Next Ukrainian Census

The next Ukrainian Census (Ukrainian: Всеукраїнський перепис населення) will be conducted by the State Statistics Service of Ukraine.[1] The last census (and so far the only census held in independent Ukraine[2]) was conducted in 2001; tentatively, the next census was supposed to be conducted ten years later, according to standards set by the United Nations.[3] However, the census was delayed regularly since.

The 2001 census recorded the population of Ukraine as 48,457,100 people.[4] By 2018, that population had dropped down to 43,952,300 (according to the CIA World Factbook).[5]

History

In September 2013 the second Azarov Government set the census' date in 2016.[3] In December 2015, the second Yatsenyuk Government postponed the census' date to 2020.[2]

In October 2019, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine confirmed that the national census was planned to be held from 10 November to 23 December 2020.[1] But in April 2020 Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers Oleh Nemchinov confirmed that in 2020 there will not be a census in Ukraine and probably also not in 2021 because the census was considered "an expensive pleasure."[6] Nemchinov stated in December 2020 that the next Ukrainian census was planned for 2023.[7]
