Living minimum in Ukraine: one jacket for three years

In Ukraine, the official standards of the subsistence minimum remain far from reality. This was stated by the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Financial Committee, Danilo Getmantsev, commenting on the current standards of the consumer basket and the financial calculations used to determine state support.

According to the current standards, a teenager in Ukraine owns one winter jacket for three years, as well as one demi -season jacket - also for three years. For an adult woman, the state provides only two suits or dresses for seven years. These figures look absurd, especially against inflation, wartime and rising prices for basic things.

Getmantsev acknowledged that the current subsistence minimum, laid in the budget at the level of about 2,900 hryvnias a month, is completely detached from reality. “This is an abstract category. It is impossible to live for this money. And even at the actual subsistence minimum, which is 3.5 times higher, it is also difficult to live. It's something from the official's imagination, ”he said.

At the same time, the official emphasized that the government is aware of the need to revise the subsistence minimum and real filling of social standards. But, according to Getmantsev, now there is simply "no money".

Such a statement once again raises the issue of social justice in the country. The subsistence minimum is the basis for calculating pensions, scholarships, benefits and salaries in the budget sphere. His lowering directly beats the most vulnerable categories of the population - pensioners, children, low -income families.

NGOs and trade unions have repeatedly urged to review the methodology of consumer basket formation and set minimal social standards in accordance with real prices for goods and services. However, the state continues to operate in numbers that are increasingly reminiscent of economic hoax.
