Most Ukrainians state that the economic situation is worsening, but the population works more and has higher income.

The majority of Ukrainians (83%) believe that the economic situation in Ukraine has worsened over the past year, according to a study by the Rating group. Another 10% saw no change, and 2% saw an improvement. At the same time, 57% of the respondents stated that their confidence in the future has worsened, and 9% report improvement. The family’s material situation worsened in 60% of cases and improved in 4%.

Another study shows that the share of employed citizens in Ukraine is increasing. More and more Ukrainians work both full-time and part-time jobs (69% versus 62% in December 2023). The lowest employment rate was observed in March 2022, when it was only 24%, but since then, the indicator has been steadily increasing. Ukrainian incomes are also growing. Compared with the pre-war period, the number of respondents who reported an increase in wages has increased significantly – 56% of respondents, which exceeds the indicators from previous studies. For example, in December last year, only 15% of respondents noted an increase in income.
