| Title | Dilemmas of Integration: Ukrainian Immigrants in Portugal and Spain |
| Summary | Dilemma of accommodation of immigrant communities absolutely heterogeneous by their characteristics challenges all foundations of those societies receiving immigrants. In addition to this, the fact that even very similar immigrant groups in similar countries might pursue completely different integration strategies, which outcome very often turns out to be unpredictable, seems especially puzzling. The primary reason for this phenomenon is complicated intersection between the features of the immigrant community itself, other immigrant groups and the host society. Therefore, effective explanations for the rate of integration of certain community should be examined in each particular case. The present dissertation contributes to existing research through uncovering the determinants for the variable levels of integration on the example of Ukrainian communities in Spain and Portugal. The results of the inquiry demonstrate direct connection between higher indicators of integration rate in Portugal and huge demand for high-skilled labour force as the principal explanation for more successful integration of Ukrainian immigrants in comparison to Spain. |
