Demographic crisis in Ukraine: in 10 years working people will be 2 times less than pensioners

In order to reach the current level of living standards of Slovenia, Italy or Spain by 2030, by estimate of the Ukrainian Institute for the Future, Ukraine’s GDP should grow by more than 10 times. Do we have enough human resources for it? Who will create a gross product in 5-10 years and for whom?

The tendency is that the population of Ukraine is aging, the birth rate is falling, and the creative class massively leaves the country.

At this rate in 30-50 years the Ukrainian nation can cease to exist as such.
