The depopulation in Ukraine: trapped in mortality crisis

Hanna Shvindina

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the generalization of the tendencies in demo-graphic transition in Ukraine and the analysis of the consequences of economic and social development and its impact on the depopulation phenomenon. Different pro-files of the mortality were revealed. Economic and political events of 2014 that took place in Ukraine dropped the minimum monthly wage to its historically minimum level, causing the migration and immigration of the labor force and depopulation aggravation.
