European countries are welcoming a large number of refugees from Ukraine who are fleeing the war due to Russia’s invasion, and especially are heading to the neighbouring countries.
While many of them are considering offering them jobs, analysts warn that it will be challenging to integrate them all in the labour market, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
Some experts have called on the Eastern European countries, which have a lower GDP compared to other western counterparts, to open their doors to a larger number of refugees from Ukraine after, according to them, they can handle a huge influx.
According to a recent report published by CNBC, over three million people have fled the war in Ukraine, heading to its neighbouring countries, while millions more are displaced domestically.
In this regard, the association of Bulgarian employers’ organisation addressed a letter to the government of Bulgaria stressing that they could employ over 200,000 Ukrainians, as reported by VOA.
The Prime Minister of Bulgaria, Kiril Petkov, said that Ukrainian refugees are “intelligent, educated… highly qualified.”
“These are people who are Europeans, so we and all other countries are ready to accept them,” Petkov pointed out.
At the same time, authorities in Hungary have also welcomed refugees from Ukraine.
“We are able to spot the difference: Who is a migrant, they are coming from the south … and who is a refugee,” Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has stressed.
“Refugees can get all the help,” Orban pointed out last week.
