Country profile
Greece shows progressing readiness, with important strengths but continued gaps across the system. Its strongest results are in Human Capital (71, 99th percentile).
Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned. High internet adoption enables broad participation in digital learning and innovation. Strong tertiary enrollment expands future talent pipelines and strengthens national innovation potential.
A large research workforce accelerates experimentation, technology adoption, and applied innovation. Gender parity leans toward boys in secondary pathways, signalling persistent barriers for girls.
Regionally, Greece leads most clearly in Human Capital, sitting well above the peer average.
Areas with room to grow: Infrastructure (67, 68th percentile). These dimensions sit close to global norms and could accelerate quickly with targeted investment.
Most indicators are observed rather than imputed, so estimation uncertainty is limited.
