[[File:Population density in Ukraine.png|upright=1.2|thumb|Ukrainian population density by [[List of raions of Ukraine|raion]]]]

According to the [[United Nations]], [[Ukraine]] has a population of 37.9 million as of 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |title=World Population Dashboard -Ukraine |work=United Nations Population Fund |url=https://www.unfpa.org/data/world-population/UA |access-date=2024-03-06 |language=en}}</ref>

In July 2023, Reuters reported that due to refugee outflows, the population of [[Territorial control during the Russo-Ukrainian War|Ukrainian-controlled areas]] may have decreased to 28 million,<ref>{{Cite news |last=Harmash |first=Olena |date=2023-07-07 |title=Ukrainian refugees: how will the economy recover with a diminished population? |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/however-war-ends-ukraines-diminished-population-will-hit-economy-years-2023-07-07/ |access-date=2023-10-15}}</ref> a steep decline from Ukraine's 2020 population of almost 42 million.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.bpb.de/themen/migration-integration/laenderprofile/english-version-country-profiles/510002/ukraine-emigration-and-displacement-in-past-and-present/ | title=Ukraine – Emigration and Displacement in Past and Present | date=8 July 2022 }}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Ukraine Population 1950-2023 |url=https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/UKR/ukraine/population |access-date=2023-08-01 |website=macrotrends.net}}</ref>

This drop is in large part due to the ongoing [[Ukrainian refugee crisis]] and [[Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine|loss of territory]] caused by [[Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russia's invasion of Ukraine]], which resulted in mass emigration from the Ukrainian people. The demographic decline is also affected by a very low [[birth rate]] and a high [[death rate]]. The most recent (and only) census of post-Soviet Ukraine occurred [[2001 Ukrainian census|in 2001]], and much of the information presented is potentially inaccurate or outdated.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dickinson |first=Peter |date=2022-02-02 |title=The new Ukraine needs a new census |url=https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/the-new-ukraine-needs-a-new-census/ |access-date=2025-05-04 |website=Atlantic Council |language=en-US}}</ref>

Since 2021, the Ukrainian fertility rate has fallen below 1.3, and is now [[List of countries by total fertility rate|one of the lowest in the world]]. By 2024, it was one of the ten lowest in the world, falling under 1.00.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-birth-rates/ | title=Ukraine's 2024 mortality rate is 3 times higher than birth rate, data shows | date=5 August 2024 }}</ref>

== History ==
=== Historical Population ===  
There were roughly four million Ukrainians at the end of the 17th century.<ref name="Subtelny2000">Subtelny, Orest. ''Ukraine: A History''. University of Toronto Press, 2000, p. 152.</ref> However, population estimates from this period are approximate and may vary depending on methodology and available records.

The estimated population figures for Ukraine in the early 20th century are based on various sources. The 1931 population statistics were estimated by Professor Zenon Kuzelia,<ref name="Kuzelia1931">Kuzelia, Zenon. ''Ukraine: A Concise Encyclopedia Vol. 1''. University of Toronto Press, 1989, p. 134.</ref> as an official census was not conducted in Soviet Ukraine during that year.

=== Population Change ===

The following graph represents Ukraine's population trends since the early 20th century.

* Post-2014 population figures exclude Crimea and parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions under occupation.

== Famines and migration ==

=== Demographic impact of the Holodomor and World War II ===

The [[Holodomor|Ukrainian famines of the 1930s]] and the devastation of [[World War II]] created a demographic catastrophe for Ukraine. In 1933, life expectancy at birth dropped to as low as 10 years for females and 7 years for males. During 1941–1944, life expectancy plateaued around 25 years for females and 15 years for males.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Vallin |first1=Jacques |last2=Meslé |first2=France |last3=Adamets |first3=Serguei |last4=Pyrozhkov |first4=Serhii |year=2002 |title=A New Estimate of Ukrainian Population Losses During the Crises of the 1930s and 1940s |journal=[[Population Studies]] |volume=56 |issue=3 |pages=249–264 |jstor=3092980 |doi=10.1080/00324720215934 |pmid=12553326|s2cid=21128795 }}</ref>

According to ''The Oxford Companion to World War II'', over 7 million Ukrainians — more than one-sixth of the pre-war population — were killed during the conflict.<ref>Ian Dear, Michael Richard Daniell Foot (2001).

