The Ukrainian Institute for the Future has calculated that the population of Ukraine now stands at 29 million people.. Soon there will be no one in Ukraine to create a gross domestic product, since there will be twice as many pensioners as the working population, UIM reports..

According to the Institute, since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, 8.6 million Ukrainians have not returned home after traveling abroad.. Now only up to 9.5 million Ukrainians work. If you take away state employees, there are about 6-7 million people left. They provide for the other 23 million people: pensioners, children, students, the unemployed, dependents, public sector workers, etc.. UIM also reports that the fertility rate has already fallen below 1. For population growth, this ratio must be greater than 2 - that is, the number of births per number of women of childbearing age.

Recall, earlier it was reported that the number of new families has increased, but they are in no hurry to give birth to children..
