More and more IDPs are finding jobs thanks to compensation programmes for employers. For example, in January-April, more than 400 IDPs with unemployment status received jobs with salary compensation — 76% more than in the same period last year. Most of them were in Zhytomyr.
Another 5.2 thousand IDPs have been employed under the martial law programme. This is 20% more than last year. Employers from Luhansk, Zakarpattia, Sumy and Poltava oblasts are the most active in using this opportunity.
