Analysis reveals stability in the elite administrativa profile, suggesting recruitment methods have limited impact on change.
This article shows us a picture of great continuity in the profiles of top officials, practically immune to recent changes in recruitment methods. Regardless of these changes, the Portuguese administrative elite follows a pattern of ageing and continues to be recruited essentially within the public administration,and often within the ministry where those management functions are exercised. The variations that exist relate to the seniority of certain ministries or the statute of specific careers. This obviously does not mean that between 2000 and 2020 nothing has changed in the profile of the Portuguese administrative elite. These changes simply seem to be less associated with new recruitment methods than with dynamics that precede or are external to them.
