  1. Migration and «demographics» The demographic problem in Greece today

  2. Demographic developments have implications in : • Growth • Savings • Accumulation of wealth • Standard of living (of people) • Tax and insurance systems • Climate change - They are underestimated by investors and the business world, as well as the governments (they treat them as “a hot potato”).

  3. A big problem for the planet • Aging and retirement of the workforce point out the question of who will bear the cost of the elderly, as BlackRock reports. • In 20-30 years: • Significant decrease in the Earth's population (mainly in the developed world) • Problems that will cause significant changes in consumption, savings and investment models will occur.

  4. The population of Greece will decrease significantly in the following years, as reported in a research conducted by the Berlin Institute • Τhe population of our country will drop to 9.9 million by 2030 and to 8.9 million by 2050, from the amount of almost 10.6 million today. • Greece has the eldest population across Europe, with more than a fifth of its inhabitants (21%) being over 65 years old.

  5. The elderly population of Greece is a major problem in the country • The phenomenon of the continuous and disproportionate increase in the elderly population (80 years and over) is one of the main components of the demographic problem in Greece.

  6. This problem leads many young people to leave the country as they have come to realise that the perspectives for their futures are bleak. • The demographic problem in Greece may be helped by the influx of immigrants coming into the country since 1998.

  7. In many greek villages this has proved to be true. The first Albanian immigrants to come into Greece who settled in remote areas of the country have provided a much needed boost. Schools have reopened and dead areas have started to be recultivated

  8. The financial crisis has set things back. Many of those who settled made lives for themselves but their offspring- born and raised in Greece are also now leaving the country for better and more secure economies.

  9. The new influx of immigrants is not helping in this way. Most of those arriving in Greece see it only as a temporary stop on their way to the richer European countries.

  10. The eu has to start seeing the positive aspects of immigration into Europe as a way to help the demographic problems of the whole continent. • A new policy that helps all parties involved.
