“…The same results on training were found for other Greek regions as well (see Rodokanakis, 2009a and2009b;Rodokanakis and Tryfonidis, 2009;Rodokanakis, 2010a and2010b;Rodokanakis and Moustaki, 2010). Also, the results of the logistic regression confi rm the conclusions of the various studies for the limited impact of vocational training in Greece (see section 6).…”

“…In other words, the more trained a person was did not affect his chances of finding a job, in Greece, during the time period of CSFs 1 and 2. The same results on training were found for other Greek regions and the entire country as well (see Livanos, 2007 and2009;Rodokanakis, 2010a and2010b;Rodokanakis and Vlachos, 2013). The exceptions are the findings for the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace in 2000 concerning the training variables "apprenticeship" and "CVT" (less likely to be unemployed than the non-trainees -see Rodokanakis and Vlachos, 2012).…”

In particular, the human capital theory is tested, as well as the matching theory. This article examines the impact that vocational training programmes and level of education had on the labour market, and especially on the chances of finding a job, of semi-peripheral EU countries, using Greece as a case study during the period 1988-2000, and links the research to the present economic situation in Greece. Apart from an extended interaction effects analysis, the study moves beyond the econometric analysis of microlevel data, and embeds the empirical findings within the institutional/organizational environment of Greek vocational training (meso-level) to provide a comprehensive explanation of what empirically is identified as the minimal impact of these policies. One of the contributions of this paper is that, given the experience in Greece, it is evident that abstract micro-level theories of skills mismatch, like the human capital theory, cannot be applied in political economies where labour markets cannot absorb high skills and where demand for jobs requiring these is weak. The results of this research support matching theory better than human capital theory.

“…The variable "immigrant status" was found to be statistically nonsignificant in Attica. Also, people who were registered in OAED were less likely to be employed (for econometric evidence for Greek NUTS-2 areas and the entire country evaluated up to 1992, see [19][20][21][22] or for Greek NUTS-2 areas evaluated up to 2006, see [23,24]). Table 4 presents the results from the logistic regression in Greece as a whole for 2006.…”

This paper investigates the probability of employment in Greece and focuses on 2006, namely, well after the Athens 2004 Olympics and its fiscal stimulus and before the eruption of the global financial crisis of 2007–2009 that transformed into an economic and sovereign debt crisis with unprecedented consequences in the country's postwar economic history. Based on microdata from the Labour Force Survey, the analysis depicts the impact of gender, age, marital status, area of residence, level of education, and immigrant status on finding a job, in Greece as a whole and the two most populated Greek regions, Attica and Central Macedonia. The findings of the logit model show differences in the three areas under examination mainly among the educational variables and area of residence.
