The problems in Greece?

Question

l have to do a project, the topic is 'The Problems in Greece'.
Can anyone give me some main ideas N supporting ideas to me?
Thank you very much!

Answer 1

Problems:
1, Low wages - average monthly salary is 800 Euro
2, Unemployment is fairly high
3, Bureaucracy is slow, inefficient and based on anything but merit.
4, Too many people are apathetic and/or ignorant to littering (It's is disgusting to witness this on an everyday basis)
5, Highest accident rate in Europe for automobiles (Greeks are involved in more accidents and insurance claims than anything other country in Europe, figures reported for 2006)


This is a start... I am not bashing Greece as I chose to live here 3 years ago. I am simply stating facts and 5 examples of what I wish were different/improved about my chosen country.

Answer 2

For me the largest problems are unemployment (but its just unemployment for the educated), low wages and the lack of credibility of the public sector.Just to add that if you live outside Athens these problems are much much less . Another problem that i personally don't like is the huge number of smokers.
Greece as most countries in Europe has been having problems with the growing number of illegal immigrants and refugees.Also as a country it has some political problems with Turkey because of the Cyprus problem and borders and F.Y.R.O.M. because of the illegal use of the name and symbols of Macedonia which is a region of Greece.

Answer 3

Greece is a gateway to Europe for traffickers smuggling cannabis and heroin from the Middle East and Southwest Asia to the West and precursor chemicals to the East; some South American cocaine transits or is consumed in Greece; money laundering related to drug trafficking and organized crime. Recently a rocket was shot at the US embassy building in Athens.
