Is Greece developed?

Question

Is Greece a developed country? Would it be called a first country? Is it as developed as Canada or U.S ?

Answer 1

Greece is definitely a developed country. Compared to some states in the US (Alabama, Texas or other), I would even say it is far more developed (whether this applies to education, to infrastructure or both).

Among the 27 EU countries, it ranks 14th in wealth and together with Ireland has the highest growth rate during the last 10 years (~4% in 2006). Greece is also the 1st naval power in the world (in terms of number of ships, tankers or freight/cargo size) and a worldwide touristic destination.

For more check what the US itself reports on this or other EU countries:

As for those saying Greece is different in certain ways, I guess this applies to all countries. Unless you think Europeans live like Americans or that Italians live like Canadians or Dutch live like Spaniards. Naturally Greeks are different than...Canadians.

Answer 4

In 2013 Greece was downgraded from "developed country" to "emerging market" (or developing country). So, no, Greece is not a developed country.

Greece has been on a path towards reclassification as an emerging market since 2010, having failed operational and macro risk tests, including per-capita income, total market capitalisation and the level of trading volume, which determine the economic health and status of countries.

"Since the country began revealing unsustainable levels of public debt in 2009, it has been in state of economic crisis that at times has threatened to pull apart the entire European Monetary Union,"

Answer 5

Greece is very developed. And Greeks are in general more educated than people in most countries. However that being said, The Greek economy leaves much to be desired.

Answer 6

Greece ranks 23 in the list of countries. Now I have to argue with the meaning of "developed". The US is developed technologically but it is far behind in other terms ie education, literacy, infant mortality, health care etc.

Answer 7

It certainly does not qualify to be defined as undeveloped. It's industrial development is in different areas than countries who have access to different natural resources. It's major export is superb olive oilsaffola oil, wool from sheep who grow a finer hair, an expert grade of marble from it's quarries, wines, fish products, citrus, pomegranates, textiles, music, cereal grains, and they have the largest number of seagoing vessels registered to any country globally. From huge tankers, to huge freight liners. Their currency is the Euro, and minor industries include Erickson, Coca Cola, Siemens, and a couple of others, These industries are growing and increasing exports. Because of the possession of their land mass, they are the victims of not a few earthquake catastrophe. But Greece has a strong economy, and continues to grow.

Answer 9

Well i would say Greece is the Mold of USA because everywhere you go in DC or any states Capital you can see the Greek Architecture and the Constitution is Based on the writings of Aristotle and Plato the Lincoln memorial is exactly the same like Zeus of Olympia and the Thomas Jefferson Is like Goddess of Athena in Parthenon ! the Supreme Court is Exactly Like Parthenon Too or the Capitol the statue of Liberty is a them of the statue of Niki!

Answer 10

Good god......what a daft question. Greece is considered the birthplace of civilisation.

Answer 11

I would say it's developed, but operates (from my experience far differently from the US). The Truman Doctrine kept Greece on the Righteous/Godly/ Sean Hannity side of the Iron Curtain, but it didn't stop their socialist beliefs. I found the bureaucracy to apply for residency soul crushing.
I found the people are nice and if you live in Athens, you're just a short ferryt ride from the island of your choice.
