COVID-19 Pandemic and Health and Social Inequalities Worldwide: Impact and Response Measures in Greece

CONCLUSIONS: The pandemic has exacerbated long-standing health and socioeconomic inequalities, stressing to governments the need to adopt political strategies that will help address them. Measures have been taken in Greece for labor protection, and unemployment benefits, such as the two-month extension of the subsidy period for the unemployed and the long-term unemployed. Minimum insurance days have also been reduced so that citizens employed in tourism, catering, and other seasonal occupations can receive unemployment benefits.PMID:37581813 | DOI:10.1007/978-3-031-31986-0_38
