Greece is the 20th country to have had its youth policy reviewed by an
international review team appointed by the Council of Europe. The financial
crisis and resulting high unemployment rate, especially among young people,
was the major concern encountered by the review team. Although the crisis has
compelled Greece to engage in profound fiscal reform and address many of its
structural weaknesses, this has not been matched by labour market activation
policies and other youth policy measures needed to reverse the mood of
despondency and stem the tide of emigration of young people.
This international review focused in particular on two aspects of youth
transitions: the transition from the education system to the labour market;
and the related issue of military service and conscription, which is an
integral part of life for young men in Greece. The review team also considered
characteristics of the public administration, which dwells on bureaucratic
compliance and has limited scope and licence for fostering initiative and
creativity, despite incessant rhetoric about the need for “entrepreneurship”.
The review team advocates the establishment of more creative and innovative
mechanisms to free the entrepreneurial and participative spirit not only of
young people in Greece, but also of its regional and local administrations,
youth organisations and local youth councils, in order for them to provide
timely and purposeful intervention, opportunity and support according to local
need and circumstances.
