Ukrainian Youth in Denmark: Growing Up and Working Amid Forced Migration

By Nataliia Varha and Kathrine Vitus. Ukrainian youth who have experienced a full-scale war and who have found themselves in situations of forced migration undergo the process of growing up at an accelerated pace, often without the usual support systems – family, home, stability. Their transition to adulthood occurs in new cultural, economic, and social environments where personal choice, adaptability, and self-reliance become critically important. The project “The Transitions of Displaced Ukrainian Youth – A Qualitative Longitudinal Study” examined their adaptation strategies and transitions into adulthood.

The use of exceptional legal measures, such as presidential decrees and discretionary citizenship policies, not only reflected Turkey’s shifting foreign policy interests but also created spaces for forced migrants to negotiate their legal status through community mobilization and “everyday diplomacy.”
