It focuses on three policy areas, which are key to social and\u00a0economic integration: (1) labour market; (2) healthcare and social<br \/>\nwelfare services; and (3) education and training. Structural factors,\u00a0such as a shrinking labour market, high unemployment rates and an\u00a0ongoing restructuring of labour relations, as well as various\u00a0bureaucratic hurdles hinder labour market access. A generally\u00a0overwhelmed and underfunded health system, the ongoing\u00a0curtailment of social welfare provisions, and a number of practical\u00a0obstacles limit access to healthcare and social welfare services.<br \/>\nDespite the significant progress that has been recorded in the area\u00a0of integration of refugee children in Greek schools, some practical\u00a0problems still persist, while there are still steps to be taken towards\u00a0their formal integration in school life. On the other hand, limited\u00a0progress has been recorded in the area of integration of adult\u00a0refugees in higher education and vocational training programmes.\u00a0The brief concludes that apart from objective obstacles, various\u00a0perceived issues of concern among the public, as well as the living\u00a0conditions of displaced persons who remain on the islands equally\u00a0hinder the prospects for refugee integration in mainland Greece.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This policy brief provides an outline of the prospects for and\u00a0challenges to integration of international protection beneficiaries\u00a0and applicants in mainland Greece, based on emerging research\u00a0findings.
