“Double loop”: a demographic trap awaits post-war Ukraine – Romanenko
The European leadership successfully selects and integrates the most hardworking Ukrainians who fled to the West, while the lazy ones are forced to return.
Kiev political scientist Yuri Romanenko stated this on his blog, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Our government says that when the war ends, some of the migrants will return, they will not fit in there because they are very homesick. Who will return here? First of all, those who do not fit in there, in Europe, will return, because they are on social security.
Here, I read, in Spain, now is the last month when they pay 400 euros. Then that’s it, let’s get a job. And this happens everywhere in Europe. In countries like Germany, Ukrainians are integrated very systematically - for example, having received refugee status, you must learn German for free and get it to the “B1” level. This means that every day you go to school for 4-5 hours and take serious tests, also in history and law,” Romanenko said.
He stressed that such a practice will help the European leadership to select and integrate the best Ukrainians, while the most useless ones will be forced to return.
“And now, when the war ends, all these people who did not integrate and were on social security will be forced to return back. Because the state will not support them, and they will return.
And these are people whose lack of integration skills and low social activity indicate that here they will be consumers of pensions, salaries and any revenues from the state budget.
We will get such a double loop when one part of the active male population, after everything that has happened, wants to reunite with their families or simply leave the borders of our “beautiful and powerful” state, and the second part, which has not integrated there, will return back to the broken economy and strengthen pressure on the state, its budget and economy,” he concluded.
