Employment rate of Ukrainians at about 15 percent by July

The Institute for Labor Market and Occupational Research (IAB) estimates that up to 15 percent of Ukrainians were already integrated into the German labor market by July 2022. "By July, the employment of Ukrainians had risen by almost 60,000 people, which corresponds to around ten percent of the growth in the working-age population," Herbert Brücker, head of the research department for migration, integration and international labor market research, told the editorial network Germany (RND). "Because of the withdrawals, the actual employment rate may have been 12 to 15 percent."

According to the Central Register of Foreigners, around one million Ukrainians have moved to Germany since the beginning of the war. "An unknown number has withdrawn again," said Brücker. According to the economist, the 60,000 Ukrainians in work are “essentially people who have just arrived”.

Brücker pointed out the different starting positions of war refugees compared to migrant workers. “It usually takes a little longer for refugees to integrate into the labor market than for migrant workers because they didn’t already have an employment contract in Germany before they fled. In the case of Ukrainians, there is also the fact that many women come alone with underage children who need care,” added the researcher.

"Nevertheless, the labor market integration of Ukrainians is slightly higher: One factor is that they are allowed to work immediately after arriving in Germany, unlike refugees in the asylum system." graduate.”
