Republic's central statistics office has projected that 50,000 people will leave the state by the end of this year, seeking work abroad. Australia and the US are particularly popular destinations.

"These days it is much easier to emigrate to Australia and the lads can keep in touch instantly with family and friends. Lifestyle changes have made Australia more accessible."

"You have one of the greatest hurlers of his generation like Shane Dooley who played for Offaly. He is now working on a building site in New York City. We are meeting up with him next month when the GAA All-Stars (a Gaelic sports touring team) arrive in San Francisco for their tour. The loss of a star like him epitomises how bad it is in Ireland at present."

Milton says that up to 15 senior county stars from across the Republic have signed up to play professional Australian Rules football.

"There are thousands leaving or getting ready to leave. I know Gaelic players who have gone to Perth to work in the mining industry. They are crying out for young Irish tradesmen and workers out there. The difference between now and the 1980s recession is that today urban clubs are suffering the haemorrhage of talent. In the 80s it was mainly rural clubs, which were ravaged by emigration. In this downturn everyone is getting a hit," Milton says.

As a consequence of the growing Gaelic sports diaspora there are now 32 new GAA clubs dotted across the planet. The latest has been set up in Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia by Irish immigrants working on engineering projects.

Yes, and rarely if ever is the damage caused by Illegal Europeans ever talked about in perspective. For instance, take America, Europeans decimated 90%, NINETY F-ing PERCENT of the native population, they over fished and destroyed some of the native flora and fauna. Now these Liberal Eurocentric historians like Jared Diamond want to BLAME THE NATIVES. Why don't history books call a spade a spade, Europeans were a bunch of diseased illegals who migrated enmasse to flee their dirty, rat infested cities like London and Paris where they over fished and over exploited their lands. Or why dont these historians call the Australians a bunch of Petty Criminals who enacted Genocide and Apartied on the Aborginees.

Europeans are the original Illegal Immigrants.

Anyone notice how the British online outlets above show close-up old, if not crowded, settings of other destination countries, but show a landscape imagery of an entire skyline when it came to Australia?

Europe’s Young Grow Agitated Over Future Prospects

 -
Francesca Esposito has a law degree and a master’s and speaks five languages. She recently quit her unpaid job for Italy’s social security administration.

LECCE, Italy — Francesca Esposito, 29 and exquisitely educated, helped win millions of euros in false disability and other lawsuits for her employer, a major Italian state agency. But one day last fall she quit, fed up with how surreal and ultimately sad it is to be young in Italy today.

The outrage of the young has erupted, sometimes violently, on the streets of Greece and Italy in recent weeks, as students and more radical anarchists protest not only specific austerity measures in flattened economies but a rising reality in Southern Europe: People like Ms. Esposito feel increasingly shut out of their own futures. Experts warn of volatility in state finances and the broader society as the most highly educated generation in the history of the Mediterranean hits one of its worst job markets.

Politicians are slowly beginning to take notice. Italy’s president, Giorgio Napolitano, devoted his year-end message on Friday to “the pervasive malaise among young people,” weeks after protests against budget cuts to the university system brought the issue to the fore.

The daughter of a fireman and a high school teacher, Ms. Esposito was the first in her family to graduate from college and the first to study foreign languages. She has an Italian law degree and a master’s from Germany and was an intern at the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg. It has not helped.

“I have every possible certificate,” Ms. Esposito said dryly. “I have everything except a death certificate.”

As a result, a deep malaise has set in among young people. Some take to the streets in protest; others emigrate to Northern Europe or beyond in an epic brain drain of college graduates. But many more suffer in silence, living in their childhood bedrooms well into adulthood because they cannot afford to move out.

“They call us the lost generation,” said Coral Herrera Gómez, 33, who has a Ph.D. in humanities but still lives with her parents in Madrid because she cannot find steady work. “I’m not young,” she added over coffee recently, “but I’m not an adult with a job, either.”

There has been a national debate for years in Spain about “mileuristas,” a nickname for college graduates whose best job prospects may well pay just 1,000 euros a month, or $1,300.

