Ukrainian Workers Contribute More to Slovak Economy Than They Cost, Make Up 2.5% of Population

Ukrainian workers are expected to contribute over 600 million euros in taxes and social contributions to Slovakia this year, demonstrating their net positive economic impact four years after the war began. Ukrainians now comprise approximately one-third of all foreign workers in Slovakia and represent 2.5 percent of the country's total population. The influx of Ukrainian workers continues to benefit Slovakia's aging labor market, which has struggled to fill numerous job positions across various sectors. Despite four years of ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the flow of workers from the country to Slovakia has maintained steady momentum, providing crucial support to the Slovak economy through both their labor contributions and tax payments.
