Why this is interesting: Due to the labor market shortage, Ukrainian women are becoming increasingly economically active, even venturing into traditionally “male” professions. While this shift may stimulate the economy, there is a downside. Increased female employment could negatively impact the birth rate. The arrival of the first child typically reduces a woman’s working hours, and the second or third child often raises questions about the continuation of her career. The birth rate in Ukraine has already hit record lows over the past 30 years, and the current labor market pressure on Ukrainian women may only worsen the demographic crisis.
