Abstract

Migration, as a socio-historical phenomenon, is shaped by various factors and has occurred in significant waves throughout history, each driven by specific circumstances. It has played a key role in shaping national policies. Migration can support economic and social development by expanding the workforce, increasing tax revenues, strengthening social welfare systems, and attracting skilled professionals. For example, in the 20th century, migration supported economic recovery, particularly after World War II. However, migration can also create challenges, potentially leading to negative economic outcomes or generating social and political tensions. Since World War II, the conflict in Ukraine has caused the largest and fastest displacement of people in Europe, with millions of Ukrainians fleeing abroad. In this context, this study examines the national legal framework regulating migration in Slovakia, focusing on the protection provided under domestic law, the available protection statuses, and related measures in education, the labour market, and non-governmental (civil) initiatives.
