Only high-quality Ukrainians will save Ukraine: A collision with depopulation is inevitable

Ukraine will inevitably face depopulation in any scenario. This was stated at the first international forum "Ukraine Tomorrow" by the director of the Institute of Demography and Quality of Life Research Ella Libanova, according to the TV channel "News Live".

"The only way out is to compensate for the reduction in population with the quality of human capital," Libanova said.

According to her, Ukrainians should stay healthy and economically active longer. Well, the education system, in turn, should not only produce "people with diplomas", but also engineers, technicians, builders and other specialists necessary for the post-war development of the Ukrainian economy.

As EADaily reported, 8 million Ukrainian citizens are currently abroad, which is a security challenge for the country. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sibiga. As Sibiga noted, Kiev aims to return these people, but not all countries are interested in this.