Ms. Herrera is at the lower end of the spectrum. Fed up with earning 600 euros a month, or $791, under the table as a children’s drama teacher, Ms. Herrera said she had decided to move to Costa Rica this month to teach at a university.

Experts warn of a looming demographic disaster in Southern Europe, which has among the lowest birth rates in the Western world. With pensioners living longer and young people entering the work force later — and paying less in taxes because their salaries are so low — it is only a matter of time before state coffers run dry. “If these fertility rates continue through time, you won’t have Italians, Spanish, Greeks, Portuguese or Russians,” he said. “I imagine the Chinese will just move into Southern Europe.”

As for the brain drain deal, it's time for the west to "give back". It's nice to be a receiver all the time, but at some point, one has to also see the good in giving back. It's tragic that Euro folks proactively like to practice this concept in a single day that they call Christmas.

Brain drain costs Africa billions

Africa has lost a third of its skilled professionals in recent decades and it is costing the continent $4b dollars a year to replace them with expatriates from the West.

The report, by the Pollution Research Group at Natal University in South Africa, says the trend, known as brain-drain, has strangled growth on the continent.

It says it has also nurtured poverty and delayed economic development.

According to the report, Africa lost an estimated 60,000 middle- and high-level managers between 1985 and 1990, and about 23,000 qualified academic professionals emigrate each year in search of better working conditions.

But some professionals suggested that political persecution was often a factor driving the best brains away.

Expatriate replacements for the departing Africans, the report said, are very often more expensive than African professionals.

The problem is there is really no where to migrate to as everyone wants to migrate else where,especially after the looming world economic collapse.

Brada makes an good point.

The economic collapse has Affected many countries and we see the socalled 1st world affected the worse because they are use to getting everything.

As for Angola and Mozambique, I for one love diversity and hope the portoguese who go there, don't think they deserve better then Natives.

I believe in an rainbow world where Blacks and Whites live together as one and show roots of love so the future(children) can learn to stop looking at skin color and look at the heart. I can see us 5 years from now looking back at these euros moving to Africa, and Africa seriously growing in culture and peace. I can see These nations opening there doors to others really leading African to an rennisance. Africa has all the tools to be great again. Young population, Jobs, etc so there is no excuse if majority of Africa is not growing like China and Brazil in 5 years. I can see growth in these regions and the people finally getting what they deserve. I hope the Euros in Angola etc really invest in these countries so we see there children and Africans childrens have the future that is lacking right now.

Of course this all hinges on how the elites do in these countries. For too long, majority of Africans have not benefitted from the wealth on the continent. Elites if they want to feel better about there wealth, will trickle down money to the entire country so ALL people can eat. If the leaders do whats right, then the sleeping Lion that is Africa can really roar on the international scene.

UNITY is the only way we are going to make it out of this crisis on top. Euros have to give back so others can eat as well and taper down all the taking they do.

Too many people only give on special occasions instead of realizing just how better they would feel if they give, giving and every day thing. And also I know that there is people that can't give everyday, but for those that can, they should do it with the thought that they are making Life easier for someone else.

I only hope that ALL people learn in these times, you gotta give to receive helping others is the utmost of what Man must do to move forward in life. The Bible teaches that “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets Matthew 7:12" Very important verse to learn and grow with in our lives. If you want people to be loving and caring towards you, then you should be loving and caring to them regardless of color. Thats why I object to the senseless race bait threads and posts on these forums that divides us as Humans and does not help uplift us as an people. Love is the Key.

Peace

King, those fleeing Europeans are not going to Africa to invest; they are going there to take advantage of opportunities. In other words, take care of themselves. Now of course, like any other country that is a recipient of migration, the receiving African countries will benefit from migrant labor.

The Explorer

I see your point Explorer.

But I will still say that they will benefit Africa because of whatever they build and buy in the Continent.

It's the same way that Nigerians and Asians have benefitted England as being doctors and building up parts of Europe. I just hope they Love there new land and try to support the people by being around them, talking and working with them.

I see many parts of Africa surging ahead in the future and this could be what triggers it.

Peace
