Kyiv • UNN
According to the deputy director of the Ptukha Institute, the demographic situation in Ukraine is critical, but has not yet reached a critical point. The key problems are high mortality, a rapidly declining birth rate, and a significant outflow of migrants due to the war - more than 6 million Ukrainians are now abroad. It is difficult to accurately predict future demographic development.

We have an increase in mortality, a rapid decline in the birth rate, but the biggest loss in terms of population is the migration outflow. There are about 6.3 million of our citizens abroad because of the war. This is a lot. We do not know how many of them will return, so it is very difficult to predict the demographic situation and its development very accurately
