Stark picture for young Greeks

The problem of mass youth unemployment in Greece is nothing new. But a new report by McKinsey & Company paints a stark picture for the young and talented. For student Dimitris Makrystathis, saying goodbye to old friends has become the norm.

In a phone interview, Dimitris says three out of five of his friends are leaving Greece to find work.

According to the report, more than half of young Greeks feel their education is useless. With last years unemployment rate above 55 per cent, Dimitris isn’t the only one saying goodbye to his friends.
