Competitive salaries is only solution of problem of lack of workforce – Poroshenko

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has urged employers to offer competitive salaries, as this is the only way to solve the problem of a lack of workforce in Ukraine.

"At my regular meetings with the government and law enforcement agencies, with business associations, employers are increasingly complaining about labor shortages, not the pressure. No one will impose the iron curtain on the border, as in the Soviet era. Dear employers, there is one way out: increase wages," Poroshenko said from the parliamentary rostrum, speaking with an annual message on Thursday.

Ukraine is becoming part of the single labor market, which means competition, he said.

"If you want the Ukrainians not to go abroad, but work for us, you have to be competitive in the salary market," the president said.
