Barriers to employment of displaced Ukrainians Promoting social cohesion and convergence

FRA, Eurofund, (2023)

The document discusses the response of social services in host countries to the large influx of people displaced from Ukraine, emphasising the importance of swift access to the labour market for short-term and long-term integration. The Temporary Protection Directive (TPD) and EU Charter of Fundamental Rights highlight the right of displaced individuals to work under equal conditions. The European Commission’s guidance aims to ensure non-discrimination and address specific vulnerabilities. Integration measures, including access to public services, housing, education, health, and employment assistance, are crucial for successful labour market participation. Challenges such as housing, education, and mental health support are addressed, and recommendations for facilitating recognition of qualifications are provided.

Stepping UP: Ukrainian Refugees, Changemaking & How to Make Europe a Better Place for All

Hello Europe

The Stepping UP Report is published by Ashoka which is the world´s largest network of social entrepreneurs. The report shares challenges and visions from different practitioners. It emphasises “how Europe can and should step up: how to engage refugees if we want to go beyond crisis relief towards re-framing refugees as changemakers.”

“The “stepping UP Report” highlights the diversity of the solutions offered by changemakers and their self-perception, the issues of mental health and access to funding. It addresses such barriers as harmful narratives and propaganda and outlines the mindset shifts that need to take place in order for refugees to be seen as a positive force and valued for their contribution.”

“The mental health consequences of the war in Ukraine will be enormous. Mental health professionals who are providing care for people in Ukraine, or those resettled elsewhere, may require access to standardised and validated assessment tools. We have developed a repository of mental health measures that are available in Ukrainian, Russian and English and can be accessed at www.traumameasuresglobal.com/ukraine.”
