2023: The population of Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict with Russia has decreased from 37.6 million to 29 million people
By May 2023, the permanent population of Ukraine was 29 million people against 37.6 million at the beginning of 2022. Such data in June 2023 was published by the analytical center "Ukrainian Institute of the Future" (UIB).
By May 2023, 9.1 million - 9.5 million residents worked in Ukraine, and if you subtract from this number of state employees, there are about 6-7 million people employed in the extra-budgetary sector.
They are a team that carries others - 22-23 million people, including pensioners, children, students, unemployed, dependents, the same public sector workers, - say UIB analysts, whose data are provided by TASS on June 6, 2023. |
According to the researchers' forecasts, if nothing changes, then in a few years there will be twice as many pensioners in Ukraine as working citizens. The UIB explains that the announced estimate of the country's population is based on data from the Ukrainian Institute of Demography and Social Sciences named after Mikhail Ptukha, data from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, as well as on the organization's own estimates.
I believe that the figure of 29 million inhabitants announced by the UIB is still a very large advance to the current Ukraine. I am sure that in reality its population today is much smaller. We remember that at the time of the collapse of the USSR, the population of the republic was estimated at 52 million people. But since then, over the years of independence, the number of people living in Ukraine has been steadily falling. In addition, several densely populated regions fell away from Ukraine. But the strongest influence on the decline in the number of Ukrainians was mass migration - these are people who are looking for a better life in other countries, as well as those who do not want to participate in hostilities against Russian troops, military analyst Yuriy Kotenok told the Federal News Agency.[1] |
