The research examines the intersections of migration, labour, and housing struggles among migrant women in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area and women in the Province of Luanda who plan to emigrate, framed through the concept of displaced survival. Against the backdrop of rising evictions and homelessness in Europe, the study highlights housing exclusions linked to rural-urban migration, postcolonial migration, and the financialisation of housing in Portugal. It critiques the tendency to isolate housing from labour dynamics, masking the class, gender, and racial dimensions inherent in urban displacement. Focusing on Angolan migrant women, the study explores their migration and housing strategies as survival tactics and informal entrepreneurship, alongside the influence of public policies. It employs multi-sited ethnography, life histories, and policy analysis, spanning Portugal and Angola. The research aims to deepen understanding of low-wage, gendered, and racialised migration, and its implications for both origin and host countries. It also seeks to critically assess policies, offering insights to shape future labour migration frameworks while recognising the fluid nature of contemporary migration and its impact on families.
