Assistência e Previdência no mar português

Abstract

Supported by an authoritarian political order and defining corporatism as the official state ideology, the regime of Salazar approached the «social question». Despite the modesty, social benefits allocated under the so-called corporate welfare are defined. Warning for the methodological precautions that require this historical issue, the article examines a particular corporative organism established for the maritime workers, set in corporate welfare law as «welfare institutions»: the «Casas dos Pescadores».
