Join the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute for a talk with Ella Libanova on Ukraine’s current demographic situation and for where the country’s demography is headed on the eve of the 2019 presidential election. The last national census of Ukraine was conducted nearly 20 years ago. Recent attempts to conduct a new census since have been postponed. Complicating the issue, events in Ukraine such as Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the war in the East have led to dramatic demographic changes that remain unaccounted for in official statistics. Professor Ella Libanova, Director of the Ptoukha Institute for Demography and Social Studies of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, will address issues related to demography in her talk. The event will be in Ukrainian with English translation. RSVP is requested.

Speaker:

Ella Libanova, director, Ptoukha Institute for Demography and Social Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
