Development ministry: 1.2-1.5 mln Ukrainian workers came to Poland last year

Last year, between 1.2-1.5 million workers from Ukraine came to Poland, according to the Minister of Development Jerzy Kwieciński. “Last year, our system received about 1.8 million applications from Ukrainian nationals, but it is difficult to say how many of these people have taken a job. We estimate that figure to be between 1.2-1.5 million people, with 1.2 million figure being more realistic,” According to Kwieciński, Poland will continue its efforts to attract more economic migrants to close the workforce gap, which is estimated to reach 1.5 million people by 2030. Poland will adopt migration policy assumptions “within the next few days,” Kwieciński assured.
