Abstract

This chapter looks into structural context that shaped life strategies of migrants from Ukraine during 1991–2016. It discusses the Ukraine/Australia structural factors emerging from the economic, political and migration challenges in post-independence Ukraine and shifts in Australia’s migration policy since the 1990s. Structural factors are argued to have affected the capacity, choices and shaped different life strategies of migrants across two distinct periods of Ukrainian migration to Australia—1991–2003 vs. 2004–2016. The chapter argues that the structural context has strongly influenced formation of the two different life strategy types—the life strategy of survival and the life strategy of achievement.
