70% of Ukrainians in Europe have higher education but work in low-skilled jobs: Why is it so.

The head of the 'Migration Policy Office', Vasyl Voskoboynyk, reported that 70% of Ukrainians who moved to Europe have higher education. However, they often work in low-skilled jobs.

Often, Ukrainians work in the field of regular physical labor or unskilled jobs. This is primarily due to their inability to quickly learn the language of the host country, to quickly validate their diplomas, or to acquire the competencies that are required by the host country.

According to him, Ukrainians who learn the language and socialize adapt faster and start working. In Germany, 39% of Ukrainians officially work, possessing the German language and the appropriate qualifications.

They already know the German language, have sufficient qualifications, which were either acquired before or improved.

In Poland, about 1.23 million foreigners officially work, with Ukrainians making up the largest portion. In addition, the Polish government has raised the minimum wage, including monthly payments and hourly rates.

Conclusion

According to reports, Ukrainians who move to Europe often have higher education but are forced to work in low-skilled positions due to language and diploma recognition issues. Those who successfully learn the language and improve their qualifications are able to find official jobs and adapt more quickly in another country.
