  5. Executive Summary - Decent Work Country Profile - Ukraine - Second Edition Pre-publication Draft

    26 February 2013

    The global economic crisis put an abrupt end to almost a decade of buoyant economic growth in Ukraine. Economic activity contracted sharply with a large proportion of heavy industry closing temporarily or operating far below capacity. Real GDP shrank by some 20 per cent and labour market conditions deteriorated dramatically. This led to a significant expansion of involuntary part-time work, administered leave and an explosion in wage arrears. An International Monetary Fund (IMF) stand-by agreement of $16.4 billion has restored a degree of economic health – with an agreed GDP deficit fixed at six per cent – tied to reductions in public sector expenditures. Economic growth resumed in 2010 and the labour market began a tentative recovery that is continuing. Between 2000 and 2008, the Ukrainian economy grew on average 6.9 per cent per year. This steady growth rate was achieved through reform measures and thanks to favourable trading terms and inflow of capital. The global crisis, as well as leaving its own problems, exposed Ukraine’s structural weaknesses: a crumbling infrastructure, insecure property rights, an ageing population and systemic corruption. Moving forward, Ukraine needs to strengthen official labour market and social data to fully capture changes in social indicators and monitor progress towards decent work.
