Most Ukrainians are satisfied with their lives, although nine families out of ten earn enough for food. These are the results of a survey conducted by the State Service of Statistics.

Experts say that in 2017 the standard of living can improve because of the increase in the minimum wage, but provided that the dollar exchange rate and inflation will rise slightly.

The main vital values ??of almost 95% of Ukrainians consider health, family relations and children. Other priorities - prosperity, career, confidence in the future - amount to a little more than 5%. At that, 738 thousand. (4.9%) families admit that they are undernourished. Of these, 80 thousand. Families admitted that they eat hot only once a day, in 1000 families there were cases when people did not eat from one to three days.

Fortunately, this did not affect families with children. But even there, not without problems.

In 166 thousand families do not have the opportunity to buy children an apple or a glass of juice, almost 85 thousand. Families treat children sweet only three to four times a month and, finally, 39 thousand. Families can not give kids money for a school lunch.

In their troubles, Ukrainians blame not only power (only 30% of such people). Almost 60% of the respondents share responsibility for the difficult life between the state and themselves, and 10% are sure that they are to blame for their own problems.
