- W4200204540 abstract "AbstractDuring the period from 2009-2015, Greece experienced one of the longest and deepest recessions that any western economy endured in the 20th century; its real GDP fell by over a quarter and all social and employment indicators deteriorated at an unprecedented rate. The ensuing fiscal consolidation measures not only relied on increased taxation but also on significant retrenchment of social security benefits, as well as on extensive reforms of several branches of the social security system, thereby altering its shape and capacity. The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the Greek social security system in the aftermath of the economic recession; emphasis is placed on the more important branches of the system such as pensions, healthcare and minimum income support. The analysis is based on a document analysis of legislative acts, official reports and research papers regarding national social policy; it utilizes a variety of statistical indices and quantitative information available from national and international agencies. By offering a snapshot of the system that crystallized in the aftermath of the recession and succinctly analyzing a selection of recent pivotal reforms, this chapter addresses the most important policy challenges that lie ahead in relation to building a sustainable and equitable social security system. The study shows that although austerity in general harmed social policy, several structural reforms were positive. However, in the coming years, considerable policy effort is needed to address the challenges of population ageing, tight public budget constraints and striking a balance between efficiency and equity." @default.
