    Does Poland ban Ukrainians from working? I thought Poland(like the rest of Europe) has a massive demographic crisis, so more workers would be needed.

      The problem is that working age males aren’t allowed to leave Ukraine (because war they enacted special laws)

      90% of Ukrainians with refugee status in Poland are women and children. Out of remaining 10% males most are either elderly or have chronic conditions

      In the peak, Poland was spending 3% of entire GDP on refugee support, and another 5% on military support

      There’s separate group of Ukrainians who emigrated before war, and they stay based on work permits - but they aren’t refugees
