**Interview on Greece‘s Unemployment Rate – April 2023**
**Host:** Welcome to our segment on economic updates, and today we’re diving into the latest figures regarding unemployment in Greece. Joining me is Dr. Elena Kotsis, an economist specializing in labor markets. Thank you for being here, Dr. Kotsis.
**Dr. Kotsis:** Thank you for having me!
**Host:** So, let’s get straight to the numbers. The unemployment rate in Greece rose slightly to 11.20% in April 2023 from 11.10% in March. What does this slight increase indicate about the labor market?
**Dr. Kotsis:** The increase, although marginal, can suggest several dynamics at play. It shows that while we saw improvements in the number of registered unemployed persons, it may reflect seasonal trends or challenges in job creation that we are still grappling with. Industries often fluctuate in hiring patterns, especially during certain times of the year.
**Host:** That’s interesting. I noticed that the total number of registered unemployed in March was 1,035,580, showing a significant decrease from the previous year. What can you tell us about this decline?
**Dr. Kotsis:** Yes, the decrease of 56,929 persons compared to the same month last year, which represents a 5.2% drop, is a positive sign. It indicates that the labor market is indeed recovering, and more individuals are finding employment. However, it’s crucial to analyze further; we have about 51.5% of these unemployed individuals registered for over 12 months, suggesting a portion of the workforce is still facing long-term unemployment.
**Host:** That leads to an important point. With more than half of the registered unemployed being in that long-term category, what are the implications for economic policy moving forward?
**Dr. Kotsis:** Policymakers need to focus on creating targeted programs that not only stimulate job growth but also support those individuals who have been unemployed for extended periods. This could include reskilling initiatives, incentivizing companies to hire long-term unemployed individuals, and improving access to job training resources.
**Host:** And what about the gender breakdown? The data shows a significant number of men and women among the unemployed. How does gender play into the unemployment scenario in Greece?
**Dr. Kotsis:** Yes, the figures indicate that men comprise about 35.8% of the registered unemployed, while women are also significantly represented. It’s important to recognize the sectors that are most affected by unemployment and how gender roles influence job opportunities. Gender-specific barriers can persist and require tailored approaches to ensure both men and women have equal access to new opportunities.
**Host:** Thank you, Dr. Kotsis, for your insights on these numbers. It seems that while there’s some positive movement, there are still significant challenges ahead.
**Dr. Kotsis:** Absolutely. It’s a journey, and continued efforts will be essential for a sustainable recovery in Greece’s employment landscape.
**Host:** Thank you for joining us today. We’ll continue to monitor these trends and keep you updated.
