“…It is worth noting that the recent political tensions and military conflicts since 2013 may have a profound effect on Ukrainian migration dynamics, but these have yet to be studied (Fedyuk & Kindler, ). It is plausible, for example, that neighbouring EU countries become a destination for Ukrainian asylum seekers (Szulecka, ). Recent empirical evidence from Poland indeed suggests an increase in applications for residence permits and refugee status since the escalation of the armed conflict (Brunarska, Kindler, Szulecka, & Toruńczyk‐Ruiz, ).…”

An abundant body of research focused on macrolevel, mesolevel, and microlevel factors explaining why individuals move across international borders. In this paper, we aim to complement the existing literature by exploring how, within a single country, mesolevel factors differently impact migration aspirations, focusing on a case study of Ukraine. We particularly focus on how migration aspirations of individuals in two different regions can be explained by their international social networks with family members, on the one hand, and with friends, on the other. Furthermore, we explore whether regional migration characteristics play a role, as well as the interaction of such characteristics with individuals' frequency of contact with transnational networks. Our analyses are based on the EUMAGINE project and suggest that the interplay between regional migration characteristics and transnational social contact are key for explaining the decline of migration systems over time.

“…The market of legal services provided to them will begin to shape and stand out across the entire EU, although its roots will still be in Polish-Ukrainian relations. We should look now at the emergence of the market of legal services provided to Ukrainians in Poland to prepare for its expansion to other EU countries (Brunarska et al, 2016;Fedyuk & Kindler, 2016;Kupets, 2016;Szulecka, 2016).…”

In Poland and Germany have already lived about 3 million Ukrainians. Polish and German lawyers note that such a large number of immigrants may constitute a substantial market for their legal services. Therefore, they more and more often provide specific legal services to Ukrainians. The basic characteristics of the market of legal services provided to Ukrainians in Poland and the explanation of the functioning mechanisms of the Ukrainian legal services market in Poland and the EU are important elements of the study. During the study, we check the research hypothesis: immigrants from Ukraine to the European Union have co-created a new EU market for legal services. The study was conducted using the method of structured interview among Polish advocates and legal advisers and using the method of content analysis and statistical analysis. The survey results show that in Poland and in Germany there is the Ukrainian legal services market. Polish and German lawyers do not specialize in Ukrainian matters. Special legal services close to Ukrainians are not being developed. However, there is an increased volume of Ukrainian clients in Poland and minor modifications in the manner, number and method of providing services by lawyers. The first experiences of lawyers from cooperation with Ukrainians show that within 10 years, legal services for Ukrainians in Poland and Germany will become one of the most lucrative advocate specializations.

“…After the end of the USSR, the increases in emigration were large, and were accompanied by controversy in the West and concerns about 'brain drain' at home. Much of the lower skilled immigration of individuals from Eastern European countries to the EU and US in the 1990s consisted of individuals overstaying visas or temporary residence permits after entering the receiving country legally, or doing undeclared work while in the country on an authorized stay, often termed a 'semicompliant legal status' (Szulecka, 2016). In the EU countries, an important policy for individuals from Eastern Europe to become legal immigrants were regularization programmes, or programmes that provide amnesty and grant legal status to unauthorized immigrants.…”

“…In the EU countries, an important policy for individuals from Eastern Europe to become legal immigrants were regularization programmes, or programmes that provide amnesty and grant legal status to unauthorized immigrants. For example, Szulecka (2016) describes how Greece introduced five regularization programmes between 1998 and 2007, which allowed individuals who had overstayed their legal time limit to 'regularize their stay' and obtain work permits. Spain similarly had six regularization programmes from 1986 to 2005.…”

Immigrant selection before and after communism

The end of the Soviet Union and communist regimes throughout Eastern Europe led to sudden increases in emigration and large changes in wage inequality. This has provided a unique opportunity to understand how these changes altered incentives to emigrate during the transition period. In this paper, I analyze immigrant selection before and after the fall of the Soviet Union within a Roy Model framework, in which the relative return to skills determines the skill composition of immigrants. Using micro‐level data from Russia, Ukraine and Bulgaria, matched to Census data on immigrants from these countries in the United States, Spain and Greece in the post‐Soviet period, I find evidence of positive selection of immigrants in the US, and negative selection for Greece and Spain. Using retrospective data from Ukraine during the communist period, I find that selection among Soviet men in the US was intermediate and selection among women was positive.
