Ukrainian War Refugees in Poland
Understanding Integration Through a Behavioral Lens
Abstract
This paper analyzes the integration of war refugees through a behavioral science framework, focusing on Ukrainian war refugees in Poland. It distinguishes between economic migrants and war refugees, highlighting the latter’s distinct challenges such as involuntary migration, exposure to violence, and psychological difficulties. The paper explores various behavioral factors influencing integration, including time perception, social networks, and public narratives. The findings suggest that understanding and addressing these behavioral aspects is essential for developing effective integration policies. This research advances the field by providing a nuanced understanding of war refugees’ integration challenges from a behavioral perspective.
