16% of refugees from Ukraine declared their readiness to stay in Poland on a permanent basis last spring. In November 2022, 20% of Ukrainians say they want to move permanently.

A study by the National Bank of Poland noted that the war in Ukraine changed the cyclical nature of migration to a sustainable one.. Previously, Ukrainians went to Poland to work and study, but now they go to find asylum.

During the study, not only those Ukrainians who fled the war were interviewed, but also those who were in Poland before the full-scale invasion.

In 2020, only about 25% of Ukrainians (among labor migrants) declared their readiness to stay in Poland forever. And in November 2022 - more than 50%.

According to Wojciech Kononczuk, an expert at the Center for Oriental Studies, if these forecasts come true, then in ten years the population of Poland will grow by one million citizens as a result of the influx of Ukrainians..

The study reports that 56% of refugees surveyed plan to return to Ukraine, but only if the war ends quickly..

Among those who arrived in Poland before the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, only 25% of Ukrainians are ready to return home.

Among the main reasons for returning to Ukraine, refugees named longing for the family and faith in the imminent end of the war. Less popular are the education of children in a Ukrainian school and the lack of work in Poland.