=== Migration trends in independent Ukraine ===

Following Ukraine's independence, significant migration occurred:

* 1991–1992: Over 1 million people moved into Ukraine, primarily from other former Soviet republics.
* 1991–2004: A total of 2.2 million immigrants arrived in Ukraine, with 2 million of these coming from other former Soviet Union states.
* Between 1991 and 2004, 2.5 million emigrated from Ukraine, with 1.9 million migrating to other former Soviet Union republics.<ref name=MigrationMalynovska>Malynovska, Olena (January 2006).

National Institute for International Security Problems, Kyiv. Retrieved 3 July 2008.</ref>

As of 2015, immigrants made up an estimated 11.4% of the total population of Ukraine, equating to 4.8 million people.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/migration/data/estimates2/estimates15.asp|title=United Nations Population Division |publisher=United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs |language=EN|access-date=2019-06-07}}</ref>

=== Ukrainian diaspora ===

In 2006, there were approximately 1.2 million Canadians of Ukrainian descent,<ref>[http://www12.statcan.ca/census-recensement/2006/dp-pd/hlt/97-562/pages/page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo=PR&Code=01&Table=2&Data=Count&StartRec=1&Sort=3&Display=All&CSDFilter=5000 "Ethnic origins, 2006 counts, for Canada, provinces and territories – 20% sample data"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160818195955/http://www12.statcan.ca/census-recensement/2006/dp-pd/hlt/97-562/pages/page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo=PR&Code=01&Table=2&Data=Count&StartRec=1&Sort=3&Display=All&CSDFilter=5000 |date=18 August 2016 }}. ''Statistics Canada.''</ref> giving Canada the third-largest Ukrainian population worldwide, behind Ukraine and Russia. Significant Ukrainian diaspora communities also exist in Poland, the United States, Brazil, Kazakhstan, and Argentina.

=== Recent migration trends and economic impact ===

Since about 2015, a growing number of Ukrainians have worked in the European Union, particularly in Poland. According to Eurostat, 662,000 Ukrainians received EU residence permits in 2017, with 585,439 of these residing in Poland.

World Bank statistics from 2019 revealed that remittances sent back to Ukraine had approximately doubled from 2015 to 2018, making up about 4% of Ukraine's GDP.<ref name=bl-20190220>{{cite news |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-02-20/eastern-europe-feeds-on-a-shrinking-ukraine |title=Eastern Europe Feeds on a Shrinking Ukraine |last=Bershidsky |first=Leonid |publisher=Bloomberg |date=20 February 2019 |access-date=24 June 2019}}</ref><ref name=wilsoncenter-20190514>{{cite web |url=https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/losing-brains-and-brawn-outmigration-ukraine-0 |title=Losing Brains and Brawn: Outmigration from Ukraine |last=Kiryukhin |first=Denys |publisher=Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars |date=14 May 2019 |access-date=24 June 2019}}</ref>

=== Migration during the Russian invasion of Ukraine ===

With the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]], approximately 8 million people fled Ukraine during the ensuing Ukrainian refugee crisis, Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II. Most refugees sought asylum in Central Europe.

== Population Decline ==

[[File:Population of Ukraine from 1950z.svg|thumb|upright=1.2|Population of Ukraine from 1950<ref>[https://archive.today/20120805214701/http://www.ukrstat.gov.ua/operativ/operativ2007/ds/nas_rik/nas_e/nas_rik_e.html State Statistics Committee of Ukraine] Retrieved 18 September 2009</ref><ref>[http://demoscope.ru/weekly/ssp/sng_pop.php Demoscope] Retrieved 18 September 2009</ref>]]
According to estimates by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the population of Ukraine (excluding Crimea) on 1 May 2021 was 41,442,615.<ref name="ukrcensus"/>

The country's population has been declining since the 1990s because of a high emigration rate, coupled with high death rates and low birth rates. The population has been shrinking by an average of over 300,000 annually since 1993.

