The Rebirth of the Greek Labor Market provides evidence of the
macroeconomic evolution of the Greek economy, as well as current
conditions in the labor market, to suggest potential areas of
growth following the crisis. The contributors of this collection
focus on three main issues that make the overall volume
distinctive. Firstly, the authors develop a macro-econometric model
for the Greek economy, which is flexible in terms of policy
analysis and provides reasonable forecasts for the period between
2014-2020, under three scenarios. Secondly, the authors analyze the
dynamism in the Greek economy, as well as the problematic Greek
labor market. Lastly, using the estimations provided by the
macro-econometric model developed, an input-output analysis is
conducted - for every one of the three scenarios - in order to
investigate and quantify the impact of the economic crisis, not
only to the total employment but also in the number of employees by
occupation, for all productive sectors of the economy. Using this
structure, this indispensable new volume identifies the
occupations, professions, and sectors with the greatest losses, as
well as those showing a positive momentum, up to 2020.
