RAMOS, Madalena; GASPAR, Sofia  e  FERREIRA, Ana Cristina. Exogamous patterns in four immigrant groups in Portugal (2001 and 2011). Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2015, n.77, pp.53-76. ISSN 0873-6529.  https://doi.org/10.7458/SPP2015776221.

This article analyses the exogamy patterns in four groups of immigrants to Portugal - from the Portuguese-speaking African Countries (PALOPs), EU-12, Brazil, and Eastern Europe - in 2001 and 2011. In the light of earlier studies, on the one hand the authors assess the existence of both gender differences and differences in terms of educational and age homogamy in these marriages. On the other, they also analyse the factors that explain the propensity to exogamic marriage. The results point to marriage patterns that differ according to gender, as well as to differences between the older waves of immigration (PALOPs and EU-12) and the more recent ones (Brazil and Eastern Europe). These data are interpreted in the final part of the article.

Palavras-chave : exogamy; endogamy; age homogamy; educational homogamy.
