Ukraine faces looming population implosion after four years of war
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
After four years of war, Ukraine is facing a deep demographic crisis driven by heavy frontline losses and mass emigration. The country now has one of the world’s highest death rates and lowest birth rates. Experts warn of a looming “population implosion” that could outlast the fighting. Entire communities are losing working-age adults and young families. Hospitals and schools are already feeling the long-term strain. Analysts say the challenge will intensify once the war ends. Rebuilding the population may prove harder than rebuilding infrastructure. Al Jazeera’s Jonah Hull report from Zhytomyr.
