5. What do you think are the main reasons for migration? What types of migration do you know? Is migration an issue in your country? Read the article and check your ideas. Support your answer.
Migration is a reality for present-day Ukraine – and a serious challenge for the country’s future. According to State Statistics Service data, over the past 12 years Ukraine has been experiencing migration population growth – over the said period 230,000 more people entered the country as compared to those who left. At the same time, according to UN (United Nations) statistics, Ukraine is among the top ten countries with the highest emigration levels and the numbers have increased in recent years. State Statistics Service estimates the number of migrant workers at 1.3 million, while experts say the number varies between 2 and 4 million. The discrepancies emerge both because of different understanding of what “migrant” means and different data collection methods. | |
According to UNESCO the definition of a migrant is “a person who lives temporarily or permanently in a country where he or she was not born, and has acquired some significant social ties to this country”. It is essential that a migrant decides to move voluntarily. This means that refugees and persons forced to leave a country are not migrants under this definition. Various sources indicate opposite migration trends in Ukraine. UN data show that the number of Ukrainians who are living abroad is constantly increasing and the number of foreigners who are living in Ukraine decreased during the first 15 years of independence and then remained practically steady (picture 1). But according to State Statistics Service the number of those coming to live in Ukraine is higher than the number of those who have left. |
According to UN data, during independence migration destinations of Ukrainians have changed significantly (picture 2). In the first years almost 85% of Ukrainian migrants lived in the former USSR countries and mostly those were people born in the Ukrainian SSR, who, at a certain, moved to a different republic of the former Soviet Union. In 27 years, the number of Ukrainians in those countries has decreased and their share in the general number of migrants dropped to 70%. However, the number of Ukrainian emigrants in the USA, Canada, Western and Central Europe, and Australia has increased twise and their share in total number of Ukrainians, who moved abroad, has risen respectively.
The number of migrant workers in Ukraine also varies. For instance, IOM (International Organisation for Migration) estimates their number at 688k people. State Statistics Service is also conducting periodic surveys in order to determine the number of migrant workers using IOM methods. Based on its report survey for the period of 2015-2017, the established number of migrant workers makes up 1.3 million people (approximately 8% of the total workforce). Although experts doubt these figures.
