You may have seen by now that Greece is one step away from formalizing an agreement with India’s government to supply 50,000 Indian workers each year to bolster specific sectors of the Greek economy. These people will be both unskilled and skilled workers, and will likely be the recipient of lower tax obligations, compared to those of Greek citizens. The idea that Greece is considering the strategic import of tens of thousands of foreign workers – instead of trying to attract the nearly five million Greeks living abroad – is puzzling, to say the least.
