Antigone Lyberaki is an academic economist, activist, and former Member of Parliament, currently Professor of Economics at Panteion University in Athens. Her academic work delves into how structural and societal issues – small enterprises, gender, migration, ageing - impinge on development, with an especial interest in Greek political economy. This led her towards extensive civic engagement – as a BoD member and then as General Manager in SolidarityNow (a large NGO concerned with migration from 2014 to 2022), but also to political involvement – most recently as a twice-elected MP of a small reform-minded political party (To Potami). She lives and works in Athens with a husband and five cats. In her studies in Economics at the University of Athens in the aftermath of the Junta (1977-1982), she acquired an interest in the economics of developing countries and the development process in society. She developed that further, pursuing first an MPhil in Development Studies at the IDS, University of Sussex, culminating in the award in 1988 of a DPhil on the potential of small firms. Research of family firms led naturally to three interdisciplinary issues: First, towards the economics of gender and the family. Second, towards the study of ageing, and third, towards the study of the domestic impact of migrants. An example of this is a paper on how the arrival of female migrants in the mid1990s filled a care gap, triggering the rapid expansion of female employment which explained improved economic performance. Returning to Greece, she taught Economics at the Universities of the Aegean, Athens and Crete, before being appointed in 1992 as Assistant Professor of Economics at the Department of Economics and Regional Development, of Panteion University, rising to Full Professor in 1999. She has published 12 books and numerous academic articles in Greek and in English and is a frequent commentator on matters of policy, gender, ageing and migration. She has held visiting positions in New York (CUNY), Paris (EHESS) and the UK (Sussex and LSE). During her career she served in various capacities, e.g., as an elected member of the University Council of Panteion (2011), in the Governing Committee of the University of Central Greece, in the National School of Public Administration. She is currently member of the Research Advisory Group of the Hellenic Observatory of the LSE, and at the ELIAMEP.
