Then the article shows the modern scientific view on “the phenomenon of female migration” from Ukraine to the EU, and on the phenomenon “the social orphaning of children with living parents.” This term is connected to the concept of women’s migration, because women are forced to leave their children and their country of origin, and to seek employment in the EU. Today this problem of the social orphaning of children is extremely relevant for Ukraine, because 3 million children of the labor migrants grow up without their mothers, or parents in general. This generation grows up in their home country: the generation of social orphans with living parents. Therefore, the state creates a distorted orphanage inside the country. So, the social orphans with living parents need the targeted aid in the form of qualified psychological support in Ukraine. The state needs to create special programs with qualified psychological support for these children in the Western Ukraine, even in the distant villages. Partners of the special programs of with qualified psychological support for these children may be schools, village councils, and charitable funds. However, more detailed study is required, because of its importance and complexity, and because the consequences of the social orphaning of children with living parents are unpredictable. So far, they have been mostly negative. This study also examines the reasons for the spread of the migration of women from Ukraine to the EU, and creates the typical portrait of a female Ukrainian labor migrant in the EU. The study will show the typical portrait the Ukrainian woman is as follows: she is 50-60 years old; has a college degree; has been working in the EU 10-12 years; has two children; and she is from the Western Ukraine.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessThe European UnionUkrainethe phenomenon of female migrationthe social orphaning of children with living parentsthe women's migrationArticle221+25
