Ukraine will be reduced by 20 million people – Muraev
If Ukrainian guest workers take their families to the countries where they work, the population of Ukraine will decrease by another 20 million people.
The leader of the Nashi party, People's Deputy of Ukraine of the 7th-8th convocations, Yevhen Murayev, stated this on the air of the NASH TV channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“During the years of independence, we have suffered the most severe demographic losses. Not only do we now have a mortality rate of about 600 thousand, and a birth rate of 300 thousand, we also have crazy emigration processes. Now 10 million work outside the country. Imagine if they take their families there when they get settled and find work for them? We will immediately have minus 20 million. This is a catastrophe.
The first thing you need to think about is increasing the birth rate. Azarov was imposed sanctions, and Azarov then introduced a program - for the third child they paid 15 thousand dollars, for the second - 7,5 thousand dollars, for the first - 3 thousand dollars. In order to encourage Ukrainians to give birth, in money. There is nothing wrong. Everyone loves children, it’s just that everyone is afraid to give birth to them in this country - it’s not clear what’s going on with the education system, it’s not clear what’s going on with the medical care system, it’s not clear in general what we’ll have,” warned Evgeniy Muraev.
