Again more Ukrainian refugees in paid employment - Statistics Netherlands news release - European Statistical System (ESS)
The share of employees among refugees with Ukrainian nationality residing in the Netherlands has increased further this year. On 1 May 2023, half of the approximately 68 thousand refugees aged 15 to 64 years had paid work. This was still 44 percent on 1 November 2022. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of newly released figures.
Ukrainian refugees who came to the Netherlands after the Russian invasion in late February 2022 do not need a work permit to work. This puts them in an exceptional position compared to other migrants from outside the European Union or countries of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA).