In 2007, the country's rate of population decline was the fourth highest in the world.<ref name="autogenerated2002">{{cite web |url=https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2002.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070613003920/https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2002.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=13 June 2007 |title=Field Listing – Population growth rate |access-date=5 July 2008 |website=CIA World Factbook}}</ref>
But between 2008 and 2010, over 1.5 million children were born in Ukraine, compared with fewer than 1.2 million in 1999–2001. In 2008, Ukraine posted record-breaking birth rates not seen since its 1991 independence. Infant mortality rates also dropped from 10.4 deaths to 8.3 per 1,000 children under one year of age, a lower rate than in 153 other countries.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2091rank.html?countryName=Ukraine&countryCode=up&regionCode=eur&rank=154#up |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130616053929/https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2091rank.html?countryName=Ukraine&countryCode=up&regionCode=eur&rank=154#up |url-status=dead |archive-date=16 June 2013 |title=Infant mortality rate, Ukraine |publisher=Cia.gov |access-date=26 January 2014}}</ref>

In 2019, the Ukrainian government conducted an electronic census using multiple sources, including mobile phone and pension data, and estimated that Ukraine's population, excluding Crimea and parts of the [[Donbas]], to be 37.3 million. About 20 million were of active working age.<ref name=rfe-20200123>{{cite news |url=https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine--population-shrinks-23-percent-2001/30393838.html |title=Ukraine's Population Shrinks By Nearly A Quarter |publisher=Radio Free Europe |date=23 January 2020 |access-date=24 August 2020}}</ref><ref name="empr_media">{{cite news|url=https://empr.media/news/ukraine/the-government-has-estimated-ukraines-population-at-37-3-million/|title=The government has estimated Ukraine's population at 37.3 million|website=empr.media|access-date=2020-12-16|archive-date=6 October 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231006202525/https://empr.media/news/ukraine/the-government-has-estimated-ukraines-population-at-37-3-million/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The [[Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russian invasion]] considerably deepened the country's demographic crisis due to the [[Russian annexation of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts|military occupation and forced annexation of multiple oblasts]], [[Ukrainian refugee crisis|numerous civilians fleeing the country]], and [[Casualties of the Russo-Ukrainian War|high casualties]]. A July 2023 study by the [[The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies|Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies]] stated the following:<blockquote>"Regardless of how long the war lasts and whether or not there is further military escalation, Ukraine is unlikely to recover demographically from the consequences of the war. Even in 2040 it will have only about 35 million inhabitants, around 20% fewer than before the war (2021: 42.8 million) and the decline in the working-age population is likely to be the most severe and far-reaching."</blockquote>The study examined different scenarios, from a "best case", in which the war ended in 2023 without significant further escalation, to a "worst case", ending in 2025 after further escalation. Flight from war particularly affects the southern and eastern regions and especially educated women of child-bearing age and their children. With an estimate of more than 20% of refugees not returning, the author of the study Maryna Tverdostup concludes that this will lead to long-term shrinking and will significantly impair the conditions for reconstruction.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Knapp |first1=Andreas |title=Ukraine: Population loss endangers reconstruction |url=https://wiiw.ac.at/ukraine-population-loss-endangers-reconstruction-n-603.html |website=WIIW |access-date=19 July 2023 |date=13 July 2023}}</ref>

== Fertility and natalist policies ==

As of 2020, the birth rate in Ukraine was 8.1 live births/1,000 population, and the death rate 14.7 deaths/1,000 population.<ref name="ukrstat_population" />

Lowest-low fertility, defined as total fertility below 1.3, is being encountered across Europe, attributed by many to postponement of the initiation of childbearing. Ukraine, where total fertility (1.1 in 2001), was one of the world's lowest, shows that there is more than one pathway to lowest-low fertility. Although Ukraine underwent immense political and economic transformations from 1991 to 2004, it maintained a young age at first birth and nearly universal childbearing. Analysis of official national statistics and the Ukrainian Reproductive Health Survey show that fertility declined to very low levels without a transition to a later pattern of childbearing. Findings from focus group interviews suggest that the early fertility pattern was explained by the persistence of traditional norms for childbearing and the roles of men and women, concerns about medical complications and infertility at a later age, and the link between early fertility and early marriage.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Perelli-Harris |first1=Brienna |year=2005 |title=The Path to Lowest-low Fertility in Ukraine |journal=[[Population Studies]] |volume=59 |issue=1 |pages=55–70 |jstor=30040436 |doi=10.1080/0032472052000332700 |pmid=15764134|s2cid=21769928 }}</ref> Ukraine subsequently has one of the oldest populations in the world, with an average age of 40.8 years.<ref name="The World FactBook - Ukraine">{{citation|url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/ukraine/|title= The World FactBook – Ukraine|date=July 12, 2018|work=[[The World FactBook]]}}</ref>

