Abstract	This article focuses in two basic mismatches between the higher education system and the labour market in Greece. The first concerns the interplay between supply and demand of highly educated labour force. The second concerns the relationship between the knowledge and skills required by the economy and the ones by the provided by the higher education system. The study of the first mismatch is based on the international evidence that Greece forms the most notable exception in EU or OECD countries regarding the high unemployment rates of young graduates. This pheneomenon is attributed to the gap between the ... strong demand for higher education and the limited demand of the domestic industry for highly educated personnel. ... The rest of the article focuses on the second mismatch by analysing curriculum assessments by Greek graduates, based on a field research ... . The data show that even the 'upper' segment of the Greek higher education system is adapting rather slowly to the new mix of knowledge and skills required by the emerging knowledge- based economy.
