  12. 1.1 Purpose of the Dissertation The positive effect that education has on the labour force and market has been confirmed many times in the literature. Employees that graduated from at least upper secondary education are generally more likely to participate in the labour force and receive higher earnings compared to those with lower education. In addition, they are less likely to be unemployed (Cedefop, 2017). The last decade the long-lasting economic crisis, the consequences of which still affects many countries, changed drastically the labour market. The importance of skilled human capital for economic and social development was confirmed once again since skills are a driving force of economic and social development. Employees are part of the labour market and of the society also so countries with skilled human capital prosper not only in terms of growth but also in terms of well-being and social consistency. Furthermore, education and higher skills levels are connected with benefits not only for individuals and their families but for the society and the economy as a whole. According to Borjas (2010), people invest in education by estimating what they are willing to give up today in return for future rewards and the expectations about the lifetime earnings associated with employment at higher qualification levels. The aim of this dissertation is to provide us with information for the employees in Greece of the public and private sector and their investment in education, if any. During the last decade, Greece is facing a long-lasting economic crisis that has a huge impact in all aspects of life. The majority of the employees faced many difficulites e.g. salary cuts, unemployment, depreciation of their qualifications and skills, job insecurity and dissatisfaction e.t.c. Many of them proceeded in upgrading their skills as a solution to these problems. Through the questionnaire we will try to idetidy the reasons that led the employees to this shift in education.

    • Η οικονομική κρίση που ξεκίνησε στην Ελλάδα και ο άμεσος κίνδυνος στάσης πληρωμών, οδήγησε στα πρώτα μέτρα λιτότητας το 2010. Ο πρώτος τομέας που επλήγη ήταν ο δημόσιος καθώς κρίθηκε άμεση η ανάγκη εξοικονόμησης πόρων μέσω των περικοπών δαπανών, μισθών, επιδομάτων και υπερωριών. Παράλληλα, εξαγγέλθηκαν μέτρα και φόροι που επηρέασαν αρνητικά τόσο τον ιδιωτικό τομέα όσο και τον τομέα της αυτοαπασχόλησης. Σαρωτικές ήταν και οι αλλαγές στα εργασιακά οι οποίες, σε συνδυασμό με τη μείωση της ρευστότητας και της κατανάλωσης, είχαν ως αποτέλεσμα την κατακόρυφη αύξηση της ανεργίας. Στον δημόσιο τομέα για πρώτη φορά εφαρμόστηκε ο θεσμός της διαθεσιμότητας κατά τον οποίο μεγάλο μέρος των μόνιμων δημοσίων υπαλλήλων τέθηκε σε διαθεσιμότητα με την προοπτική κινητικότητας σε οποιοδήποτε άλλο φορέα δημοσίου ο οποίος είχε ανάγκες πλήρωσης προσωπικού καθώς πάγωσαν όλες οι προσλήψεις. Λόγω της μεγάλης γραφειοκρατίας και της δυσκινησίας του δημοσίου τομέα, ήταν ορατή η απόλυση στον δημόσιο τομέα καθώς μετά το πέρας του διαστήματος της κινητικότητας, ο υπάλληλος απολυόταν Στον ιδιωτικό τομέα εφαρμόστηκε ο ίδιος θεσμός με την διαφορά ότι δεν υπήρχε κινητικότητα αλλά άμεση απόλυση μετά το πέρας του διαστήματος της διαθεσιμότητας. Στον τομέα της αυτοαπασχόλησης τα πράγματα ήταν ακόμα πιο δύσκολα καθώς, υπό το βάρος των μέτρων και της λιτότητας, μικρές ατομικές επιχειρήσεις και καταστήματα έκλειναν οδηγώντας και άλλους στην ανεργία.
    • The financial crisis that began in Greece in 2008 and the immediate risk of insolvency, led to the first austerity measures in 2010. The first affected sector was the public one, as the need to save resources through cuts in spending, wages, allowances and overtime considered immediate. In addition, the institution of availability was implemented, making dismissal possible. At the same time, measures and taxes have been announced which have adversely affected both the public and private sector. Workplace changes were also sweeping and in line with a decline in liquidity and consumption resulted in a steep increase in unemployment. Employees began to doubt their skills set and their future employability. While crisis was at its peak, they signed up and, in most of the cases paid enough for classes – undergraduate, postgraduate – or they changed their professional field in order to adapt to the new environment. Is this urge to enhance their job performance and skills due to their willing to develop new skills for personal satisfaction or due to the fear of dismissal? On one hand, we have unemployment or poor salaries and one the other we have an increase in upgrading skills. Through primary research (questionnaires), the research will show whether this urge is real and what are the benefits of the economy from investing in upgrading skills.
