Ukrainian refugees in Poland shared plans for the future: research

According to a survey conducted by the international employment agency Gremi Personal, about 20% of Ukrainian refugees who found shelter in Poland after the start of the war plan to return to their country before the start of winter, writes schengenvisasnfo.com.

22% of respondents intend to travel to Ukraine this fall-winter. On the other hand, 35 percent of them will remain in Poland until next year. 26 percent of refugees intend to return after the end of the war. About 17% of respondents indicated that they would stay in Poland indefinitely, the study says.

Why Ukrainians are not in a hurry to go home

It is reported that refugees remain in another country not only because of the threat to life, but also because of the lack of housing and work in Ukraine.

Some want to "overwinter" in Poland, doubting that Ukraine will have a successful heating season.

In some regions of Ukraine there is no stable water supply and heating due to active hostilities. Ukraine has seen an increase in unemployment since the outbreak of hostilities. At the same time, Poland offers Ukrainian immigrants more comfortable conditions, especially for employment, the agency noted.

Work

Ukrainians are actively integrating in Poland. Due to the proximity of languages and cultures, it is quite easy for them to find a job.

Since the beginning of the academic year, more and more Ukrainian women have expressed a desire to work in Polish companies. Employers in Poland offer more attractive conditions than in war-torn Ukraine.

By the way, Poland is the leader in terms of the number of temporary protection statuses granted in June. Romania follows.
