Ukraine is in the process of creating a new employment strategy.

The Ministry of Economy has outlined the key components of this new employment strategy. Many citizens are struggling to find employment, particularly veterans, individuals with disabilities, women, older adults, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and Ukrainians living abroad. Currently, around 4.65 million IDPs are registered in Ukraine, nearly two million of whom are of working age. Additionally, over 6.9 million citizens reside outside of Ukraine. The Ministry of Economy is developing a new strategy in which inclusion is essential for sustainable economic growth, rather than just an option.

Various solutions are being proposed: enhancing career counseling, adopting internship programs, and promoting professional retraining, implementing retraining initiatives for veterans, and endorsing integration programs, among others. Furthermore, the State Employment Service has reported an increase in job vacancies that offer housing benefits in response to the personnel shortage in Ukraine.

Currently, there are over 230,000 job postings available daily on the Unified Vacancy Portal, and since the start of the year employers have listed more than 2,000 job openings with housing provision. This reflects a 30% increase compared to the same period last year. Over the past year, 3,500 vacancies included housing benefits, with the highest concentration found in Kyiv and the surrounding areas.
