Efforts are underway to modernize through digital investments. 5. Gender Equality: The government has a comprehensive strategy promoting gender equality, but challenges like the widening gender pay gap persist. 6. Migration: Portugal has progressive policies supporting migrant integration, with high rankings in migrant inclusion and citizenship rights, though enforcement and social attitudes still face hurdles. 7. Family and Children: Policies support parental leave and childcare, but shortages in daycare places and demographic aging pose ongoing issues. 8. Pensions: The pension system aims to prevent old-age poverty but faces long-term sustainability challenges due to demographic shifts and rising expenditures. 9. Social Inclusion and Basic Needs: Efforts to ensure equitable access to essential services are ongoing, but rising homelessness and disparities in service quality highlight gaps. 10. International Development: Portugal’s foreign aid and capacity-building efforts in low- and middle-income countries are modest, with a focus on Portuguese-speaking nations, but overall contributions remain limited.
