MACHADO, Fernando Luís  y  ABRANCHES, Maria. Limited paths to social integration: socio-vocational trajectories of Cape-Verdeans and Hindus in Portugal. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2005, n.48, pp.67-89. ISSN 0873-6529.

Using extensive and quantitative empirical evidence produced in the course of the LIMITS European comparative project, this article analyzes intra-generational socio-vocational trajectories of Cape-Verdeans and Hindus living in the Lisbon region. On the basis of a sample of 600 individuals, aged 35 years or over and 15 years or over resident in Portugal, the authors observe repositioning in terms of work status, distribution by economic sector and vocational category, and also the most common types of individual trajectory. It is concluded that these trajectories reveal, more amongst Cape-Verdeans than amongst Hindus, limited paths to social integration.

Palabras clave : Socio-vocational trajectories of immigrants; intermediate minority; secondary labour market.
