Family
Greek society is very coherent and family, a basic social institution, seems strong enough to support its members even at the most difficult times. Retirement homes are rare in Greece and many grandparents live in close proximity to their children and grandchildren. Divorce rates are among the lowest in the European Union (2008), but abortion rates among the highest.
