Between 2010 and 2021, about 600,000 educated Greeks left the country, prompting the finance ministry to offer tax incentives to encourage their return. Despite these efforts, emigration continues, though at a reduced rate. The Greek government, under Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, is working to reverse this trend by offering a 50 percent tax rebate for returning expatriates. However, challenges remain, including low living standards and high unemployment, which make it difficult for many to return.
