Greeks fear losing jobs and poverty due to COVID-19 pandemic

Greeks who set aside their notorious propensity for defying laws they don’t like and mostly stayed home during a COVID-19 Coronavirus lockdown now are anxious the pandemic’s aftermath could leave them without work or in poverty, ANA reports.

Those were among the findings of a survey by the University of Aegean conducted by  professors Sotiris Chtouris and Anastasia Zisi from April 6-22 with data collected from the online SurveyBot platform, 

Some 56.4% of respondents were worried about joblessness and becoming impoverished as it’s uncertain if all the businesses required to close down the lockdown will be able to resume as before.

Another 26.7% said health fears were a big worry while only 4.8% were worried that they may lose someone close to them to the disease noted Kathimerini in a report on the survey’s findings.
