Poverty-GreeksA recent OECD report on poverty revealed that the 17.9% of Greeks can’t afford to buy food – more than in countries with lower per capita income such as Brazil and China. The OECD report, entitled “Society at a Glance 2014″, details huge income losses incurred by Greeks during the period 2007-2012, averaging 4,400 euros per person – the highest among OECD countries and four times the eurozone average.
