Has Greece Gone Away?

Tom Winnifrith
Sunday 9 February 2014

There has been a curious silence on the woes of Greece for the past few months. You might just have thought that its problems had gone away. Oh no…

The economy is still buggered with youth unemployment at 65%. In the long run it is demographics that will kill Greece as a nation. Quite simply, the mass exodus of young folks in search of work will see the average age (already 44) increase sharply. The retirement age for many is 52 and life expectancy is 81. I am sure you can work out why this will kill off Greece.
