on Guidance for access to the labour market, vocational education and training and adult learning of people fleeing Russias war of aggression against Ukraine 2022/C 233/01
1. INTRODUCTION
Since the beginning of Russias war of aggression against Ukraine, over 6.5 million people have fled Ukraine and reached the EU; about 3 million have registered for temporary protection and the majority are women with children 1. From the information available so far, only a relatively small number of those of working age has entered the EU labour market or registered with Public Employment Services. This could be due to physical and psychological traumas, ongoing acclimatisation in the host Member States, lack of information on the opportunities available or other barriers such as language and childcare duties.
Despite the uncertainty about the number of people likely to stay in the EU and prospects for return, the number of people wanting to enter the labour market in the Member States is expected to rise.
Swift and effective integration into the labour market will be important both for the host communities and for the people fleeing Russias war of aggression against Ukraine as they will be able to rebuild their lives and continue developing their skills. This will be for the benefit of the persons concerned, the EU and, eventually, for the reconstruction of Ukraine.
This Communication presents policy guidance for Member States actions on access to the labour market, vocational education and training and adult learning for people fleeing Russias war of aggression against Ukraine.
The present guidance complements and builds upon actions already undertaken at the EU level aimed at supporting those arriving in the EU.
