Based on 468 qualitative interview and survey responses with displaced Ukrainians’ in Canada and Germany, and the aspirations-capabilities framework, we identify how macro-level policies and individual resources and aspirations combine to shape wartime (im)mobility outcomes.

August 24, 2023

Authored by Irina Kuznetsova and Oksana Mikheieva, this Migration Research Series paper explores the impacts of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine on the individuals that were displaced before 2022. The authors argue that the pre-existing vulnerabilities of those stranded in occupied areas since February 2022 have been exacerbated, particularly at the intersections of displacement and immobility, and disability, older ag, and housing.

This paper looks at war-induced migration flows from Ukraine to Poland and Germany in 2022 to understand who is migrating and the challenges they face. Data were collected in the spring and summer of 2022 through survey questionnaires and interviews. The results of the research reveal that a) this wave of migration from Ukraine is overwhelmingly female; b) women are often migrating with children, which makes arranging appropriate childcare and school placement essential to their entry into the destination workforce; c) Ukrainian labor migration patterns before the war have had a significant impact on current flows; d) Ukrainian refugees to Poland and Germany often want to be able to travel regularly back to Ukraine; this affects their willingness to apply for temporary protection schemes that oblige them to remain in destination countries, which in turn makes it difficult to precisely quantify the number of refugees in a given country.

An online survey was conducted among displaced Ukrainian parents in Germany in the summer of 2022 as well as numerous qualitative interviews with both parents and pupils. The findings show the extent to which pursuing their education in parallel in Germany and Ukraine is placing a double burden on young Ukrainians. At the same time, the research sheds light on the reasons for educational choices and how families navigate this new situation.

In March 2025 at the latest, temporary protection for people fleeing Ukraine comes to an end. Determining what comes next is a complex process in which host countries must navigate multiple policy options, practical considerations, and political and economic interests. There is no time to waste in developing a coordinated approach, particularly due to the large number of people concerned, the range of countries involved, and the prospect of necessary legislative changes.

Fleeing Ukraine: Displaced people’s experiences in the EU

February 28, 2023

This report presents the findings of FRA’s 2022 online survey of displaced people from Ukraine. It covers the 10 EU countries that host a large number of people under temporary protection – Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Spain. Some 14,685 respondents shared their views of arriving and settling in the EU. These provide a unique insight into their experiences and feelings, including those of violence.

The survey findings also illustrate the challenges inherent in applying an instrument of temporary protection to a situation that is likely to have a long-term impact on people and our societies.

The DeZIM project "Refugee Women from Ukraine" conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with 32 women currently living with their children in Berlin and Frankfurt/Oder. The interviews shed light on the challenges the women currently face and the factors that determine whether they intend to stay here or return to Ukraine.

Die qualitative Umfrage unter nach Deutschland geflüchteten
Ukrainer*innen ermöglicht es, die Ergebnisse einer quantitativen Online-Umfrage zu ergänzen. Durch die Kombination von quantitativen und qualitativen Befragungen konnten zwei dominante kurzfristige Verhaltensstrategien – »in Deutschland bleiben« und »in die Ukraine zurückkehren« festgestellt werden. Zudem wurden sechs Anpassungsmodelle, die das Verhalten von Geflüchteten aus der Ukraine, auch auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, charakterisieren, identifiziert, und zwar (1) passive Erwartung der Rückkehr in die Ukraine, (2) motivierte Erwartung der Rückkehr in die Ukraine, (3) »auf der Suche nach sich selbst und seinem/ihrem Platz«, (4) »am Scheideweg«, (5) »bereit, es in Deutschland zu versuchen«, (6) überzeugt, zu bleiben.

In the framework of the project of the ifo Center for International Institutional Comparisons and Migration Research “Adaptation and Survival Strategies of Refugees from Ukraine in Germany: Between Work and Social Help” a quantitative online survey was conducted. This article aims at reconstructing and clarifying the socio-demographic portrait of Ukrainian refugees in Germany in order to assess their potential in the German labor market and the possible burden on the German social system. The focus of this study is also the plans and intentions of Ukrainian refugees in Germany. This study provides insights on how many Ukrainians will stay in Germany, return to Ukraine, or move to another country, and how many are ready to integrate into the German labor market.

The UNHCR estimates that by the end of March 2022, more than three million people have already fled Ukraine - and the number is rising daily. In Germany, too, accommodation is becoming scarce. In view of the increasing pressure to act, protection against violence is in danger of being pushed into the background when it comes to accommodation - even though it is an essential task of operators and sponsors of collective accommodation. In addition, Ukrainian refugees are increasingly being accommodated privately. What are the challenges in the current situation to protect refugees from violence and to support them as well as the accommodators in the best possible way?
