Country profile
Greece ranks among the stronger performers in GEFRI, but still falls short of the target-readiness threshold. Most dimension scores sit close to global norms, without a single dimension standing far above the rest.
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 Innovation, sitting well above the peer average.
Most indicators are observed rather than imputed, so estimation uncertainty is limited.
