Ukrainian refugees in Germany four years on: socio-demographic structures, families, participation and return
Tuesday, 17 February, 1-2 pm, CET (Zoom)
(with German-English simultaneous translation)
Prof. Dr. C. Katharina Spieß, Director, Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB)
Dr. Andreas Ette, Head of Research Group International Migration, Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB)
This February, the Russian invasion of Ukraine marks its fourth anniversary. Since the outbreak of the war, approximately 1.2 million Ukrainian nationals have sought protection in Germany—more than in any other European country. Four years later, how are they doing in Germany? Which groups have been more successful, which ones less? What are the remaining challenges? How can long-term prospects be secured—both for these refugees themselves and for the host society?
In this Tuesday Dialogue, the expert speakers will present the results from seven waves of a panel study on Ukrainian refugees in Germany (the BiB/FReDA Survey on Ukrainian Refugees). The study, launched in 2022, examines the living conditions of Ukrainian refugees and their children. These data provide comprehensive insights into changes to the socio-demographic structure of refugee communities, family life, social participation, and return plans to Ukraine. The results offer robust evidence for public debate and for policy-making at the national, European, and international levels.
