Experts believe that assistance programs from international organizations, programs for the return and adaptation of people to new conditions in their homeland can work for the return of refugees.
The unfavorable psychological climate and financial problems are some of the reasons that may have prevented many Ukrainians from going abroad to return home. This is stated in the publication in RBC-Ukraine.
“If we offer benefits or payments to those currently abroad, then the question arises: the one who, say, in the Chernihiv region, does not have to pay anything?” – said the director of the Institute of Demography and Social Research. Birds of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Academician Ella Libanova.
The state now has very limited resources to do something for the return of refugees, the director of the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) Volodymyr Paniotto is convinced.
“An unfavorable psychological climate is one of the reasons that can prevent you from coming back. Now there is a negative attitude towards those who leave. Right now, we only see it on Facebook, but the trend can be dangerous Those who remained, experiencing some problems of the war, were annoyed with the problems of Ukrainians abroad. Here they are under bombs, but there are problems – uncomfortable housing or money is not paid on time, “Paniotto believes.
Experts believe that assistance programs from international organizations, programs for the return and adaptation of people to new conditions in their homeland can work for the return of refugees.
“Now all programs for the development of science are intended for the departed. I am interested in the support of fellow scientists. All programs are not focused on return. But we will need a lot of people to bring Ukraine back. Why “We will lose population? There are many problems: how many have died, how many will be disabled,” he added.
Refugees forced to leave Ukraine because of a massive Russian invasion will begin to return home, provided that the economy in our country grows and jobs increase.
“We can really say that if the economy grows, jobs will be restored. We will have a growing demand for workers, but they will not be enough,” said Alexei Antipovich, director of the Rating sociological group.
According to the sociological group “Rating”, approximately 40% of respondents lost their jobs after the start of the war – either because of business closures, or because they had to leave.
“Now the economy is in stagnation. People will go abroad if jobs don’t recover. But when the economy grows, there will be a need for new sources of labor. They may still need to be attracted abroad , and then a very balanced migration policy. is necessary regarding migrant workers in Ukraine, “said Antipovich.
According to the UN, the number of refugees from Ukraine who have received temporary protection status in European countries has reached 3.407 million. Several million more citizens are abroad without refugee status.
And according to the European Union, since the start of the war, more than 5.7 million people have left Ukraine, of which more than 2.8 million Ukrainians have returned home.
