As reported by NBN with reference to the Telegram profile of the Kyiv-24 channel, according to the President of the Confederation of Employers of Ukraine, Oleksiy Miroshnichenko, the above-described trend will be caused by the increasing pace of competition between the business sector and government agencies that need highly qualified workers, as well as accelerated inflation.
Based on Miroshnichenko’s words, at the moment, the growth of the gross domestic product (GDP—the total annual value of goods and services produced in the country) is approximately 4 percent, and over 12 months the average salary increases by 14 percent, which, from the point of view of economists, contradicts the “healthy” dynamics. In particular, salaries should not grow so quickly, but can only slightly exceed GDP and inflation (currently from 9.7 to 11.2 percent), since otherwise there is high competition in the labor market, which simply cannot be covered.
In addition, the expert believes that an additional challenge is the rivalry between the public and private sectors for attracting personnel – about 60 percent of those mobilized after completing military service do not intend to return to their pre-war civilian profession, but plan to change their specialty or open their own business.
