Due to the constant shelling of energy infrastructure facilities by the Russians, Ukrainians are experiencing a difficult winter, which has led to an increase in demand for services for the maintenance of climate equipment and home insulation. However, the demand for these specialists in Ukraine did not match the supply on the market in certain categories up to 93%. This is evidenced by the analytics of the OLX ad platform, which is at the disposal of ZN. U.A..

So, during the current heating season in the category "

We were often interested in the maintenance of boilers - more than 15.5 thousand times.

Due to the blackout, the demand for the repair of gas stoves, columns and convectors has increased - more than 20 thousand requests.

In addition, Ukrainians in the current heating season were also interested in thermal modernization of their homes.. Thus, in the category "

They also searched for heating installation - almost 3 thousand times and fireplace installation services - more than 6 thousand times.

However, if we talk about offers of such services, then in both categories it was much less than demand.

Only 4,000 boiler service ads can be found on the OLX platform, which is 74% less than demand.

3,000 ads were placed for boiler repairs, which is 93% less than users require.

The number of advertisements for home insulation was almost 8 thousand, but it is still 56% less than demand.

Recall that the labor shortage began to be felt in Ukraine even before the war - due to the loss of skilled workers who found jobs in more prosperous countries, and the growth of the migration process.

Two years before the war, even the Cabinet of Ministers complained that it was difficult for them to find the right specialists. And Prime Minister Denys Shmigal complained about the shortage of personnel in general in Ukraine.

However, before the war, the situation was to a certain extent created by the hands of the authorities themselves.. For example, experts stated that a "

The war exacerbated this problem, but for completely different reasons.. This happened both as a result of the mobilization of the able-bodied male population into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and because of the migration of millions of Ukrainians, including those outside the country..

We are losing people - the most valuable thing the state has. Every month our refugees spend abroad exacerbates the risk of not returning home. And the restoration of Ukraine without a sufficient number of workers, even if there is money, is impossible. "