To help mitigate population decline, the government increased child support payments, providing one-time payments of 12,250 [[Ukrainian hryvnia|hryvnias]] for the first child, 25,000 hryvnias for the second and 50,000 hryvnias for the third and fourth, along with monthly payments of 154 hryvnias per child.<ref name=BohdanD>{{cite web |url=http://me.kmu.gov.ua/control/en/publish/article?art_id=115924&cat_id=38912 |title=Bohdan Danylyshyn at the Economic ministry |access-date=1 February 2008 |website=Economic Ministry}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/data/1_21296.html |title=President meets with business bosses |access-date=1 February 2008 |website=Press office of President Victor Yushchenko |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071214153647/http://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/data/1_21296.html |archive-date=14 December 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The demographic trend showed signs of improvement as the birth rate grew steadily from 2001 to 2013.<ref>{{in lang|uk}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20130725181241/http://www.ukrstat.gov.ua/express/expr2009/1109/238.zip The demographic situation in Ukraine in January–September 2009], [[State Statistics Committee of Ukraine]]</ref> Five of the country's 24 provinces showed net population growth over the first nine months of 2007, and nationwide population decline showed signs of stabilization.

[[Ukrainian Independent Information Agency]] (UNIAN). 5 October 2007. Retrieved 3 July 2008.</ref> In 2008, Ukraine emerged from lowest-low fertility, and the upward trend continued to 2012, with population decline slowing year after year. If early 2010s trends had persisted, the population could have returned to positive growth later that decade. Similar trends occurred in [[Russia]] and [[Belarus]], which experienced population growth in the 2010s.

In 2014, the strong drop in births returned, and 2018 saw fewer than half the number of births of 1989 (see [[#After WWII|demographic tables]]). In 2020, the number of births decreased to 293,000, reaching rates not seen in a quarter century.

Mass emigration and property destruction caused by the Russian invasion led Ukraine's birth to drop still further: it was 28% lower in the first half of 2023 than the first half of 2021.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ukraine's birth rate plummets in aftermath of Russian invasion, data shows |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/02/ukraines-birth-rate-plummets-in-aftermath-of-russian-invasion-data-shows |work=The Guardian |date=2 August 2023}}</ref> However, a small but meaningful increase in births may have occurred, with a potential fertility rate increase to 1.60 children per woman, higher than the 2012 peak of 1.53.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Because of the war: How Ukraine's population will change by 2030 |url=https://english.nv.ua/opinion/because-of-the-war-how-ukraine-s-population-will-change-by-2030-50301342.html |access-date=2023-07-22 |website=english.nv.ua |language=en}}</ref>

''Note:'' Russia occupied and later annexed the Crimean Peninsula in 2014. The annexation is internationally recognized [[Political status of Crimea|only by a small number of nations]]. Following the occupation, the Ukrainian statistics service could no longer provide accurate data on Crimea. Thus, as of 2014, the territories of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol are not included in the Demographics of Ukraine but in the [[Demographics of Russia]].
All data from State Statistics Service of Ukraine.

===Year in review 2013===
Compared to 2012, the amount of attrition increased in 2013 by 16,278 persons, or 3.1 to 3.5 persons per 1,000 inhabitants (real). Natural decreases were observed in 23 oblasts of the country, while natural increases were recorded only in [[Kyiv]] and in the [[Zakarpattia Oblast|Zakarpattya]], [[Rivne]] and [[Volyn]] oblasts (5,302, 3,689, 2,889 and 1,034 people, respectively).

Some regions registered a low natural decline, such as [[Chernivtsi]], [[Ivano-Frankivsk]], [[Sevastopol]], [[Lviv]], [[Ternopil]], [[Autonomous Republic of Crimea|Crimea]], [[Kherson]] and [[Odesa]] (−55, −642, −863, −2,124, −2,875, −2,974, −3,748 and −4,448 people, respectively). The largest declines were recorded in [[Donetsk]], [[Luhansk]], [[Dnipro]], [[Kharkiv]], [[Poltava]] and [[Chernihiv]] (−28,311, −15,291, −15,007, −12,765, −10,062 and −10,057, respectively), regions which share a low birth rate and high mortality of a large urban population and rapid aging of the rural population.

===Total fertility rate by oblast===
[[File:Fertilityrate2011ua.PNG|thumb|upright 1.2|Fertility rate in Ukraine by oblast in 2011]]

None of the oblasts in 2013 recorded a higher [[fertility rate]] than 2.10 children per woman, though rural areas saw higher rates in the [[Rivne Oblast]] (2.50) and [[Volyn Oblast]] (2.20). While close-to-generational renewal rates were achieved in the [[Odesa Oblast|Odesa]] (2.04), [[Zakarpattia Oblast|Zakarpattia]] (2.00), [[Mykolaiv Oblast|Mykolaiv]] (1.95), [[Chernivtsi Oblast|Chernivtsi]] (1.93) and [[Zhytomyr Oblast|Zhytomyr]] (1.91) oblasts, they were weaker in the [[Luhansk Oblast|Luhansk]] (1.41), [[Sumy Oblast|Sumy]] (1.47) and [[Cherkasy Oblast|Cherkasy]] (1.53) oblasts.

