[000:00:00;00] salary that was recently published, what kind of research is it, who did you interview, what methodology, yes, thank you, mr. andriy, first of all, thank you for inviting me to the studio, and our salary research is a component of our larger research, and this is actually a monthly enterprise survey , in a certain sense, it is really new a study that our team started almost immediately after the start of a full-scale war, and previously, according to a similar methodology, we conducted a quarterly survey of an enterprise that was still started at the end of the 90s, and this is a truly unique study with a very long series of data from a formed panel of the enterprise, which allowed us to monitor all economic changes in the country , all crisis situations over the past two decades, but the war is, of course, new challenges for the country, for the economy, and in particular

for boro information, in particular, statistical information that is needed for decision-making , and accordingly, in may 2022, we started a monthly survey, which has a similar methodology to the quarterly survey, but e it also contains the so-called special part and actually within the framework of this special part of the survey, we traditionally include a certain new block of questions every month that should reflect changes in various e-e spheres of the country's economic life, this is also a question of introducing innovation, this is a question of export , and in particular in july of this year, we included a question about salary increases , because this is a question. there are enough of them . jesus in society is always interesting to talk about. we agree on the main point.

the research spoke with your colleague oksana kuzyakov. it seems that last week there was also interesting information regarding the labor market. in particular, i was told about the increase in the lack of qualified labor on the labor market and the general problem with the lack of labor for entrepreneurs. they are already putting it in the top 5 problems, it seems that it was in the fourth place, now it is even in the third place, eh, after the increase in prices, problems with logistics, ah, well, they fall into the list of problems, where there are also security problems, which is interesting , corruption is somewhere on 10- just not in my place it is not a major obstacle today. but the labor market is really a problem . and if we talk about the lack of qualified labor, then ms. oksana mentioned the following reasons : well, in general, her mobilization is understandable, and it is the fact that there are many qualified

employees if you went abroad, you must have an official permit, or just an increase in economic activity after part of the land was liberated from the occupiers, so you can tell me how it is happening, from your point of view, from your part. research where salaries are discussed do you do you see the improvement of the deterioration of the situation as a whole, do wages increase during the war yes, uh, in general, wages increase like this in principle, positive information on the other hand , unfortunately, the ability to increase wages is only in a small part of the business and this is accordingly rejected in the results of our survey a- and in our research we asked a fairly simple question whether companies are increasing or have increased salaries

since the beginning of 2023, and as a result, well, only a third of the companies said that they raised 34% of the respondents. at the same time, more than half of the companies did not leave salaries unchanged, that is 59% of the respondents, and at the same time, of course, there are also companies that were forced to reduce wages by various methods , and such companies, 7% of the respondents, in fact, the majority kept the salaries at last year’s level levels, although a third still managed to get a raise, and if we talk about this raise, how big was it or was it at all noticeable to the employees, even if we understand that last year, for example, the inflation index it was not that double-digit there for 20% to 30% was approaching and uh, what was the increase or did it

at least compensate for this new growth . unfortunately , the salary increase was small there. citizen's passport, that's my question. it's fair. it's fair. what was the salary increase ? it wasn't big. then i'd also like to point out that our survey primarily concerns industrial enterprises . since our sample includes 500 plus of industrial enterprises, respectively, it reflects the situation primarily in the production sector, but in principle, if compared with other data that are currently available, the situation is very similar in other sectors of the economy, according to our data , enterprises increased wages by 12% on average, while this increase is almost

the same for enterprises of different sizes, i.e., small, medium, and large enterprises on average increased by about 12%. and if, for example, you look at other available data, the situation is quite similar for example, a few days ago the data of the pension fund of ukraine were published according to these data, the salary in june, the average salary was uah 16,000 , if compared to the previous year , the salary increased by 15% in nominal terms, of course we take into account what is included there all sectors of the economy, while taking into account inflation, the real increase in wages was only two percent , that is, in principle, if you look at the available data published by state authorities

