Next year, Ukrainian doctors and medical workers will have their salaries increased. The minimum wage will be at $ 700 (almost 18.5 thousand hryvnias). The Prime Minister of Ukraine Denis Shmygal informs about it.
Now the level of the average salary in Ukraine is at a record level for our country and is over $ 500. Shmygal told whether it is possible to call a country successful, in which one seventh of citizens go to work abroad.
«Recently, we see that the trend of people going abroad to earn money is starting to change. The pandemic, the growing demand for skilled labor in Ukraine, and some economic and social programs that encourage people to return have played a role here», noted Shmygal.
The politician announced a salary increase for doctors. According to the prime minister, doctors will soon receive more money.
«For the same doctors, next year we will make the average salary at $ 800-900, and the minimum – at $ 700» , - Shmygal told.
Speaking about the reasons for Ukrainians to go abroad, he pointed out that people can leave the country not only because of the level of salaries.
«Sociologists note that 80-90% of citizens see positive results. Given that we are scaling this project to different industries, it will definitely be a positive signal to many of our compatriots that the situation is changing and it should encourage people to live and work in Ukraine,» the politician said.
