How has Ukrainians’ material situation changed during the 2.5 years of the war?

According to analysts, in 2021 more than 35% of Ukrainians considered their well-being terrible, 47% rated it as average, and 13.9% called it good. In 2022, 9.6% of citizens were satisfied with their well-being. In 2023, 49.7% of Ukrainians considered their well-being average, 34% of respondents considered themselves poor, and 12% were satisfied with their income.

This year, the trend has persisted: every third person considers themselves poor, and 14% of respondents are happy with their income. In 2021, 9% of respondents said they did not have enough money, even for food. In 2022, their number increased to 13%, and in 2023 to 14%.

This year, 12.9% of respondents complained of lacking money for basic needs. Almost every second family could afford to buy high-priced goods in 2021; in the following years, fewer than 40% of families were able to. Very few Ukrainians do not have to limit their spending – 0.9% in 2021 and 0.6% this year.
