“…The Greek case is more puzzling, as the young respondents appear to be much less able to afford basic standard of living costs than their parents, but more able to afford extras. This is an interesting aspect of the data and deserves a more thorough investigation, especially considering the Greek experience with austerity (see Ladi 2014;Andriopoulou et al 2018).…”

“…One of the most vulnerable population groups during the crisis are households headed by individuals self‐employed in the agricultural sector; such households have monetary incomes below two thirds of the national average, although consumption of their own agricultural production mitigates the intensity of their poverty. Recent research findings also suggest that members of households headed by individuals self‐employed in agriculture and by unemployed individuals are the two groups facing the highest poverty risk (Andriopoulou et al ).…”

Rural areas are places where various social groups live either permanently or seasonally. The mobilities and immobilities of these groups are related to their differential resources. The vast impact of the financial crisis on Greece relates to the major decline of its GDP and enormous increase in unemployment. The article aims to shed light on the complexities of social marginalisation and social exclusion in rural Greece, but also, and more importantly, to theorise the coping mechanisms and strategies by those affected and build upon the experiences of rural areas during the prolonged economic crisis. Population dynamics and the various social and spatial mobilities in rural areas provide the baseline for tracing rural complexities and theorising the emergent coping strategies. The concepts of rural cosmopolitanism and resilience are used to unpack the complexities of marginalisation and social exclusion in rural Greece. A brief reference to the statistical data resolves the apparent controversies related to the changing regional and local geography of poverty and social exclusion in Greece during the crisis. The more focused empirical findings, illustrated in the form of two island areas, illustrate the various coping mechanisms and strategies that are emerging in rural Greece.

“…During this period, thousands of asylum seekers required immediate humanitarian assistance in terms of healthcare, food, first aid, and accommodation. However, Greece was just coming out of the deepest economic crisis ever recorded in an OECD country since post‐war period (Andriopoulou et al, 2017) where the real GDP declined by 27%. The high levels of arrivals in combination with the lack of financial sources of an already strained welfare system by the austerity measures found the Greek authorities “trapped,” unprepared, and inefficient to respond to the emerging needs.…”

Since 2015, Greece has experienced an unprecedented influx of asylum seekers. For several months, most humanitarian assistance provided to them by non‐governmental organisations (NGOs) heavily relied on in‐kind donations. Donations of tangible items frequently pose serious management challenges and may disturb relief distribution. Through empirical research based on a questionnaire survey and interviews, we find that NGOs have increasingly cooperated and coped well with these management issues. Despite the lack of formal coordination mechanisms, it seems that donation of goods acted as an incentive for cooperation. In contrast, in‐kind donations of services (volunteerism) did not seem to have the same effect.