The highest urban fertility rates were recorded in the [[Zakarpattia Oblast]] (1.80), city of [[Sevastopol]] (1.57), [[Volyn Oblast]] (1.56), [[Kyiv Oblast]] (1.56) and [[Rivne Oblast]] (1.54). The lowest were in the [[Sumy Oblast|Sumy]] (1.23), [[Kharkiv Oblast|Kharkiv]] (1.26), [[Cherkasy Oblast|Cherkasy]] (1.28), [[Chernihiv Oblast|Chernihiv]] (1.28), [[Chernivtsi Oblast|Chernivtsi]] (1.28), [[Luhansk Oblast|Luhansk]] (1.28), [[Poltava Oblast|Poltava]] (1.29), [[Donetsk Oblast|Donetsk]] (1.29) and [[Zaporizhzhia Oblast|Zaporizhzhia]] (1.32) oblasts.

==Religion==
{{Main|Religion in Ukraine}}
A 2018 survey conducted by the [[Razumkov Centre]] found that 71.7% of the population declared themselves believers in any religion, while 4.7% declared themselves non-believers, and 3.0% declared themselves [[Atheism|atheists]].<ref name=Razumkov2018>{{citation|url=http://razumkov.org.ua/uploads/article/2018_Religiya.pdf|script-title=uk:Особливості Релігійного І Церковно-Релігійного Самовизначення Українських Громадян: Тенденції 2010–2018|trans-title=Features of Religious and Church – Religious Self-Determination of Ukrainian Citizens: Trends 2010–2018|date=22 April 2018|publisher=[[Razumkov Center]] in collaboration with the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches|pages=12, 13, 16, 31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180426194313/http://razumkov.org.ua/uploads/article/2018_Religiya.pdf|archive-date=2018-04-26 <!-- Archive date guessed from URL -->|url-status=live|language=uk|place=Kyiv}}<br>Sample of 2,018 respondents aged 18 years and over, interviewed 23–28 March 2018 in all regions of Ukraine except Crimea and the occupied territories of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.</ref> Of the total Ukrainian population, 87.4% declared they were [[Christians]], comprising 67.3% who declared themselves [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Eastern Orthodox]], 10.2% [[Catholic Church|Catholics]] (split into 9.4% [[Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church|Ukrainian Greek Catholics]] and 0.8% [[Latin Church|Latin Catholics]]), 7.7% "Christians", and 2.2% [[Protestantism|Protestants]]. [[Judaism]] comprises 0.4% of the population. In earlier surveys, between 1 and 2% of the population stated that it adhered to [[Islam]].

According to data from 2018, among those Ukrainians declaring themselves Orthodox Christians, 28.7% said they were members of the [[Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Kyiv Patriarchate|Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyivan Patriarchate]] (incorporated as of 5 January 2019 into the [[Orthodox Church of Ukraine]]), while 12.8% said they were members of the [[Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate)|Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscovian Patriarchate]] (an [[Autocephaly|autonomous]] Eastern Orthodox church under the [[Russian Orthodox Church]]). A further 0.3% said they were members of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church, which, like the Kyivan Patriarchate, was incorporated in 2019 into the [[Orthodox Church of Ukraine]]. Among the remaining Orthodox Ukrainians, 23.4% declared themselves "simply Orthodox", without affiliation to any patriarchate, while a further 1.9% declared that they "did not know" which patriarchate or Orthodox church they belonged to.<ref name=Razumkov2018/>

