Ukrainians have rated their social mood at 40 out of 100 points, according to the results of a new survey that has been conducted every month since September by the SOCIS Center for Social and Marketing Research.
"According to our research… the social mood is rated at 39-40 points. This is little below the standard rate, but is a rather stable social state," Director of the SOCIS Center for Social and Marketing Research Mykola Churylov said at a press conference in Kyiv on Thursday, where the results of the study were released.
At the same time, he noted that in Russia, Armenia, and Georgia the level of social mood is lower than in Ukraine, although in Belarus the rate is better.
According to him, the situation is most favorable in Kyiv city, Donetsk and Luhansk regions, while in Crimea the social mood sharply decreased in October and its residents have a fear of going hungry. According to the study, 60% of Ukrainians are concerned over the rapid rise in prices, the loss of jobs, unemployment, and arrears of wages and pensions.
The results of the survey also showed that 50% of Ukrainians are dissatisfied with the economic situation live in the western, central and eastern regions. In addition, 30% of those polled noted that the situation in the sphere of democracy had worsened.
The sociological survey was held in September, October and November of the current year. A total of 2,007 people were polled.
