Why young people are leaving Greece
Kris wants to leave — life in Greece has become too exhausting and stressful. In this video, she shares what life is like for her and many other young people — and how the financial crisis 15 years ago still affects them today.
Kris is overworked. For years, she has been working 10-hour days, often under extreme weather conditions. She is one of many young people in Greece struggling with a heavy workload and high stress levels.
Even 15 years after the debt crisis, many people in Greece are still not doing well. Working conditions remain difficult, well-paid jobs are scarce, and many talented young people end up in the hospitality industry — a sector in Greece that heavily depends on tourism.
That’s why Kris is considering emigrating.