==Regional differences==

===Regional differences in population change===
[[File:Ukraine natural population growth rates.png|thumb|upright 1.2|Natural population growth rates by oblast, 2009]]
Between the Soviet census of 1989 and the Ukrainian census of 2001, Ukraine's population declined from 51,706,600 to 48,457,020,<ref name="all-ukrainian_census_2001"/> a loss of 2,926,700 people, or 5.7% of the 1989 population. However, this trend was quite uneven and subject to regional variation. Two oblasts in western Ukraine, [[Rivne Oblast|Rivne]] and [[Zakarpattia Oblast|Zakarpattia]], saw slight population increases of 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively. A third western Ukrainian oblast, [[Volyn Oblast|Volyn]], lost less than 0.1% of its population between 1989 and 2001.<ref name="all-ukrainian_census_2001"/> Collectively, between 1989 and 2001, the seven westernmost Ukrainian oblasts lost 167,500 people, or 1.7% of their 1989 population. The total population of these oblasts in 2001 was 9,593,800.<ref name="all-ukrainian_census_2001"/>

Between 1989 and 2001, the population of [[Kyiv]] City increased by 0.3%<ref name="all-ukrainian_census_2001"/> due to positive net migration.{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}} Outside Kyiv, the central, southern and eastern oblasts experienced a severe population declines. Between 1989 and 2001, the [[Donetsk Oblast]] lost 491,300 people, or 9.2% of its 1989 population, while the neighbouring [[Luhansk Oblast]] lost 11% of its population.<ref name="all-ukrainian_census_2001"/> [[Chernihiv Oblast|Chernihiv Obast]], in central Ukraine (northeast of Kyiv), lost 170,600 people, or 12% of its 1989 population, the highest percentage loss in of any Ukrainian oblast. In southern Ukraine, [[Odesa Oblast]] lost 173,600 people, or 6.6% of its 1989 population.

By 2001, [[Autonomous Republic of Crimea|Crimea's]] population declined by 29,900, representing only a 1.4% loss of its 1989 population.<ref name="all-ukrainian_census_2001" /> This however was due to the influx of approximately 200,000 [[Crimean Tatars]]&nbsp;– equivalent to approximately 10% of Crimea's 1989 population&nbsp;– who arrived in Crimea after 1989 and whose population in that region increased by a factor of 6.4 (from 38,000 to 243,400 between 1989 and 2001).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ukrcensus.gov.ua/eng/results/general/nationality/Crimea/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071204020421/http://www.ukrcensus.gov.ua/eng/results/general/nationality/Crimea/|url-status=dead|title=About number and composition population of Autonomous Republic of Crimea by data All-Ukrainian population census|archive-date=4 December 2007|access-date=25 September 2022}}</ref> Collectively, the net population loss in Ukraine outside the westernmost oblasts was 2,759,200, or 6.6% of the 1989 population. The total population of these regions in 2001 was 39,186,100.<ref name="all-ukrainian_census_2001"/>

Overall in 1989–2001, the pattern of population change was one of slight growth in Kyiv, slight declines in western Ukraine, large declines in eastern, central and southern Ukraine, and a relatively small decline in Crimea due to a large influx of Crimean Tatars.

===Regional differences in birth and fertility rates===

Ukraine's [[total fertility rate]] is one of the lowest in Europe.<ref>[http://demoscope.ru/weekly/2007/0285/tema03.php Рождаемость в Украине самая низкая в Европе], Demoscope.ru,  16–29 April 2007 {{in lang|ru}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/wpp2006/WPP2006_Highlights_rev.pdf |author=United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division |publisher=UN |title=United Nations World Population Prospects: 2006 revision, Table A.15 |location=New York |year=2007 |access-date=26 September 2010 }}</ref> However, significant regional differences in birth rates may account for some of the demographic differences. In the third quarter of 2007, for instance, the highest birth rate among Ukrainian oblasts occurred in [[Volyn Oblast]], with a birth rate of 13.4/1,000 people, compared to the Ukrainian countrywide average of 9.6/1,000 people.<ref>MIGnews: ''[http://mignews.com.ua/en/articles/274596.html Volyn Region&nbsp;– Fertility Leader in Ukraine] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071012041758/http://mignews.com.ua/en/articles/274596.html |date=12 October 2007 }}'', 10 October 2007.

