Sažetak

This paper aims to provide a comparative analysis of links between personal
characteristics and remittance behavior as well as to investigate the determinants of
integration and to validate the remittance decay hypothesis in the target country for
Ukrainian migrants in the Czech Republic and Italy. Our research attempts to answer a
number of novel research questions by determining whether some personal attributes
could be attached to Ukrainian labor migrants in the EU and their families in Ukraine.
Our findings show that migration characteristics of one ethnic group or nation reveal
the same patterns regardless of the target country. It appears that remittance behavior of Ukrainian migrants in the Czech Republic and Italy is significantly determined
by their financial situation, demographic characteristics, level of human capital and
level of integration as well as specific context characteristics. Moreover, our findings
provide evidence for the fact that those Ukrainian migrants who are more settled in a
target country tend to send fewer or no remittances back to their home country.
