Greek government to address acute labor shortages as country faces surge of illegal migrants
Fox News
A major regularization program may be underway in Greece as the country faces a spike in migrant arrivals from Turkey. An official said labor shortages have slowed public projects.
The plan – similar to a 2020 reform in Italy – was due to be discussed later Tuesday at a national security meeting to be attended by Cabinet members and military leaders and chaired by center-right Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Kairidis said.
"We do not want to create new incentives for further illegal (migrant) flows because that is the danger," the minister said. "On the other hand, we want to go from black to white … from undeclared to declared labor to boost public revenue with employment taxes and contributions and help address dramatic (labor) shortages in certain sectors."
