This was stated by First Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Economy Yulia Svyrydenko at the forum in Davos, Censor.NET reports with reference to Ukrinform.
"The National Bank of Ukraine estimates the unemployment rate at 30%. This means that 4.7 million Ukrainians are looking for work and cannot find it. These figures include 2.7 million people outside Ukraine who want to return now and start working and 2 million within the country," she said.
According to the minister, the departure of millions of Ukrainians who were actively involved in the Ukrainian economy is a very big challenge.
