Labour market integration is crucial for people to rebuild their lives following forced displacement and attain stable livelihoods. It also decreases costs for the host societies.
This joint EMN-OECD inform highlights insights on labour market integration of beneficiaries of temporary protection (BOTPs) from Ukraine. It examines employment rates, policies, and measures across EMN countries. The majority of host countries report targeted measures and practices to facilitate employment of BOTPs in roles that align with their competencies. These focus primarily on qualification recognition, language acquisition, and specific sectors, with some specifically targeting women. Most report general and mainstream support measures and targeted measures to facilitate access to the labour market, but do not provide targeted assistance for employed BOTPs who struggle to meet their basic needs.
