Background The COVID-19 pandemic has led to disruptive changes worldwide, with different implications across countries. The evolution of citizens’ concerns and behaviours over time is a central piece to support public policies. Objective To unveil perceptions and behaviours of the Portuguese population regarding social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing for more informed public policies. Methods Online panel survey distributed in three waves between March 13th and May 6th 2020. Data collected from a non-representative sample of 7,448 respondents includes socio-demographic characteristics and self-reported measures on levels of concern and behaviours related to COVID-19. We performed descriptive analysis and probit regressions to understand relationships between the different variables. Results Most participants (85%) report being at least very concerned with the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and social isolation reached a high level of adherence during the state of emergency. Around 36% of the sample anticipated consumption decisions, stockpiling ahead of the state of emergency declaration. Medical appointments suffered severe consequences, being re-rescheduled or cancelled. We find important variation in concerns with the economic impact across activity sectors. Conclusion We show that high level of concern and behaviour adaptation in our sample preceded the implementation of lockdown measures in Portugal around mid-March. One month later, a large share of individuals had suffered disruption in their routine health care and negative impacts in their financial status.

Europe’s Porcelain and Ceramic Product Manufacturing industry is home to robust craftsmanship, diverse offerings and a market that prizes high-end, artistic designs. However, the industry has run into some economic challenges, including competition from cheap imports, particularly from low-cost Asian countries, and harsh disruptions due to COVID-19, affecting primarily the construction and hospitality sectors, which are major consumers of ceramic products. Revenue is projected to contract at a compound annual rate of 5.2% to €8.7 billion over the five years through 2024, including a 3.7% drop in 2024. Europe has a strong reputation for high-quality ceramic products. There is growing consumer demand for quality artistic and handcrafted ceramic products that command premium prices, supporting revenue. Manufacturers faced hardships in 2020, with substantial declines in demand owing to COVID-19 restrictions that hit construction and hospitality sectors hard. Ceramic home and ornamental articles, tableware and construction-related ceramic material took a significant hit. However, the easing of restrictions and recovering output in the construction and hospitality sectors boosted revenue rebound in 2021. In 2022 and 2023, soaring inflation and weak economic conditions have subdued demand for porcelain and ceramic products. Strong competition from cheap Asian imports and rising production costs, due to high raw material prices and the energy crisis, have constrained profit. Revenue is forecast to inch upwards at a compound annual rate of 0.4% to €8.9 billion over the five years through 2029. Demand for luxury ceramics and unique designs from European manufacturers will expand, boosting exports and benefitting revenue growth. A return to small-batch and artisan-produced ceramics will support smaller, artisan-focused manufacturers. Implementing technology into manufacturing processes will help revolutionise production, enhancing efficiency and driving productivity. The ceramic industry will focus more on eco-friendly products, water and energy conservation and the use of recycled materials, signifying a shift towards sustainable business practices.

Revenue in Europe’s Call Centre Operations industry is anticipated to contract at a compound annual rate of 5.0% to €30.0 billion over the five years through 2024. This is predominately driven by increased usage of chatbots and AI by clients and lacklustre business and consumer sentiment. A growing number of companies are leveraging technology to enhance customer engagement and diversify their sources of income, which has resulted in increased demand for call centres. In 2024, revenue is projected to contract by 2.5% as companies remain cautious of inflationary pressures and underperforming consumer and business sentiment. While Eurozone inflation performed better than the European Central Bank initially expected in 2023, inflationary pressures will likely persist through 2024. This will prove difficult for the industry, as clients cut back the number of call centre agents they employ, depleting customer satisfaction with the industry. As business sentiment across Europe picks up, call centres will see profitability challenges due to staff shortages, boosting the need for automation or higher wages. Revenue is estimated to expand at a compound annual rate of 3.7% over the five years through 2029 to €36.0 billion. With the improvement of the Eurozone economy, there will be an uptick in business activity and consumer demand, propelling companies to use more services provided by call centres. Businesses might increase their operations, introduce new products, or outsource work more than before, thereby fostering a greater need for call centres. Profitability will be under fire in the coming years as staff shortages continue, forcing the industry’s hand in significantly increasing automation of its services or raising wages.

The environmental and social disruptions resulting from the prevailing economic growth model have been gradually and acutely felt throughout the world in recent years, and particularly since the 2008 global financial crisis (with particular repercussions in Portugal between 2011 and 2014), placing the sustainability issue in greater emphasis. Believing that sustainable development is everyone's responsibility - government, companies, civil society and citizens - the First Large Survey on Sustainability had the following objectives: (i) to understand the environmental representations and consumption practices of the Portuguese on the various aspects that make up the concept of sustainable development; (ii) to identify areas where information, awareness and mobilization are a priority; (iii) to share important information with several civil society partners to define better actionable strategies towards sustainable development.

Portugal PT: Prevalence of Overweight: Weight for Height: % of Children Under 5, Modeled Estimate data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Portugal – Table PT.World Bank.WDI: Social: Health Statistics. Prevalence of overweight children is the percentage of children under age 5 whose weight for height is more than two standard deviations above the median for the international reference population of the corresponding age as established by the WHO's 2006 Child Growth Standards.;UNICEF, WHO, World Bank: Joint child Malnutrition Estimates (JME).;Weighted average;Once considered only a high-income economy problem, overweight children have become a growing concern in developing countries. Research shows an association between childhood obesity and a high prevalence of diabetes, respiratory disease, high blood pressure, and psychosocial and orthopedic disorders (de Onis and Blössner 2003). Childhood obesity is associated with a higher chance of obesity, premature death, and disability in adulthood. In addition to increased future risks, obese children experience breathing difficulties and increased risk of fractures, hypertension, early markers of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, and psychological effects. Children in low- and middle-income countries are more vulnerable to inadequate nutrition before birth and in infancy and early childhood. Many of these children are exposed to high-fat, high-sugar, high-salt, calorie-dense, micronutrient-poor foods, which tend be lower in cost than more nutritious foods. These dietary patterns, in conjunction with low levels of physical activity, result in sharp increases in childhood obesity, while under-nutrition continues. Estimates are modeled estimates produced by the JME. Primary data sources of the anthropometric measurements are national surveys. These surveys are administered sporadically, resulting in sparse data for many countries. Furthermore, the trend of the indicators over time is usually not a straight line and varies by country. Tracking the current level and progress of indicators helps determine if countries are on track to meet certain thresholds, such as those indicated in the SDGs. Thus the JME developed statistical models and produced the modeled estimates.
