Winners of the FOR UKRAINE Programme

Project title: “Determinants of labour-market performance and well-being of high-skilled Ukrainian refugees in Poland.” The aim of the research project is to assess the labor-market performance as well as the general well-being and migration strategies of high-skilled Ukrainian migrants. This group is particularly prone to occupational downgrading, detrimental to their personal well-being and the economic performance of the host economy. Researchers plan to assemble a panel of around 200 high-skilled Ukrainian refugees, who fled their homeland after Russian military aggression on Ukraine. These individuals will be monitored during the period of one year (and possibly beyond). The participants will be offered training (including Polish language and IT skills), which will be staggered in time. Thus, a randomized experiment will allow for causal inference on the effects of the training via a difference in difference method.
