Greece: Stay or go? | European Journal

Young people in Greece are being disproportionately hit by the country's financial crisis and budgetary cuts. Many now want to emigrate, which could have serious consequences for the future of the nation.The lucky few who find jobs after school or university are often paid a paltry internship wage.
