Ukrainian Refugees in Switzerland: A research synthesis of what we know [update]

I have updated my research synthesis of what we know about Ukrainian refugees in Switzerland with the latest numbers from the SEM (end of May 2024), and some restructuring of the text as I added additional literature.

For example, did you know that the labour-force participation of Ukrainian refugees who have arrived over 2 years ago is now well above 30%?

Fresh evidence of how news media set the agenda on immigration

We have summarized our recent work on the relationship between media coverage of immigration and to what extent people consider immigration an important topic over at The Loop. We highlight that media outlets are not the neutral actors they set out to be: they shape what we think about.

Working paper

Abstract: The objective is to summarize and synthesize research literature on Ukrainian refugees in Switzerland. This is achieved with a systematic review, mostly in the form of a narrative review and with statistical indicators that are synthesized. There is a wide range of evidence on Ukrainian refugees in Switzerland and their integration, although substantive and systematic gaps remain. Given the size of the population and the ongoing war in Ukraine, more research on Ukrainian refugees is merited.
