“…Researchers note the fact that the main challenges for labor migrants in the engineering sector of the economy should be considered through modeling at the macro level [13,14]. The regulation of migration processes at the macro level should become an important component of the socio-economic policy of the state to regulate the engineering sector of the economy.…”

The engineering sector of the economy is growing rapidly and in many Eastern European countries, supply and demand are only going up. The terrible events of the pandemic and military actions in the very center of Europe led to mass labor migration of the population. For scientists and practitioners, the question arose of finding ways to ensure safety for them and the formation of proper safe working conditions in new regions with new challenges. This determined the relevance of the research topic. The main goal of the study is the application of mathematical technologies to counteract the main challenges that negatively affect engineering migrant workers in terms of security. The methodology implies the use of modeling methods with the flexibility to change the basic parameters. Based on the results of the analysis, we presented several models to counteract the negative impact of the main challenges faced by engineering labor migrants in modern conditions. The study has a number of limitations and concerns the use of modeling technology for only one region as an example. Further research should concern not only an individual worker in the field of engineering but also entire engineering enterprises.

“…Therefore, migration can be generally seen as a neutral phenomenon having both positive or negative effects for different countries such as brain gain or brain drain. Slovakia is one of the countries which experience a significant brain drain due to shortages of workforce in the labor market in all sectors since 2016 caused by the outflow of qualified workers (Grenčiková, Skačkauskienė & Španková, 2018). Slovakia was always known as a country of migrants, but according to Machlica, Toman, Haluš and Martinák (2017), emigration from Slovakia has intensified since our country joined the EU.…”

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) estimated that as of 2021 there were currently 84 million who have been forcibly displaced from their homes across the globe. The conflict in Ukraine has led to a further marked increase in these numbers. Mental health difficulties have been shown to be elevated in forcibly displaced people (including asylum seeking and refugee populations). Risk factors can be associated with events that occurred prior to, during, and after the migratory journey. Whilst there is recognition of the important impact that a history of traumatic events (e.g., torture, abuse and neglect) can have, social adversity in the form of 'daily stressors' (e.g., a lack of access to basic resources, isolation, lack of safety and security, family violence) is being increasingly recognised as an important determinant of the mental health of forcibly displaced people. Concerns have been raised about the potential medicalization of social adversity faced by displaced populations. There has also been a comparative lack of research investigating approaches that may be helpful for enhancing the quality of life and subjective wellbeing of forcibly displaced people. Psychosocial interventions and low-intensity psychological interventions can provide scalable opportunities for treating common mental disorders and promoting wellbeing. This presentation will focus on research studies that I have been involved in which have been undertaken in the EU and in sub-Saharan Africa to evaluate the efficacy of psychosocial interventions for forcibly displaced people. These projects have involved the linguistic and cultural adaptation of interventions and assessment measures. The implications that this research has for the integration of forcibly displaced people in the EU and beyond will be discussed. This will include a focus on conceptual frameworks that provide opportunities for situating determinants of mental health in the socio-political context in which forcibly displaced people live their lives, and not just risk-and protective-factors specific to the individual.

“…According to a more abstract definition, migration is the "response to changes in living conditions caused by population growth, development of production and trade, formation of countries, states, nations, climatic conditions, as well as violent causes, such as wars" (Grenčiková et al, 2018). In line with that, not mere financial interest produces migration.…”

“…(It refers to the money transferred from a Western European to an Eastern European country.) Earnings received in a foreign country but spent somewhere else raises purchasing power parity (Grenčiková et al, 2018) and thus leads to higher living standards (Rausser et al, 2018). However, the drawback attached to it is dependency.…”

The present paper overviews academic literature and statistics related to labour migration in part where it concerns Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), with special attention paid to Hungary. It aims to discover the main notions and results of European migration along with potential future trends. The paper, inter alia, focuses on the changing characteristics of host countries' labour markets and demographic profiles. It has found that CEE's involvement in intercontinental migration is expected to continue, and is driven by demographic and economic catalysts. Therefore, to address all related issues and map trends, not only an economic perspective is required. The conclusion is that preparation for integration of the newly arrived labour force is a permanent ongoing task for all employers and policymakers, as well as for the entire society.
