==Regional Differences in Demographics==
[[Image:Ukraine census 2001 Ukrainians.svg|thumb|right|250px|Ethnic Ukrainians in Ukraine by oblast (2001)]]
Between the Soviet census of 1989 and the Ukrainian census of 2001, Ukraine's population declined from 51,271,996 to 48,077,020, a loss of 3,194,976 people or 6.23% of the 1989 population. Making it to date a country with the lowest birth rate in Europe<ref>[http://demoscope.ru/weekly/2007/0285/tema03.php Рождаемость в Украине самая низкая в Европе], Demoscope.ru, April 16–29, 2007 {{ru icon}}</ref> However, this trend has been quite uneven and varied regionally. Three regions in western Ukraine — [[Volyn Oblast|Volyn]], [[Rivne Oblast|Rivne]], and [[Zakarpattia Oblast|Zakarpattia]] saw a slight population increase of 0.2%, 0.8% and 1%, respectively. Collectively, between 1989 and 2001 the seven western regions annexed to the USSR in 1939 lost 119,893 people or 1.2% of their 1989 population. The total population of these regions in 2001 was 9,593,800.

Between 1989 and 2001, the population of [[Kiev Oblast|Kiev region]] increased by 6.9% and that of [[Kiev]] City by 1.5%. Outside the capital, the central, southern and eastern regions experienced a severe decline in population. Between 1989 and 2001, the [[Donetsk Oblast|Dontesk region]] lost 470,681 people or 8.9% of its population, and neighbouring [[Luhansk Oblast|Luhansk region]] lost 10.9% of its population. [[Cherkasy Oblast|Cherkasy region]], in central Ukraine south of Kiev, lost 10.8%, while [[Odessa Oblast|Odessa region]] lost 155,245 people, or 5.9% of its 1989 population. By 2001, Crimea's population declined by 396,795 people, representing 16.33% of the 1989 population, despite the return of displaced groups such as [[Crimean Tatars]]. Collectively, the net population loss in those parts of Ukraine that had belonged to the USSR prior to 1939 was 3,075,083 people or 6% of the 1989 population. The total population of these regions in 2001 was 38,483,220.

Thus, from 1989 until 2001 the pattern of population change was one of modest growth in Kiev, slight declines in western Ukraine, significant declines in eastern, central and southern Ukraine and a catastrophic decline in Crimea.

Regional differences in birth rates may account for some of the demographic differences. In the third quarter of 2007, for instance, the highest birth rate among Ukrainian regions occurred in [[Volyn Oblast]], with a birth rate of 13.4/1,000 people, compared to the Ukrainian country-wide average of 9.6/1,000 people,<ref>MIGnews: ''[http://mignews.com.ua/en/articles/274596.html Volyn Region – Fertility Leader in Ukraine]'', 10 Oct 2007. Retrieved 19 Oct 2007.</ref> which is the lowest in Europe. Volyn's birthrate is higher than the birth rate in any European country with the exceptions of Iceland and Albania.<ref>[https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2054rank.html CIA world factbook].</ref> In 2007, for the first time since 1990, five Ukrainian regions ([[Zakarpattia Oblast]], [[Rivne Oblast]],[[Volyn Oblast]], [[Lviv Oblast]], and [[Kiev Oblast]]) experienced more births than deaths.<ref>Ukrainian News: ''[http://www.ukranews.com/eng/article/70952.html Birth Rate Exceeds Death Rate in Five Regions of Ukraine First Since 1990s]'' 4th Oct 2007. Retrieved 19 Oct 2007.</ref> This demonstrates a positive trend of increasing birthrates in the last couple of years throughout Ukraine. The ratio of births to deaths in those regions in 2007 was 119%, 117%, 110%, 100.7%, and 108%, respectively. With the exception of Kiev region, all of the regions with more births than deaths were in western Ukraine.

==Migration==
Ukraine is the major source of [[migrants]] in many of the [[European Union]] Member States. During the 1990s and early 2000s, Ukraine's sputtering economy and political instability contributed to rising [[emigration]], especially to nearby [[Poland]] and [[Hungary]], but also to other States such as [[Italy]], [[Portugal]], [[Spain]], [[Turkey]], [[Israel]], [[Russia]] and [[Canada]]. Although estimates vary, approximately two to three million Ukrainian citizens are currently working abroad, most of them illegally, in construction, service, housekeeping, and agriculture industries.

Between 1991 and 2004, the government counted 2,537,400 individuals who emigrated; 1,897,500 moved to other post-Soviet states, and 639,900 moved to other, mainly Western, states.<ref>By Olena Malynovska, National Institute for International Security Problems, Kyiv [http://www.migrationinformation.org/Profiles/display.cfm?ID=365 Caught Between East and West, Ukraine Struggles with Its Migration Policy]</ref>

By the early 2000s, Ukrainian embassies reported that 300,000 Ukrainian citizens were working in Poland, 200,000 in Italy, approximately 200,000 in the [[Czech Republic]], 150,000 in Portugal, 100,000 in Spain, 35,000 in Turkey, 20,000 in the [[United States]] and small significant numbers in [[Austria]], [[Belgium]], [[France]], [[Germany]], [[Greece]], [[Sweden]], [[Switzerland]] and the [[UK]]. The largest number of Ukrainian workers abroad, about one million, are in the Russian Federation. Since 1992, 232,072 persons born in Ukraine have emigrated to the US.

From the point of view of the economic impact on natives, more appropriate than the absolute numbers is the volume of immigration as a proportion of the native population. Portugal and the Czech Republic have the highest rate of Ukrainian emigrants as a proportion of the native population.
