Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – February 18, 2021 – Reports
Many people choose to work abroad in order to look for a job that will bring him great benefit, such as increasing financial returns, changing their home thresholds, perhaps job opportunities increase and change their situation, but keep in mind that working abroad always carries certain risks for job seekers, such as fraud, or staying Without health insurance, or non-payment of wages.
And Ukrainians have begun to look for work abroad in various disciplines. Because the salary level in most vacancies in Ukraine is still several times lower than in Europe.
Ruslana Brochuk, international recruitment expert and CEO of Persha Visa, has indicated that the overseas employment experience may not be positive at all. This is due to the fact that citizens of Ukraine do not always carefully study legal issues and turn to intermediary companies with a dubious reputation.
For example, legal employment in most European countries is possible subject to a number of requirements. For people who have no work experience and no knowledge of the language, the way to work is difficult however, vacancies are actively being offered in these countries, such as Germany. They are lured by the best salaries, but in practice it turns out that the person is working illegally and therefore, if necessary, cannot apply for protection. Often in such cases the salary is not paid in full.”
A number of European Union countries have an agreement with the Ministry of Labor for Ukrainians to maintain Ukrainian employment, such as the Czech Republic and Poland. Which binds the worker to a valid contract and supporting documents to preserve his rights.
The salaries are minimal
Most often, Ukrainians work abroad as simple small laborers. The expert adds that, for example, if we are talking about Poland, then from January 1, 2021, the minimum wage increased to 2,800 zlotys (about 21 thousand hryvnia).
However, according to employment portals, the demand for job specialties has increased in Ukraine as well. And drivers and dealers remain the most popular among the professionals. There is always a demand for working professions, and competition in this field is very low. Thus, analysts say that the vacancies cover the need by 46%. Conditional competition for one position for two persons.
Top 10 Most Popular Businesses With Average Salary:
- Driver – 19 thousand hryvnia.

How many Ukrainians are currently working abroad?
- According to a study by the VoxUkraine Foundation, the total volume of labor migration in 2017 was at least 2 million people, but since 2010, about 4 million Ukrainians left Ukraine and have not returned. One possible reason is a narrowing of the wage gap.
