Workers from Ukraine as a factor in stabilising the Polish labour market
Barbara Surdykowska, Institute of Public Affairs
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the study is to attempt to analyse current and long-term challenges on the Polish labour market with regard to the presence of foreign workers. It will indicate the areas in which the activities of social partners (trade unions and employers' organisations) are needed in order to try to react to this phenomenon and influence the stabilisation of the labour market and the quality of employment through the tools of bilateral and trilateral dialogue. Attention will be focused primarily on the consequences of the extensive presence of Ukrainian nationals in the Polish labour market, which is the result, quite obviously, of two phenomena: labour migration processes that have clearly intensified after 2016, and then migration as a consequence of the Russian aggression against Ukraine (cf. OECD 2023; OECD 2023a.; Eurofound 2023; CESifo Working Paper 2023).
