It also searched for such key points as the reasons for deciding to go abroad to work, the attitude of other family members to this fact, adaptation to life separately, and the formation of new domestic realities both in the case of the migrant and his family remained in Ukraine, maintaining contacts, perception, and empathy, based on the new experience of «living independently» and «living without a loved one». The study aims to form a holistic image of the everyday life of Ukrainian migrant families, identify problems and ways to overcome them, trace the impact of the new socio-cultural environment on the preservation or change of mentality and identity, features of family relationships in remote life and modern means of communication.The following set of methods was used for the study: representative surveys of migrants, analysis of databases with statistical information, and questionnaires. This made it possible to comprehensively consider the micro problems of migratory social phenomena. The life story of every migrant worker and his family is said to be unique and unique. Some stay outside the homeland and try to create a part of «native Ukraine» there, and some return home after ten years of living abroad, where they still can’t feel «their own», constructing family well-being and skillfully hiding the dramas from prying eyes.
