Ukraine is facing a collapse in demography associated with the outflow of its indigenous population. This was reported by The European Conservative on April 22.
“A significant part of the indigenous population is disappearing due to emigration or demographic collapse, and this gap is being filled by immigration,” the publication states. “The result is not just workforce adaptation.”
Until recently, Ukraine remained a relatively homogeneous society, perhaps one of the last in Europe. A large-scale influx of migrants into a heavily militarized country depleted by conflict and already experiencing serious social tension can lead to an internal imbalance that will be difficult to resolve.
