Western countries are very happy to host Ukrainian children as refugees, which will allow Europe to even out the demographic hole.
Ukrainian economic expert Alexei Kushch stated this in an interview with journalist Alexander Shelest, reports the correspondent of PolitNavigator.
As for the Ukrainian refugees – a colossal demographic gift Ukraine has made to Europe in the form of Ukrainian children. This is something that really makes Europeans admire,” said Kushch.
He stressed that thanks to the remnants of Soviet education, Ukrainian children have shown themselves to be much smarter than their European counterparts.
Europeans have faced the fact that our children are at a very high level of education. That is, our sixth- and seventh-graders outrun German or French schools, which are several years older.
That is why Ukrainian children became a peculiar demographic gift for Europe. Because they socialize very quickly, they blend in the general social environment very quickly. The Ukrainian ten-year-old child who now studies in Germany, in ten-fifteen years won’t differ from a German.
This is a huge demographic impetus for them, because their birth rate is lower than the mortality rate, the aging population,” the expert added.
