Greek Youth

It is more difficult to begin a dialogue with young people, whom we describe as 'distant' and 'unrecognisable', than to manage an outburst of violence.

The government is keenly aware of the importance of investing in the future of Greece's youth and is already preparing a multi-pronged plan to attract the younger generation.

Most people were pleasantly surprised that an age group that was clearly suffering from lockdown fatigue was rushing to be vaccinated with a vaccine [AstraZeneca] viewed as a “left-over”.

The data show that young Greek women are more vulnerable than men in the same age bracket, as 33.7 percent of them are neither working nor studying (compared to 20.1 percent for young men).

This country has athletes, filmmakers, and other professionals who did not reach the heights that they might have if only they had been afforded the necessary opportunities.
