Bundle of labour-market reforms executed as Memorandum prior actions from February 2012 (under Papademos) through 2014 (under Samaras). Principal measures: minimum wage cut from €751 to €586 (22% reduction, €510 for workers under 25, €527 under 22 with apprenticeship exceptions) via Act of Ministerial Council 6/28.02.2012; suspension of automatic extension of sectoral collective agreements (extension-erga-omnes only by tripartite decision); elimination of 'after-effect' (metenergeia) of expired collective agreements beyond three months (Law 4046/2012); reduction of severance payments by c.50% (Law 4093/2012); shortened dismissal-notice periods; unilateral-arbitration restriction (court ruling then reinstated it in 2014); acceleration of OECD product-market recommendations in closed professions; labour-inspectorate digitalisation. Cumulative effect on unit labour costs was a c.20% cumulative reduction 2010-2014 restoring pre-euro-entry competitiveness on this metric. Social cost: unemployment peaked at 27.5% in 2013 (58% youth), long-term unemployment share reached 73%.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
