The main reason that pushes young Greeks to search
for employment abroad is the high level ofunemployment combined with the low salaries.
In Greece the discussion and the problem
concerning the transition of young people fromeducation to work, was almost absent.
There is a serious gap between University education

jobs for young people and helps increasing the
competitiveness of the economy.
Greece is in the 2nd worst position, concerning the
public expenditures on innovation in European Union.
