labor market Greece

Young generations are setting boundaries in workplace conditions in Greece, seeking jobs with prospects, decent wages, and a work-life balance – From the "Great Resignation" movement to new labor market dynamics.

The minister highlighted that for the first time these adjustments will include minimum wages of employees in the public sector, while there is a legislative ban on reducing minimum wages.

Data show that specific sectors are facing particular challenges in filling job positions, with the primary sector struggling to find working hands.

Figures indicate that it exceeded 20% in July 2024, the second-highest youth unemployment rate in Europe after Spain.

Greek Labor Minister says improved salaries and working conditions, and a stronger economy will help attract specialized human resources.