In 2007, for the first time since 1990, five Ukrainian oblasts ([[Zakarpattia Oblast|Zakarpattia]], [[Rivne Oblast|Rivne]], [[Volyn Oblast|Volyn]], [[Lviv Oblast|Lviv]], and [[Kyiv Oblast|Kyiv]] oblasts) experienced more births than deaths.<ref name="Ukrainian news">Ukrainian News: ''[http://www.ukranews.com/eng/article/70952.html Birth Rate Exceeds Death Rate in Five Regions of Ukraine First Since 1990s] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090218034449/http://www.ukranews.com/eng/article/70952.html |date=18 February 2009 }}'' 4 October 2007. Retrieved 19 October 2007.</ref> This demonstrated a positive trend of increasing birthrates in the preceding years throughout Ukraine. The ratio of births to deaths in those oblasts in 2007 was 119%, 117%, 110%, 100.7%, and 108%, respectively.<ref name="Ukrainian news"/>

With the exception of the Kyiv Oblast, all of the oblasts with more births than deaths were in the less-industrially developed oblasts of western Ukraine. According to a spokesperson for Ukraine's Ministry of Justice, the overall ratio of births to deaths in Ukraine improved from 1 to 1.7 in 2004–2005 to 1 to 1.4 in 2008. However, the worst birth-to-death ratios in the country were in the eastern and central oblasts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Cherkasy and Poltava. These areas saw 2.1 deaths for every birth.<ref>Inna Filipenko. ''The Day''. [http://www.day.kiev.ua/263848/ Births and deaths: A record-breaking half million children were born in Ukraine last year.] #3. 3 February 2009. Retrieved 8 December 2009.</ref>

Notably, western Ukraine never experienced the [[Holodomor]], as [[Second Polish Republic|Poland]], [[Czechoslovakia]], and [[Kingdom of Romania|Romania]] ruled it at the time, helping to understand the more favorable demographic trends there, as the rural population was never devastated. Specifically, during the Holodomor, Poland ruled [[Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast|Ivano-Frankivsk]], [[Lviv Oblast|Lviv]], [[Rivne Oblast|Rivne]], [[Ternopil Oblast|Ternopil]], and [[Volyn Oblast|Volyn]] oblasts, whereas [[Zakarpattia Oblast]] was under Czechoslovak rule, and Romania controlled [[Chernivtsi Oblast]] and the [[Budjak]] section of [[Odesa Oblast]].

While abortion rates in the North, South, East and Center of Ukraine are relatively homogeneous, the Western region differs greatly. Overall, the abortion rate in western Ukraine is three times lower than in other regions. This is not due to increased use of modern contraceptive methods in the West, but to the fact that pregnant women in the Western regions are more likely to keep their babies.<ref>Natalia LEvchuk, Brienna Perelli-Harris.

===Regional differences in death rates and health===
[[File:Ukraine-death-rate-suicides-by-region.png|thumb|upright=1.2|Death rate from suicides per 100.000 people]]

Death rates also vary widely by region; eastern and southern Ukraine have the highest death rates in the country, and the life expectancy for children born in Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kherson, Kropyvnytskyi, Luhansk, Mikolaiv, and Odesa oblasts is 1.5 years lower than the national average.<ref name="unicef">Unicef.

Ukraine had a suicide rate of 16.5 per 100,000 population in 2017, a significant decrease from the suicide rate of 29.6 per 100,000 in 1998. Suicides were more frequent in the central part of the country (the highest suicide rate was in [[Kirovohrad Oblast]]; in western Ukraine, the suicide rate was lower than the national average. [[Lviv Oblast]] had the lowest suicide rate (5.3).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ukrstat.gov.ua/ |title=Home |website=ukrstat.gov.ua}}</ref>

Southern and eastern Ukraine also suffered from the highest rates of [[HIV]] and [[HIV/AIDS|AIDS]], which impacts life expectancy. In late 2000, 60% of all AIDS cases in Ukraine were concentrated in the Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, and Donetsk oblasts.<ref>The International Encyclopedia of Sexuality of the Kinsey Institute. Tamara V.

===Regional differences in income===
[[File:AverageMonthlySalary2019.png|thumb|upright 1.2|Average monthly salary by oblast in US dollars, 2019.]]

The western and central oblasts of Ukraine had lower GDP per capita than Kyiv and the industrialized eastern oblasts of Ukraine. In December 2019, the average monthly salary in Ukraine was 12,264 hryvnias (519 US dollars). [[Chernihiv Oblast]] (northern Ukraine) and [[Kirovohrad Oblast]] (central Ukraine) had the lowest monthly salary of 8,851 and 9,450 hryvnias, respectively. In contrast, the monthly wage in the city of [[Kyiv]] was 18,869 hryvnias per month, and in [[Kyiv Oblast]], 13,259 per month.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://index.minfin.com.ua/ua/labour/salary/average/ |title=Average Monthly Salary}}</ref> In 2013, outside of the capital city of Kyiv, the wealthiest oblast was [[Donetsk Oblast|Donetsk]] with an annual income of 31,048 hryvnias.

