The impact of storm Daniel and storm Elias on Thessaly’s (Greece) labour market. An employment change forecast
Chart 1: Total Employment trends in the Region of Thessaly, 2008-2022.
This report forecasts the impact of the recent disastrous floods – Storm Daniel and Storm Elias, September 2023 – on the labour market in the Thessaly region. The focus is on the potential negative changes in employment, in particular the total number of jobs lost in the primary (agriculture and livestock) and secondary (manufacturing) sectors. The analysis is based on data from the ELSTAT Labour Force Survey for the period 2008-2022 and estimates losses over a three-year period (2023-2025).Read the full report here.

E-Reslab publishes vFCA, a composite index of work precariousness across the regions of the European Union
The research team of the E- Reslab Aegean project of the Research Laboratory for Labour Geography of the University of the Aegean, for the first time presented on December 6, the innovative index for measuring precariousness at work (vFCA) at a pan-European level.
More specifically, this composite index integrated data from 205 regions of the European Union, which give a vivid picture of precarious employment in these regions in two different periods. The first period is defined by the global economic crisis (2008-2014) and the changes brought about in the European Union regional labour markets by the austerity measures to contain it, and the second one is just before the outbreak of the pandemic and its first few months (2018-2020).
The index incorporates data relating to four different aspects of job insecurity, namely working time, flexibility of labour relations, involuntary temporary work and legislation on worker protection.
Through the vFCA, the media, researchers around the world, international organizations and policy makers can draw useful conclusions about the situation in the regional labour markets of the European Union with regard to precariousness. This is presented in a particularly easy-to-understand and interesting way on the project’s website (at https://reslab.aegean.gr/index.php/story-maps-3-2-2/) via two interactive maps (depending on the period under consideration). Interested parties can also read more about the research and scientific work on which the composite index is based.
