Grain and labor - Ukraine has returned a hundred years ago
The structure of exports from Ukraine is now the same as under the Russian Empire in 1916. Professor, corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Lyudmila Shinkaruk stated this during a round table meeting in the Verkhovna Rada, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In 1916, when we were in the Russian Empire, we exported grain, food and metals. In 2017, bypassing the stage of development in the Soviet Union, we returned to what we export again - grain, food, metals, and added chemicals.
Those. The situation in the Ukrainian economy is critical.
This is one characteristic. And the second thing I would like to focus on is that the Ukrainian economy today – in international economic terms – is an economy that depends on labor, labor resources.
These two characteristics – export structures and the fact that we are dependent on labor resources – are a phenomenon that should be alarming when forecasting,” said Shinkaruk.
