In the "servant of the people" called the real poverty level in the country

During the full -scale war, the poverty level in Ukraine has almost doubled and currently reaches about 37%. Such figures were given by the chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy, Danilo Getmantsev, explaining it with a deep impact of the war on the state's economy.

According to him, almost all internal economic processes are now under the negative impact of hostilities, instability and depressed expectations of the population and business. It is because of this that the number of citizens who found themselves below the poverty line increased in the country.

At the same time, it is expected that with the stabilization of the situation and the establishment of peace will begin a gradual improvement in the well -being of the population. History shows that after a sharp increase in poverty in 2014, the situation has improved in a few years. The economy gradually recovered, and poverty decreased until 2022.

However, according to Getmantsev, the very fact of the end of the war does not guarantee the automatic solution of social problems. It is necessary to consider the issues of renewal of social standards, and in particular - approaches to the formation of the subsistence minimum.

Poverty estimates are an important signal for public policy. Their growth is a consequence of the large -scale destruction of the economy, losses of jobs, forced migration of the population and the general decline in purchasing power.
