Labor Market Regulation and Reform in Greece1
This chapter describes the regulatory framework in Greece at the time of the crisis and the way it has evolved since. It then reviews the theoretical and empirical literature relating to labor market regulation as a way to understand how the institutions in Greece may have affected the performance of the economy. Finally, it offers an alternative vision of a deregulated labor market supported by a robust system of welfare and social insurance, wh…
Telling the Sudanese story in Athens through a gender lens
This article analyses the part that gender negotiations are playing in the making of Sudanese identity in Athens at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In an attempt to define the Sudanese version of the Athenian story, Sudanese men and women who undertake collective action rework differentiate them from newcomers and other Africans. The vindication of Arabness requires boundary work in which women and men perform different tasks in order …
The Informal Welfare State and the Family
Are European welfare states, especially in the European periphery, ‘fair-weather systems'? Can they survive a sustained and deep crisis and still fulfil basic functions? This article argues that to answer these questions we must look at the interplay between ‘formal’ and ‘informal', family-based, social protection. Social protection services in all countries, but especially in Southern Europe, have always been provided by a hybrid system comprise…
Mapping population aging in Europe
This paper focuses primarily on the demographic and social structures across Europe aiming to portray how similar needs for care of the elderly population (justified on health outcomes), are addressed in different ways across European countries. To approach this issue, we focus first on mapping the ‘needs for care’ – a rough measure of demand for care, and then on family structures – characterizing an institution linked with the provision or supp…
Labour and Pensions in the Greek Crisis
This paper examines the antecedents and dynamics of the Greek crisis by focusing on pensions and the labour market -the microfoundations of disaster. The crisis was caused by fundamental features of Greece's political economy, already present before entry into the Monetary Union. The fact that reform did not take place until after the bailout may be seen as a governance shortcoming, linked to the way major policy choices are handled in Greece. Si…
Migrant Women, Care Work, and Women's Employment in Greece
This contribution is about women's paid and unpaid work in the context of rapid socioeconomic change in Greece between 1983 and 2008. Drawing on feminist analyses of women's employment and the care sector, it highlights the link between women's paid employment and the supply of affordable immigrant (female) labor in Greece in the sphere of care provision. It examines three issues: the acceleration of women's involvement in the paid labor force af…
Delocalization, Triangular Manufacturing, and Windows of Opportunity
Lyberaki A. Delocalization, triangular manufacturing, and windows of opportunity: some lessons from Greek clothing producers in a fast-changing global context, Regional Studies. Delocalization as an instance of adjustment to global competition can acquire a variety of forms. This paper examines the opportunities and pitfalls for Greek clothing companies between 1996 and 2004. It focuses on three cases exhibiting common features: first, the perfor…
Migrants' Strategies and Migration Policies
The contributions to this Special Issue produce a familiar big picture: People on the move, despite policies aiming to control migration flows. Migrants respond to a variety of motives but they boi
The Greek Immigration Experience Revisited
Over the past two decades, Greece, along with other Southern EU member states, has experienced a transformation from a net emigration to a net destination country. This paper attempts to provide an assessment of the economic costs and benefits of the recent immigration flows into Greece. Based on a closer examination of the economic arguments it is argued that Greece's recent immigration experience can be seen as a win-win story both for the host…
Albanian immigrants in Athens
This paper is part of a broader project investigating the security of borders. Its key hypothesis is that the way migrants get on in the host country influences whether borders divide or unite. In this context survey evidence covering 500 Albanians in Athens is presented to track processes of inegration and exclusion, to see in other words how perceptions of borders are reflected in social attitudes. The picture emerging is that of a vibrant comm…
Back and forth and in between
Inflow of migrants and outflow of investment
Along with the other Southern EU member-states, Greece has moved from a country of emigration to become a migrant-receiving country. The influx of migrants occurred during the 1990s, following the dramatic events in Eastern Europe and the former USSR, with the majority of immigrants being clandestine. The bulk of the immigrant population are nationals of neighbouring Balkan states, predominantly Albanians. Coinciding with the influx of immigrants…
Reforming the Economy without Society
Crisis and Restructuring in Greek Small Scale Industry
Based on research into small-scale industry in Greece, Lyberaki argues that the introduction of 'flexibility' has been primarily defensive and is by itself incapable of generating dynamic growth. The author concludes that only a coordinated industrial policy would enable these sectors to transcend their endemic weaknesses
