“…Unemployment rates for the under-30s are particularly high: 49.5% for individuals aged 15-24 and 39.7% for individuals aged 25-29 (Elstat, 2014). The number of people whose income fell below the 2009 poverty line (adjusted for inflation) reached 45% in 2013 (Matsaganis and Leventi, 2014). Overall, 1 in 7 people were below the extreme poverty threshold in 2013, compared to 1 in 45 in 2009, while poverty rates were higher among younger households in urban areas (Matsaganis and Leventi, 2014).…”

Newcastle University ePrints -eprint.ncl.ac.uk Remoundou K, Gkartzios M, Garrod G. Conceptualizing mobility in times of crisis: towards crisis-led counterurbanization? Regional Studies (2015)Abstract This study makes a novel theoretical and empirical contribution to the counterurbanisation literature. Firstly, the research offers a new conceptualization by drawing on the potential for a crisis-led counterurbanisation in Athens, Greece. Secondly, the paper employs a quantitative methodology, a choice experiment, to study such mobilities and examine the factors that may influence the choice of relocation. The results confirm the potential for a crisis-led counterurbanisation, particularly amongst younger and unemployed individuals.The findings are important for conceptualising mobility in times of crisis and for identifying areas that require policy attention due to the likely restructuring they will experience.

“…In the literature analysed, there is also no evidence of the emergency policies having a positive impact on job creation. In fact, various authors have found they have had a negative impact on worker rights, contributed to the destruction of employment (Miguélez et al, 2015), reduced the quality of employment, weakened collective bargaining (Torres, 2015), and increased poverty and inequality (Matsaganis and Leventi, 2014;Carmo and Cantante, 2015). Regarding the latter, important trends have emerged, particularly the reconfiguration of the traditional processes producing inequalities, with unemployment emerging as a new structural variable of social inequality, alongside of sex, age and education (Carmo and Cantante, 2015).…”

ResumenEn este artículo se comparan las principales reformas introducidas en los mercados laborales portugués, español y griego desde el inicio de la crisis. Recurriendo a un análisis documental y estadístico, se consideran las semejantes características institucionales, históricas y geográficas de estos países, así como sus particularidades. Los resultados indican que las políticas de emergencia tienden a parecerse y a incidir sobre los despidos, los contratos de trabajo, la jornada laboral, los salarios, la negociación colectiva y las condiciones de trabajo en el sector público. Sin embargo, las diferencias estructurales entre estos países en el periodo pre-crisis y los diferentes efectos que la crisis tuvo en cada uno de ellos, ayudan a comprender eventuales diferencias de resultados, contribuyendo al cuestionamiento de la homogeneidad interna del modelo mediterráneo. Key words AbstractIn this article, we analyse the main reforms introduced in the Portuguese, Spanish and Greek labour-markets since the beginning of the crisis. Based in a documental and statistical analysis, the study takes in consideration the similar institutional, historical and geographic characteristics of these countries, but also their particularities. Results show that the emergency policies tend to resemble and to concentrate on dismissals, contracts, working time, salaries, collective bargaining and working conditions in the public sector. Nonetheless, the pre-crisis structural variations between these countries, together with the different effects that the crisis had in each one of them, help to understand possible differences in terms of results, giving a new contribution to the questioning of the internal homogeneity of the Mediterranean model.

Revista Española de Investigaciones Sociológicas, Crisis y trabajo. Un análisis de las políticas laborales de emergencia en Portugal, España y Grecia Cómo citar IntroduccIónEs ampliamente reconocido que los motivos que originaron la crisis financiera y económi-ca más reciente están relacionados con la desregulación y con las irregularidades del sistema financiero global (Freeman, 2010;Lallement, 2011;Krugman, 2012;Stiglitz, 2009). En el caso europeo, la globalización de los mercados y la integración monetaria intensificaron sus efectos llegando a ponerse en cuestión la continuidad de la moneda única.Considerada como la primera gran crisis de la era de la globalización, la crisis iniciada en los años 2007/2008 ha transformado significativamente el contexto económico mundial, generando una diversidad de retos en los sistemas económicos y financieros, e impactando de forma abrupta en los mercados de trabajo. De hecho, la recesión y el desempleo han surgido como consecuencias directas de la crisis y, si es verdad que para enfrentarlos algunos países implementaron medidas de estímulo al crecimiento, también es cierto que, sobre todo a partir de 2010, empezaro...

“…The large-scale arrival of refugees/asylum seekers have challenged Greeks to cope with a twofold crisis: the economic crisis as well as the refugee crisis. Concerning the economic crisis, in the last six years Greece has faced the most acute recession in its modern history with devastating socio-economic impacts on individuals' lives echoed in record unemployment and poverty rates (Matsaganis and Leventi 2014;OECD 2014). Since 2015, the country has been strained by both economic depression and the massive migration inflows of hundreds of thousands of refugees/asylum seekers.…”
