In October 2015, the XIX Government of Portugal asked the OECD to carry out an evaluation of the labour market reforms implemented in the country over the period 2011-2015. This report has been elaborated by the OECD in very close collaboration with the Portuguese government and, in particular, the Ministry of Labour. A final version was submitted to the government in late December 2016 and it is expected to be released in Lisbon on the 19th of January 2017.
