We are proud to continue our collaboration with the International Organization for Migration in studying the internal displacement in Ukraine.

Multicultural Insights conducted data collection resulted in the publication of the new report, focused on the situation and needs of the returnee population in Ukraine.

Here are some of the findings:

📍 Of all respondents currently in their place of habitual residence, 15 per cent fall within the returnee definition, equivalent to an estimated 5,236,000 returnees as of 5 December. Between 27 October and 5 December, the total stock of returnees decreased.
📍 It is impossible to determine whether returns are permanent or temporary, though among returnees, 79 per cent indicate they are planning to remain in their homes (equivalent to 4.1 million), and 80 per cent have been in their homes for a period longer than one month.
📍 As of 5 December, and in line with demographics of the displaced population, the majority of returnees are female. Almost a quarter are infants and children under 18.
📍 Over half of all IDPs who do not intend to return stated that a main reason was the poor security situation in their area of origin – including active fighting, the threat of air strikes and other security concerns (55%).
📍 Around 34 per cent of returnees have exhausted their savings, with 27 per cent of households reporting they had done so more than 30 days ago
