Abstract
The mass influx of both male and female immigrants in Greece has been the corecharacteristic of Greece’s economic growth for the last two decades. All available datalead us to the conclusion that immigration to Greece is motivated by economic factors:the pursuit of employment. In this article we shall attempt to place the work ofimmigrant women in the context of the hierarchical and exploitive relations thatprevail in the labour market.The article consists of three parts. The first part describes the hierarchical structureof the Greek labour market and outlines the upcoming developments and the emphasisplaced on gender discrimination. In the second part, the basic findings of the empiricalresearch are presented. The third part draws the main conclusions.
