In 1960 the population was 8.327 million.
In 1980 it was 9.643 million.
In 2000 it was 10.917 million.
In 2010 it was 11.319 million.
The population growth of Greece has been significantly steady. There was no surge in population growth to explain the sudden hike in GDP in 2000 to 2008. In the same respect, the debt Greece has is serving a population that has consistent needs in the fact that growth is not outpacing GDP. Hm?
The Greek government, by measure of most European countries is a young government.