Ukraine recorded one of the sharpest declines in poverty of any transition economy in 2001–2016. The poverty rate, measured against an absolute poverty line (below $1.25 per day, based on [[World Bank]] numbers) fell from a high of 32 percent in 2001 to 8 percent in 2005. In terms of poverty rates, the central and northern oblasts have the country's highest poverty rates: 10.0%. The western and southern oblasts are 9.1% and 9%, respectively. Kyiv City had the lowest poverty rate: 1.4%.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTUKRAINE/Resources/poverty_update_200707_eng.pdf |title=UKRAINE: Poverty Update }}</ref>

==Migration==
[[File:MigrationGrowth2012ua.PNG|thumb|upright 1.2|Migration growth rate per 1,000 people, 2012]]

===Emigration===
Ukraine is the major source of [[Immigration|migrants]] for many [[member states of the European Union|EU member states]]. In the 1990s and early 2000s, Ukraine's sputtering economy and political instability contributed to rising [[emigration]], especially to nearby [[Poland]] and [[Hungary]], but also to other countries such as [[Italy]], [[Portugal]], [[Spain]], [[Israel]] and [[Canada]]. Although estimates vary, approximately two to three million Ukrainian citizens were working abroad, in construction, service, housekeeping, and agriculture industries.

Between 1991 and 2004, the government counted 2,537,400 individuals who emigrated; 1,897,500 moved to other post-Soviet states, and 639,900 moved to other, mainly Western, states.<ref>By Olena Malynovska, National Institute for International Security Problems, Kyiv [http://www.migrationinformation.org/Profiles/display.cfm?ID=365 Caught Between East and West, Ukraine Struggles with Its Migration Policy]</ref>

By the early 2000s, Ukrainian embassies reported that 300,000 Ukrainian citizens were working in Poland, 200,000 in Italy, approximately 200,000 in the [[Czech Republic]], 150,000 in Portugal, 100,000 in Spain, 35,000 in Turkey, 20,000 in the [[United States]] and smaller but significant numbers in [[Austria]], [[Belgium]], [[France]], [[Germany]], [[Greece]], [[Sweden]], [[Switzerland]] and the [[United Kingdom]]. The largest number of Ukrainian workers abroad, about one million, were in [[Russia]]. Since 1992, 232,072 persons born in Ukraine have emigrated to the United States.

Yet absolute numbers are less relevant to the economic impact on host countries than the volume of immigration as a proportion of the native population. Italy had the highest rate of Ukrainian emigrants as a proportion of the native population, while the far more populous Russia had the largest absolute confirmed number of Ukrainian emigrants (excluding Poland, Portugal and the Czech Republic, for which there was conflicting data).

===Immigration===
Between 1991 and 2003, about 100,000 illegal immigrants were detained at the western borders of Ukraine.<ref name="mp"/> As of 2005, about 5,000 illegal immigrants were being detained yearly, mostly from [[China]], [[India]], [[Pakistan]] and [[Afghanistan]].<ref name="mp">{{cite web|title=Caught Between East and West, Ukraine Struggles with Its Migration Policy|date=January 2006 |publisher=Migration Policy Institute|url=https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/caught-between-east-and-west-ukraine-struggles-its-migration-policy}}</ref> At the time, about 3,000 officially registered refugees resided in Ukraine, of whom most were [[Afghans]].<ref name="mp"/>

Ukraine accepted some 62,000 refugees from [[Transnistria]] following its [[Transnistria War|war]] in 1992.<ref name="mp"/> That same decade, thousands more were also accepted from other post-Soviet conflict zones in [[Abkhazia]], [[Chechnya]] and [[Tajikistan]].<ref name="mp"/>

Between the 1989 Soviet census and the 2001 census, an increased number of former [[Commonwealth of Independent States|CIS]] residents moved to Ukraine from war zones. The number of [[Armenians]] in Ukraine almost doubled to 99,900 people during this period, while the number of [[Georgians]] and [[Azerbaijanis]] also increased substantially.<ref name="mp"/>

As of April 2020, 1.4 million Ukrainians were [[internally displaced]] due to the [[war in Donbas]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://reliefweb.int/report/ukraine/national-monitoring-system-report-situation-internally-displaced-persons-march-2020 |title=National Monitoring System Report on the Situation of Internally Displaced Persons – March 2020 – Ukraine &#124; ReliefWeb |publisher=Reliefweb.int |date= 21 January 2021|access-date=2022-03-14}}</ref>
