The Educational Ombudsman Explained How to Bring Ukrainian Youth Back from Abroad

Ukrainian youth must have the desire to return home, and for this, it is necessary to create favorable conditions that would encourage citizens to return. This was stated by the educational ombudsman Nadezhda Leshchik. In particular, important aspects include a sense of security, availability of housing, and jobs for young people.

The ombudsman also emphasizes the importance of providing medical services for Ukrainians abroad, who often face problems in this area. The development of state policy regarding the return of Ukrainians from abroad, especially youth, is crucial.

«It is no secret that some go back to receive dental and medical services, as it is difficult to find these services abroad. But this is one of the significant aspects of a systemic problem, and there should be a state policy developed for the return of Ukrainians from abroad, particularly the youth,» notes Leshchik.

Experts urged the Ukrainian authorities to do everything possible to preserve the demographic potential of the country and avoid social tension between citizens who remained in the homeland and those who went abroad.

Challenges After Victory: The Importance of Preserving the Young Generation

After Ukraine's victory, there may arise a problem with marginalized groups that poorly studied during the war. It is also important to consider that Ukrainian teenagers who have adapted to life abroad may stay there permanently, which could lead to a loss of demographic potential.

Bringing youth back to Ukraine becomes an urgent task, as this will help preserve the country's demographic potential and reduce social tension between various groups of citizens. It is necessary to create favorable conditions for return, ensuring access to housing, jobs, and medical services, which will be a key step in the country's development.
