Forbes: economic catastrophe - not the worst thing that will happen to Ukraine
Apart from financial difficulties, Ukraine is much more dangerous lurking in historical perspective problem associated with a dramatic decrease in the country's employable residents, says journalist mark Adomanis.

according to his vision, even if financial support from the IMF will give Ukraine a possibility to solve the problem of public debt, the country will need to avoid such danger, as the demographic crisis.

according to the summary data of the Ukrainian Department of statistics from 2014 and 2015, the population of Ukraine fell by more than 250,000 people, with regard to departed from the Crimea and Sevastopol.

According to official data, the loss of residents is not due to hostilities in the Donbass, and because of migration. Tens of thousands of Ukrainians are leaving the country, going to the Russian Federation and nearby countries. This is the same official Ukrainian statistics record inflows in 2014 and the first quarter of 2015.

But This, says the maker, sounds, at least, is absurd, taking into account that in Ukraine there is a war.

In addition, in 2015, Ukraine has seen a sharp drop in the birth rate, which decreased by 12% in comparison with 2014.

All these trends mean that after some time, the population of Ukraine is greatly reduced, and, means, will be reduced and the number of working-age Residents, which, for its part, will lead to even more economic problems. This will mean a growing need of Ukraine in foreign financial assistance, for this reason, the West will have to invest even more funds.
