Ukrainian migrants in Poland: Socio-economic inclusion or exclusion?

an article by Weronika A Kusek (Northern Michigan University, USA) published in Local Economy: The Journal of the Local Economy Policy Unit Volume 34 Issue 7 (November 2019)

Abstract

Poland is an important country to study when assessing migration.

In fact, many scholars who focus on migration and its impact on the local economy, in relation to Poland, focus on Polish migrants living and working in countries such as the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, or Australia. This viewpoint presents a different focus by addressing the need to conduct more work on migrants who are coming to Poland to work to fulfil labour shortages and take advantage of the country’s growing economy.

Specifically this paper will look at Ukrainians who are migrating to Poland. The viewpoint will focus on push/pull factors and touch on aspects of the lived experience of Ukrainian migrants in Poland. This paper helps identify some observed trends from interviews to identify future research directions related to socio-economic inclusion or exclusion.
