SOCIAL SECURITY OF REFUGEES FROM UKRAINE IN POLAND

Abstract

The aim of the article is to analyze the system of support and integration of refugees from Ukraine in Poland, identify key challenges and indicate opportunities for international cooperation that can contribute to improving the situation of refugees and host communities. The article analyzes the social security of refugees from Ukraine in Poland, taking into account their migration situation, integration challenges and opportunities for international cooperation. Key aspects of the Polish support system are described, such as financial benefits, access to health care, education and the labour market, and the role of state institutions and nongovernmental organisations is indicated. The problems of integration, including language, social and cultural barriers, are also discussed, and long-term perspectives for Polish-Ukrainian relations are presented. In the end, recommendations were formulated regarding cooperation between Poland and Ukraine and the need for further development of migration and integration policies. The research problem was formulated: What challenges and opportunities are created by the current system of support for refugees from Ukraine in Poland in the context of ensuring their social security and integration? Poland has played a key role in ensuring social security for refugees from Ukraine by offering a comprehensive support system. However, effective integration requires further development of migration policies, the elimination of language and social barriers, and the strengthening of international cooperation. A significant challenge is to balance current aid activities with long-term integration strategies that will contribute to building a cohesive society. The article uses methods of analysis and synthesis of the literature on the subject and international and national reports on migration and integration of refugees. The comparative method allowed for the assessment of Polish activities in a broader international context. In addition, systemic analysis was used to identify key elements of the refugee support system and their interdependencies.
