Trends in Working Age Population Percentage in Ukraine from 1990 to 2022

Ukraine's working-age population percentage has shown notable changes between 1990 and 2022. Starting at 66.5% in 1990, it saw a steady rise, peaking at 70.4% in 2011. This growth reflects the aging population and lower birth rates, common in Eastern Europe during this period. However, the percentage began declining after 2013, dropping to 65.8% in 2022. Factors contributing to this decline include emigration, the impact of socio-political challenges, and demographic shifts. Ukraine's shrinking workforce poses potential challenges for the labor market and economic growth in the future.
