Every fourth Ukrainian employee could move to Germany – NBP
After the opening of the German labor market in 2020, up to 25 percent of Ukrainians could leave Poland, according to a study by the National Bank of Poland (NBP). NBP’s calculations also indicate that in 2013–17, the inflow of workers from Ukraine led Poland’s GDP to increase by from 0.3 percentage points to 0.9 percentage points annually. The NBP estimates regarding the predicted outflow of Ukrainian employees from Poland may yet need to be corrected as the final shape of the German regulations concerning the opening of the labor market is not yet known. An average 800,000 immigrants from Ukraine work in Poland every year.
