The Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers Dmytro Dubilet has said that the next stage of the estimation of the population of Ukraine will be held in February-March. It aimed to establish the exact number of people living in individual settlements at the district level.
“Now we have details at the level of regions and large cities, and we set ourselves the task of making an assessment at the district level during February-March. Now, if we can do this, I think that then we can plan much better,” Dubilet said on the air of Breakfast with 1 + 1 panel show.
The minister is convinced that the traditional census does not work anymore in the 21st century, because during the trial census conducted in December in the districts of Kyiv and Kyiv region, about 25% of people did not open the doors to the employees of the State Statistics Service.
“Again, speaking a bureaucratic language, this is not a census. But, if we say that our goal was to quickly and accurately assess how many people live in Ukraine, then this method is quite acceptable. We will use it primarily in infrastructure planning. We have already begun a large construction, and for this we really need to understand where and how many people live,” Dubilet said.
The Minister stressed that the figure of 37 million people does not include data from the occupied territories, since Ukraine cannot estimate the population in the Crimea and in parts of Donbas now.
As The Journalist reported, About 3.7 mln people reside in Kyiv, Ukraine.
