(MENAFN- UkrinForm) More than half of the Ukrainian refugees who arrived in the Czech Republic after the start of full-scale Russian aggression have found jobs.
This was announced by Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala in an interview with Ukrinform.
He reminded that the Czech Republic has received more than half a million Ukrainian refugees since February 2022, and about 362,000 remain in the country.
“It is positive that more than 50% of people of economically productive age are working. This share is very high compared to other EU countries. On the contrary, only about a quarter of people receive humanitarian aid,” Fiala informed.
According to him, the Czech society has been very favorable to Ukrainians, and they, in turn, are trying to integrate quickly and“coexist well in Czech society.”

The Prime Minister also spoke about the changes that will be introduced to asylum seekers on September 1. The main one will concern the distribution of humanitarian housing provided by the state. From the beginning of the fall, it will be provided exclusively for up to three months after arrival in the Czech Republic, so that people can find their own housing. However, particularly vulnerable groups of the population will be able to use compensation instruments.
As reported, the share of refugees from Ukraine in the total population of the Czech Republic has reached approximately 4.5%.
