Talent attraction and retention in Portugal

The objective of this study is to develop a map of talent for Portugal in 2021, following the methodology used for Spain and its regions. The Cotec-Ivie Index considers the characteristics of developed countries, along with their strengths and weaknesses in facing the challenges in a post-COVID-19 scenario. In order to accomplish this, the following variables representing the major challenges posed by the pandemic have been considered: 1) resources available in the healthcare system; 2) vulnerability of businesses and workers; 3) level of digitalization of the economy; and 4) ability to address equality problems (gender, income and qualification). The Cotec-Ivie Index includes these variables that analyze the capability of different countries or regions to attract, grow, retain and enable talent.
