A Review of Greek Emigrants

In recent years, Greece has undergone major economic and social transformations. Given the significant emigration of the Greek population and the recognition of the contributions of the diaspora, Greek authorities are seeking to better understand this pool of talent residing abroad, which has great potential to contribute to the economic and social development of the country. This review presents the first comprehensive portrait of the Greek diaspora in OECD countries. Through a detailed profiling of Greek emigrants’ demographic characteristics, educational attainment and labour market outcomes, this review aims to strengthen the evidence base on Greeks abroad and support the design, refinement and consolidation of policies aligned with Greece’s evolving approach to diaspora engagement.
