Ukrainian women have fled to the Nordic countries in large numbers since the war broke out in February 2022. This is a unique group as many of them come without a partner and with children and benefit from some policies. We want to explore in a comparative study in three Nordic countries; Iceland, Norway and Sweden, how they have integrated in the labour market. 

By examining this through focus group interviews with Ukrainian women, and interviews with experts working in labour and immigration, the consortium intends to identify enablers and obstacles to labour market integration for this particular group. Furthermore, the project will suggest measures to support their labour market integration to create equal opportunities in the labour market. The project will additionally gather examples of good practice in labour market integration. The results will be used to inform policy to help improve the integration of Ukrainian women and wider migrant/refugee groups.
