Ukraine’s migration monitoring: forced and labour mobility

Ukraine’s migration monitoring: forced and labour mobility

The project is aimed at systematic monitoring of current migration dynamics in Ukraine (both internal and international migration, particularly to V4 and the EU) resulted from Crimea annexation and armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine. It will investigate both qualitative and quantitative (where possible) characteristics of forced migration and accompanying economic-driven migration. It will also present policy recommendations for the V4 governments, EU institutions and Ukrainian government.

The project is aimed at systematic monitoring of current migration dynamics in Ukraine (both internal and international migration, particularly to V4 and the EU) resulted from Crimea annexation and armed conflict in Eastern Ukraine. It will investigate both qualitative and quantitative (where possible) characteristics of forced migration and accompanying economic-driven migration. It will also present policy recommendations for the V4 governments, EU institutions and Ukrainian government.

The main questions to be answered during project implementation are following:
1) How Crimea annexation and conflict in Eastern Ukraine has influenced mobility patterns of Ukrainian population?;
2) What are the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of internally displaced persons and asylum seekers from Ukraine?;
3) What are the main motives that drive IDPs and asylum seekers to leave the conflict zone?
4) Has Crimea annexation and conflict in Eastern Ukraine influenced labour migration in Ukrainian society?
5) What is the legal and social situation of Ukrainian forced migrants?
6) What could be done to better address needs of Ukrainian forced migrants? What policy changes could be implemented by Ukrainian government, V4 governments and the EU?
