Abstract

Over the last decades migration has altered the economic and social landscape of Greece. Key migrant flows triggering this transformation were the massive migrant inflows that commenced with the collapse of socialist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe in the early 1990's, the return flows provoked by the severe economic crisis affecting Greece since 2008, and the outflows of Greek nationals sparked by the same recession. Some of the main economic and social consequences of these flows are examined in this paper.
