Description
The core aim of this session is to present the results of an inter-agency analysis of socioeconomic data conducted by UNHCR together with IOM, ILO, and UN Women. Topics covered include at-risk-of-poverty rates, coping strategies, and labour market integration. The analysis attempts to tackle the question of economic vulnerability of Ukrainian refugee households and to propose interventions that can lead to an improvement in livelihoods. Gender, age, and disability dimensions are also considered. Each agency's findings, presented in this session, will illuminate the socioeconomic realities of Ukrainian refugees and provide a basis for developing evidence-based interventions to support their resilience and sustainable integration.
