Real incomes of citizens of Ukraine from February to December of this year fell by about 21%. Anna Sakhno from the Central Economic Commission spoke about this during the discussion “How the Ukrainian economy survived 2022” at the Center for Economic Strategy.

Salaries.

According to her, three-quarters of the country's citizens admit that their incomes have decreased compared to January 2022..

IDPs have the worst economic situation, but there are also positive trends. If only 30% of migrants worked and received income in the summer, by December this figure had increased to 40%.. Although this is much less than the national average (60%).

According to her, the nominal average salary has decreased by about 5% since the beginning of the aggression.. In the private sector, wages fell more than in the public sector. The labor market has also shrunk significantly..

Unemployment.

It is noted that until December, about 2.6 million Ukrainians had the official status of unemployed.. Approximate real unemployment rate - 30% of the working age population. This means that 5 million people are out of work..

There are problems with employment even in prestigious and highly paid IT, where the number of vacancies is now many times less than those who want to get a job.

How are you going to solve the problem?

The government sees the Recovery Army as one of the options for solving the problem of unemployment, but today only about 3,300 IDPs are employed there. Another option is micro-grant and small grant programs for IDPs and small and medium-sized businesses "
