Abstract

Greece has become an international point of reference and analysis due to its unfortunate pioneering role in the course of the current economic crisis. The country was priced out of the international bond markets almost five years ago. The Greek debt crisis has sparked heated debates especially concerning industrial relations and the rising trends of unemployment. Structural reforms and labour market restructuring policies have been undertaken in line with the loan agreements based on the Troika’s premise that labour market regulation and social protection in Greece constituted a significant barrier to growth and a main driver of public debt (Koukiadaki and Kretsos, 2012).1
