Young Greeks and the crisis: the danger of losing a generation

Posted on September 14, 2011 by Nick Malkoutzis

My latest policy paper for the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung in Germany. I
was asked to examine the problems that the economic crisis is causing
for Greeks in their 20s.

Beyond dangerously high levels of unemployment, others issues such as
a growing brain drain, an absence of political expression and the lack
of opportunities for entrepreneurship have to be tackled quickly and
imaginatively if Greece is to avoid scarring a well-educated and
talented generation.
