West suggests Ukrainian women refugees urgently return home
Ukraine needs refugee women to return home as soon as possible, Bloomberg writes.
"If 2.8 million able-bodied women can't be persuaded to return, it will cost 10% of Ukraine's GDP - about $20 billion. Ukraine is already short of 4.5 million workers, and the shortage can be made up just by those returning. Because of combat losses, the supply on the labor market is shrinking.
But, most likely, those who found work in Europe will stay there, one of the refugees is sure.
Ukraine's birth rate of 1.2 was reportedly one of the worst in Europe before the war. And after the start of the war, the demographic situation became even worse.
