With one in five people unemployed and pensioners outnumbering those in work, the country is struggling with a record budget deficit and could sink into bankruptcy, analysts say. The country has more pensioners than those employed, and of those, more than 50% work in the public sector. More than 20% of the workforce is unemployed, and many of those with jobs barely survive on an average monthly salary equivalent to 350 euros.
