Economic consequences of forced migration of ukrainians under martial law

Abstract

Under martial law in Ukraine, forced migration of the population is becoming widespread. The main economic consequences are manifested through remittances, which support the domestic market, affect consumer demand, and inflationary processes. Migration is generally a complex and multifaceted process that encompasses various forms of population movement between territories and is driven by a wide range of causes. Economically motivated migration is aimed at improving material well-being and expanding financial prospects. It can manifest itself in employment abroad, starting a business in another country, or investing capital in foreign economic projects. Socially motivated migration, in turn, is associated with the desire to change one's social status, achieve better living conditions, or access higher-quality services. In addition, migration changes the demographic structure of a country, reduces the working-age population, and creates social challenges for the state.
