Ukraine's Demography
Migration Patterns
Ten percent of the entire Ukrainian population, or up to a fifth of the population of working age, works abroad, though mainly on a temporary basis. Ukraine greatly contributes to European immigration. The major destination countries of immigrants are Russia (1-3 million), Poland (300,000-800,000), Italy (200,000), Portugal (150,000), Czech Republic (250,000), Germany (128,000 immigrants), Spain (100,000), Turkey (35,000), Greece (13,000), Hungary (13,000), UK (12,000 legal immigrants), Slovakia (5,000), Netherlands (5,000), Belgium and Belarus (4,000). The main overseas and non-European destinations are the US (21,000) and Argentina (4,000). There is not as much internal migration within Ukraine. Most people typically do international migration. However, during Soviet times, there was some forced internal migration.
Healthcare
In the early 1990s, male life expectancy was 64 years. That figure declined to 61 by 1995/1996 before beginning a gradual improvement. In 2012, it was 66 years. While female life expectancy is much higher, it too declined in the 1990s, from 74 in the early 1990s to 73 in 1995/1996 and 76 in 2012. Still, due to the alcoholism and smoking among men, women's life expectancy is 10 years higher, one of the largest gaps in the world. Its life expectancy in comparison to the world is #156.
The infant mortality rate total is 8.1 deaths per 1,000 live births.The country's comparison of IMR to the world is #154.
Healthcare is widely available and free, but service is poor. Although medical advice is available, treatment is often inadequate because facilities frequently lack basic supplies and modern equipment. The number of physicians is 217,000 which is about 1 per 210 persons.
Education
The definition of literacy rate in Ukraine is people age 15 and over can read and write. Out of the total population 99.7% can of people can with a pretty equal distribution of males and females.
Education is highly valued in Ukraine. There are three levels of schooling. Students attend primary school from ages 6 to 9. Secondary school is divided into two levels: lower secondary school runs from ages 10 to 14, and higher secondary school lasts from ages 15 to 17 or 18. Schooling is compulsory through age 14. Most children attend public schools. Although these schools do not charge tuition, students are required to buy their own uniforms and some of their books and supplies. About 99 percent of students complete primary school, and about 85 percent of students attend secondary school. Optional higher level of education past lower secondary school is available. Many teenagers prefer to go to higher secondary school for two more years and prepare to enter a university. Many institutions (colleges) are located in Ukraine's major cities if you want to attend, but it requires money.
