Apesar da ampla discussão em torno da taxa de desemprego, pouco se conhece quanto à distribuição territorial dos beneficiários com prestações de desemprego. O desemprego, quando resulte de falta de remuneração motivada pela perda involuntária de emprego tem associado uma prestação social denominada de subsídio de desemprego, sendo os seus detentores designados de beneficiários.
As prestações de desemprego como garante de substituição de rendimentos decorrentes de despedimentos ou da caducidade de contratos de trabalho, consubstanciam uma das concretizações mais visíveis da proteção social conferida em primeira instância pela Constituição da República Portuguesa.
O perfil regional em estudo permite definir o objetivo central desta investigação que assenta em descobrir disparidades regionais de beneficiários com prestações de desemprego em Portugal. Para tal, foram considerados os dados disponibilizados pelo Instituto da Segurança Social, IP, responsável pelo cálculo e atribuição das prestações de desemprego nas suas várias tipologias, recorrendo-se à unidade territorial distrito, para o período 2006 até 2020.
Os distritos de Lisboa e Porto agrupam-se e constituem o cluster Regiões populacionais mais elevadas, enquanto que o cluster Regiões populacionais menos elevadas compreende os restantes distritos, quando analisado o número de beneficiários com prestações de desemprego. Em paralelo e considerando o valor médio mensal das prestações de desemprego são obtidos três clusters, Regiões com montante alto, médio e baixo.
Os resultados permitem assim concluir pelo agrupamento dos distritos de Portugal em três grandes grupos, com uma evidente discrepância entre os distritos do litoral e do interior salvaguardando os maiores distritos em termos geográficos.
Despite the wide discussion around the unemployment rate, little is known about the territorial distribution of beneficiaries with unemployment benefits. Unemployment, when it results from the lack of remuneration motivated by the involuntary loss of employment, has associated a social benefit called unemployment allowance and its holders are designated as beneficiaries. Unemployment benefits as a guarantee of income replacement resulting from redundancies or expiry of the employment contract, are one of the most visible implementations of social protection granted in the first instance by the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic. The regional profile under study allows us to define the main objective of this investigation, which is to discover regional disparities of beneficiaries with unemployment benefits in Portugal. For that, the data considered for this research was provided by the Instituto de Segurança Social, IP, responsible for the calculation and allocation of unemployment benefits in its various types, using the district territorial unit, for the period from 2006 to 2020. The districts of Lisbon and Porto are grouped together and constitute the cluster higher population Regions, while the cluster lesser population Regions encompasses the remaining districts, when analyzing the number of beneficiaries with unemployment benefits. In parallel and considering the monthly average value of unemployment benefits, three clusters are obtained, with high, medium and low amount. The results allow us to conclude by grouping the districts of Portugal into three large groups, with an evident discrepancy between the coastal and inland districts, safeguarding the largest districts in geographic terms.
