5 Countries With The Highest Labor Shortages In The World

2. Greece

Skilled Labor Shortage: 82%

Ageing Population: 23%

The Greek government has recently passed legislation to legalize the papers of around 30,000 unregistered migrants in an effort to address a severe labor shortage affecting various sectors of the economy. The decision aims to combat the impact of the exodus of workers prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly in agriculture, tourism, and construction. Critics argue that the bill is risky and could attract more illegal migrants, while supporters believe it will help integrate migrants into the workforce, boost public revenue, and address labor shortages.
