Abstract
Greece has been typically a southern European emigration country until the 1970s but shifted rather abruptly to becoming a host country after 1989, developing slowly and reluctantly migration, integration, and asylum policies. This chapter offers an overview of the migration policies and challenges that Greece faces in the twenty-first century and on how these have evolved in the 2000s and 2010s. The chapter starts with a short presentation of the migrant population in Greece, its composition, and its insertion in the labour market so as to give a sense of the socio-economic and demographic importance of immigration in Greek society today. It then looks at the evolution of immigration and asylum policies in relation also to the politics behind such evolutions, notably the positions of the two main parties, New Democracy and PASOK, and more recently SYRIZA, as well as the role of external pressures from fellow member states and EU institutions and the overall role of exogenous factors, such as the dramatic increase of asylum-seeking flows since 2015. The chapter concludes with some critical observations concerning the present and future of immigrants and their descendants in Greek society.
