До глибин «перевернутої піраміди»: демографічна криза в Україні і як із нею жити далі
To the depths of the “inverted pyramid”: the demographic crisis in Ukraine and how to live with it further

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses Ukraine's current demographic crisis, intensified by the war, mass emigration, and an aging population, which together create an "ideal demographic storm." It notes a sharp decline in birth rates and a significant increase in mortality, with projections indicating a continued population decrease. The demographic pyramid of Ukraine now resembles a spindle, with the largest age group being 40 to 60 years old, and significantly fewer younger generations. The government faces challenges in encouraging the return of refugees and increasing the birth rate, given the ongoing conflict. The text explores potential solutions, such as returning refugees, stimulating birth rates, and attracting migrants, but emphasizes that realistic conditions for these measures are currently lacking. It underscores the urgency of demographic recovery post-war, but highlights skepticism about the feasibility of significant improvements in the near future.