, look at the results of our survey we can see that the salary increase was more nominal in order to compensate in a certain way for these losses of employees due to inflation . the situation is changing because the national bank curbed inflation and well, plus or minus , of course, it is not 5% inflation, but at least it will not be 30 this year, and then it will work out. well, at least maintain the level of real salaries, if you talk about reductions, you said that the company some non-trivial methods of salary reduction are used because well, obviously, just announcing that the salary is lower is rather difficult, it is such an inflexible mechanism, what do entrepreneurs do in order to

save money? yes, that’s enough, it’s an interesting question. pointed out that 7% of enterprises were forced to reduce wages. accordingly, we asked them how this reduction took place , of course. as it turned out, the most popular method was the announcement of layoffs, we understand that in our country , for example, there are regions where it is enough a difficult situation that is close to the front, and there are also industries in which enterprises have you, uh, been to um, in which enterprises had such serious challenges related to logistics and the fact that many workers have moved outside the country and she is on the territory of the country internal movement of people, and accordingly, these enterprises were not able to keep the level of production at the previous level

, and accordingly, they quite often announced layoffs, and this is almost two or three, in fact, almost 2/3 of the surveyed enterprises had layoffs , this is precisely among those that reduced wages in addition to this, the company quite often reduced the percentage of revenue received by certain employees at certain productions and reduced bonuses, bonuses, etc., and there was also the transfer of employees to part-time work, and also quite popular method is sending employees on vacation at their own expense resourceful entrepreneurs, when it is necessary to cut salaries, sometimes there are objective reasons for this, i understand, but sometimes it happens that it was possible to save in another way and

not on people, do we have hope for what is still to come at the end of the year, we are now saying that it is still in august and that by the end of the year there will still be wage increases in the industrial enterprises, the enterprises where you conducted the survey mainly. and there is hope, but unfortunately , it is still quite small if you look at our sample, and then only 14% of enterprises said that they plan to raise wages by the end of the year, and at the same time, almost three times more than the 40% surveyed, they indicate that such an increase is planned, but at the same time, we have recorded a very high level of uncertainty regarding wages, that is, almost half of the surveyed sub-prizes they simply cannot answer this question because we cannot even predict the results of their economic activity so far. no, not only because we also have the autumn-winter period ahead of us.

accordingly, we all still do not know what to do to expect, for example, a power outage, because last year it was quite a powerful challenge, even according to our survey, on average in november -december there were blackouts in most enterprises and there were losses of up to 20% of working time, respectively all this affects the long-term planning of enterprises, and even if you look at the results of our survey, we have a fairly high level of long-term uncertainty, and it is easier for enterprises to plan and estimate what awaits them, for example, in the next 2-3 months, but it is quite difficult to understand what will be the economic situation at the semi-financial and economic situation at the company, for example at the beginning of next year, where, according to january, it is difficult for them to assess whether they will really be able to raise

wages, for example, at the end of the year. thank you mr. yevhen yevhen the angel was with us in a program about the economy on the espresso tv channel, a senior researcher at the institute of economic research and political consultations , they talked about the salary study that they conducted in july, well, the results are available now, and this study can be found on the institute's website, get to know it there are many interesting graphs of small, uh, such that are nice to look at, uh, even for a long time , salaries are increasing, but unfortunately only in a third of the company, and the increase so far does not compensate for the increase in prices. but this year, everything everything can change today, andriy yanitskyi, host of the economic program, together we will beat ukraine-england on megogo in the selection for euro 2024, our national team needs

. congratulations , this is freedom. can shock news from the scene of the events live kamikaze drone attacks political analysis objectively and meaningfully there is no political season exclusive interviews reports from the hottest points of the front freedom frankly and impartially draw your own conclusions, watch this week's judicial control program with tetyana shustrova, why the legal higher education institutions still haven't elected their representative of the urp, congresses of scientists almost always took place with scandals, and what problems are facing the congress of scientists , they noted a certain closedness of this process , congratulations, you are watching judicial control i am tetyana shustrova, judicial reform is underway in ukraine , fulfilling the requirements for joining the european

union, we are completely rebooting the system and updating the composition of the key bodies of the judiciary governance after an almost one-year break in january 2023 in ukraine, the supreme council of justice finally started working, now it consists of 17 members out of 21 others are to be elected by professional communities, but what problems arose during the election of a member of the vrp from the congress of law universities let's talk today in three weeks , on september 21, a congress of representatives of higher educational institutions will be held again, which must elect one member of the supreme council of justice.

