The report of the Unified System of Control and Payment of Pensions “ILIOS” made public by the Labor Ministry shows that 1.2 million Greek pensioners live on less than 500 euros per month.

According to the “ILIOS” report, the average main pension is 722 euros per month, the average supplementary pension is 170 euros and the average dividend to State pensioners is 97 euros per month.
