• The social and cultural impacts of migration can affect economic well-being. Despite the considerable number of studies, each large and sudden wave of migration needs to be studied separately because they all differ in some characteristics. Using the example of the forced migration of Ukrainians due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, this research, through inclusive growth indicators, studies the impact of migration on the well-being of households in the Slovak Republic as the final and most important indicator of the functioning of the economic system. The research is carried out in two stages. In the first stage, the impact of migration on inclusive growth is determined. In the second stage, the impact of inclusive growth on households' well-being is assessed using economic and mathematical modeling methods. The methodology, based on the combination of microeconomic and macroeconomic data during the survey, more accurately assesses the state of well-being of households than the available statistics allow. The problem of fragmentation of microeconomic data in the study is solved by imputation methods to estimate missing values data on household income or consumption for all subgroups.
