This page is dedicated to “StatsLab –Statistics in development”.
The statistics published in this page have two characteristics: i) they are part of projects aiming at creating new statistical products which are still under development and, yet, ii) they already contain useful information for economic and social analysis.
The increasing possibility of access by Statistics Portugal to administrative sources, through the Simplex+ program, such as to the reporting of the Monthly Remuneration for Social Security by company, and non-conventional sources, namely obtained from private entities, raise new challenges to Statistics Portugal public service mission. In particular, it is important that the information from these sources have an impact in new and relevant statistics for the lives of citizens and businesses and for public policy makers.
Thus, in order to take advantage of these sources, and using recently developed techniques of statistical treatment of large volume of data, new statistical products will be presented in this page, before acquiring their final format.
In addition, new forms of presentation of information and results derived from statistics already published will be tested, using new analytical tools.
Statistics Portugal welcomes all the suggestions and criticisms that can contribute to improve this project: Statistics in development. Please contact us by email:

Survey on the Identification of Qualifications Needs in Enterprises 2020Statistics Portugal presents the main results of the Survey on the Identification of Qualifications Needs in Enterprises. This is a survey conducted for the first time in the National Statistical System, promoted by Statistics Portugal between March and June this year in collaboration with ANQEP(Agência Nacional para a Qualificação e o Ensino Profissional) and DGEEC (Direção-Geral de Estatísticas da Educação e Ciência), with the year 2020 as reference, which allowed to obtain 4 313 valid answers (73,2% of the sample).
Considering that the results obtained may reflect the exceptional moment that economic activity has faced, given that the period of response to this survey began a week before the declaration of the state of emergency and lasted until the end of June, it was chosen to publish this information in this space, considering that the results in another context could be different, although this information still allows to identify the most needed qualifications in the next 2 years by the Portuguese enterprises.
Income statistics at local level - Reported income on Personal Income Tax indicators - 2018In July 2019, Statistics Portugal (SP) started the disclosure of data on “Income Statistics at the local level” (data for 2017) produced on the basis of anonymized fiscal data from the Tax and Customs Authority (AT) related to the Settlement note of Personal Income Tax (IRS – Modelo 3), obtained under an agreement between AT and SP.

The results are structured in summary files for the municipalities with 2 000 or more taxable persons and for the 25 NUTS III sub-regions of the country.
Population mobility indicators at regional level - a view based on Facebook's "Data for Good" initiative Taking advantage of Facebook's "Data for Good" initiative, population mobility some indicators are released at the NUTS III level.

Only data with a location accuracy (GPS) of less than 200 meters is considered and, in the case of a user presenting multiple locations, resulting from more than one associated mobile device, Facebook considers only the data with greater location accuracy. The release of results for NUTS III level implies a minimum of 300 unique users, per sub-region.

Social Economy Sector Survey - 2018Statistics Portugal presents the main results of the Social Economy Sector Survey, on the occasion of the European Day of Social Economy Enterprises.
