Ukrainian labor migrants to Poland increasingly are younger, picky about the work they do, and in command of rudimentary Polish. Of the migrants, 29% are under 36 years of age, and most of these come right after graduation, according to a joint study by the Warsaw University’s Center for East European Studies and the Center for Migrant Support in the Labor Market EWL. Men account for 60% and the portion of non-Polish speakers has fallen to 21%. As summarized by Ukrainska Pravda, the portion willing to work for Poland’s minimum wage has plummeted, from 40% in 2018 to 6% last year.
