José António Fonseca Vieira da Silva (born February 14, 1953 in Marinha Grande ) is a Portuguese economist and politician. From 2005 to 2011 he held the office of Minister of Labor in the Sócrates I and II cabinet . He also headed this ministry in the Costa I cabinet from November 26, 2015.
Life
Vieira da Silva completed his studies in economics at the School of Economics and Administration of the Technical University of Lisbon with the usual licenciatura . He then worked as a research assistant at the University of Labor Sciences ( Instituto Superior de Ciências do Trabalho e da Empresa ), where he was responsible for the Portuguese economy and Portuguese economic policy, among other things.
Shortly afterwards, he was already working in the Portuguese Ministry of Social Affairs, both as a consultant and later as head of the Statistics, Studies and Planning Department of the Ministry of Solidarity and Social Security. In the meantime, Vieira da Silva also took over the coordination of the “National Work Plan” ( Plano Nacional de Emprego ).
He carried out his first political activity between October 28, 1999 and March 10, 2001 in the Guterres II cabinet , where he was State Secretary for Social Security, but after a cabinet reshuffle, he moved to the Ministry of Public Buildings in March 2001. In the ninth legislative period (2002-2005) he was a member of the Portuguese parliament for the electoral district of Braga , during which time he was, among other things, chairman of the Committee on Labor and Social Affairs. In the tenth legislative period (from 2005), i.e. after the Portuguese parliamentary elections in 2005 , in which the Portuguese socialists won an absolute majority for the first time, the new Prime Minister José Sócrates appointed Vieira da Silva as the new Minister for Labor and Social Solidarity. His main task was and is to rehabilitate the Portuguese economy and the labor market together with Economics Minister Manuel Pinho and Finance Minister Fernando Teixeira dos Santos , as unemployment rates rose particularly sharply after the global recession in 2002.

José Vieira da Silva is married and has two children.
