Summary: In their Concluding Observations of Portugal, the CESCR provides recommendations to the State party to take measures to promote gender equality, the right to work, and the range of ESCR, and to allocate sufficient resources to realize these rights. The Committee also recommends that the State party address discrimination of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, particularly the Roma, and to allocate sufficient resources toward this end. The Committee reminds the State party of its obligation under the Covenant to respect, protect and fulfil economic, social and cultural rights progressively, to the maximum of its available resources. On austerity, the Committee recommends that the State party review the policies and programmes adopted in the framework of the Social Emergency Programme implemented since 2011, and any other subsequent post-crisis economic and financial reforms, with a view to ensuring that austerity measures are progressively waived and the effective protection of the rights under the Covenant is enhanced in line with the progress achieved in the post-crisis economic recovery.
