“…To determine the channels through which Ukrainian migrants acquired information about the state's activities in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and the sanitary requirements being introduced, a survey was implemented on a non-random sample of economic migrants from Ukraine [45]. A total of 617 people participated in the survey, including 440 women (71.31%) and 177 men (28.69%).…”

This paper examines communication processes between state institutions and migrants under the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. It aims to determine where migrants obtain their information on specific legal regulations and restrictions on rules of conduct in the public space and professional environment. This issue is examined through the example of Ukrainian labour immigration in Poland. Referring to the results of our survey research, it is established that in a crisis, when the importance of information in the public sphere increases and, at the same time, direct social contacts are restricted, the special role of the employer is revealed. The employer is perceived not only as an entity offering work, but also as an important channel of information about state policy, regulations and rules of conduct applicable in a crisis. These findings are an indication, on the one hand, for state institutions to take this role of employers into account in migration policy and, on the other hand, for employers themselves to be aware of their social role towards migrants and play it responsibly. We believe that the study, conducted in the first two months of the pandemic, has become very timely with the outbreak of the Ukrainian–Russian war.

“…They also acknowledge the nuances and challenges faced by migrants seeking better prospects in unfamiliar territories. Migration plays a crucial role in labor market reform and the exchange of experience (Kowalewska et al, 2021). Employment opportunities are determined by individual qualifications, social class, and ethnicity (Yeröz, 2019).…”

This study aims to examine the gendered aspects of Ukrainians' migration processes, their satisfaction with life in another country and the relationship between life satisfaction and work, education and the use of social services. The study was conducted by interviewing 585 respondents, analyzing the data and calculating the correlation coefficient between certain variables. The study revealed that displacement can lead to various issues such as legal status, loss of skilled professionals, forced migration, stereotyping, limited job opportunities, cultural adaptation, and language barriers. Additionally, the survey found that migrants who utilize social services report higher levels of life satisfaction compared to those who do not. These individuals are more likely to be employed in particular specialties. Additionally, migrants between the ages of 30-40 report higher life satisfaction compared to those between the ages of 20-30. Migrant men and women between the ages of 20-30 and 31-40, with higher levels of education, reported statistically higher levels of life satisfaction than those with lower levels of education. Social services can significantly increase the level of satisfaction with the quality of life and contribute to the economic development of the host country, as well as the well-being of the migrants themselves.

“…Research conducted among immigrants in Poznań (Poland) has shown that these strategies can be very different, and they depend, among others, on the immigrant's social capital (Churski et al, 2021). One of the biggest concerns, apart from health issues, that migrants had staying in Poland during the pandemic was the loss of a job and the economic downturn (Kowalewska, Adamczyk & Trojanowska-Strzeboszewska, 2021).…”

During the first (spring 2020) and second wave (autumn 2020) of the COVID-19 pandemic, Poland was among the countries with the strictest regulation, lockdown, and national quarantine. The pandemic has significantly influenced the situation of enterprises, especially for immigrants. The main aim and contribution of this paper is the analysis of the immigrant’s situation during the pandemic from the perspective of companies. The research goal is the identification of strategies adopted by the firms employing immigrants, so as to providing additional help to their foreign workforce during the pandemic. For the purpose of this research, a multilevel model of the triangulation design was chosen. The qualitative research included seven in-depth-interviews with purposefully selected enterprises. The quantitative study was conducted on a sample of n=894 employers. For the purpose of the second round of research, 17 interviews with companies employing immigrants were conducted. The research showed that during the first wave of the pandemic, employers most often terminated employment with immigrants, which, however, in some cases, was the initiative of the immigrant. Some firms recognizing special needs of their foreign workforce developed strategies that manifested themselves in offering additional help to their foreign workers. The paper contributes to the literature on the situation of immigrants in terms of special treatments of immigrants as vulnerable workers and the knowledge of strategies enterprises adopted in order to help their foreign workforce during the pandemic by presenting the perspective of employers.
