The population of Ukraine continues to decline, which can affect the economy, political stability and social structure of the country in the long term. According to experts, today in Ukraine, including occupied territories, less than 36 million people live, but real figures can be even lower. & Nbsp;
This is reported by Ura-Inform, referring to The Washington Post.
If the current demographic trends remain, by the middle of the 21st century the population of Ukraine can be reduced to 25 million, and by 2100 – to only 15 million people. According to experts, even before the start of the war, Ukraine faced serious problems in demography. In 2001, the birth rate was 1.1 children per woman, which is significantly lower than the necessary level for the natural replenishment of the population equal to 2.1. & Nbsp;
“part of the population capable of starting families and giving birth to children,” said Vitaly Radko reproductive health specialist. It is located outside of Ukraine, and men either participate in hostilities, or were injured or emigrated. & nbsp;
The situation exacerbates economic difficulties and a high level of stress among the remaining population. Many families delay the birth of children due to instability, lack of confidence in the future and difficult financial conditions. & Nbsp;
according to the Institute of Demography and the problems of quality of life, about 29 million people now live in the territory controlled by Ukraine. These figures emphasize the seriousness of the demographic crisis, which can have a long -term impact on the development of the country. & Nbsp;