none of the candidates voted for the majority of delegates in the previous congresses of scientists almost always took place with scandals, for example, in 2009 , a congress was held in odesa, which was organized by a kind of council of law schools and scientific institutions , an organization created by the odious ex-regional serhiy kivalov, the ministry of education tried to hold own congress, but nothing came of it. as a result , three members of the supreme council of justice were appointed at the odessa congress. of educational institutions always happens with a certain fate of intrigue eh not always as required by law in 2019 at the congress there were disputes regarding the participation of representatives from higher education institutions

of the ministry of internal affairs and once again there were conflicts between the ministry of internal affairs and the ministry of justice believed that the representatives of these institutions were equivalent to military universities by their status , so they could not participate in the congress, instead , the ministry of education expressed the opposite opinion, then the odious ilya kiva appeared at the congress, who put pressure on the participants and called to allow them to participation of representatives of these institutions, in the end, representatives of the mia system were admitted to the congress, and viktor hryschuk, who represented the lviv state university of internal affairs, became a member of the vrp. it is interesting that later in 2022, during the cleaning of the vrp, the same hryschuk received a conclusion of non-compliance with the criteria of integrity and professionalism from the ethical council the ethical council assessed, as far as i remember

, the integrity of the existing members of the supreme council of justice . due to the fact that the conversations between mr. hryshchuk and the wolf were recorded on the tapes associated with the odious pavel vovk, and as a result of this , the critical council recognized this behavior as not entirely virtuous since the previous congresses, now it is possible to state some progress, the last meetings of scientists were held in a legal manner and with the help of manual organizations, but there were not without conflicts and problems that require a legislative solution, the law on the supreme council of justice establishes a number of requirements and institutions that participate in the congress and if the duration of the training of masters of law for 10 years can be checked by the date of the license, everything else

is much more complicated . you can have a license, licensed shelling for 75 all, but not actually train such a number of people , a separate issue for institutions of higher education with specific conditions until december 2021 in the law about higher education, they were equated to military academies, and therefore did not have the right to participate in the congress. today, the law demarcates these institutions, and therefore the prohibition is established in the law about the supreme council of justice, justice does not extend to them. they have their own specifics of training personnel based on this

understanding of the mission of these institutions, we understand participation in the formation of such a constitutional body if there was still a council of justice they should not luhansk university of internal affairs and didorenko e-e it was liquidated by the decision of the cabinet of ministers but in the lists e-e of educational institutions that have the right to participate in the congress, he was there and the congress delegates from this institution were a testimony to the fact that the ministry of education cannot check above and establish their compliance with the criteria. there are a different number of such institutions at the congresses on august 19 last year. 51, while on the second of june of the current year, 65 so the de jure foundation insists that the criteria for selecting law schools should be strengthened, since the members of the law school should be chosen by those institutions that

train masters at a qualitatively high level. of education and some clearer criteria that ensured the selection for these institutions, a more qualitative selection of institutions that can get to the vrp , for example , the presence of accredited educational programs in the institution of higher education at the master's level and at the level of the doctor of philosophy can be a criterion there at the same time, today the law does not regulate the requirements of ideological delegates of the congress, this is exclusively the responsibility of universities and scientific institutions, mostly educational institutions delegate persons who hold the positions of associate professors scientific staff, professors, heads of departments, deans and vice-chancellors, but strange situations happen when

you delegate to the congress a person who is a part-time employee. another problem with the selection of members of the vrp from law schools is the oversaturation of representatives of one educational institution. as of june 2, 2023 , the supreme council of justice was two representatives of kharkiv university named after yaroslav the wise, one of them, mykola moroz, was elected by the verkhovna rada, and the other, dmytro lukyanov, by the congress of scientists and educators, in the event that we are a congress of legal entities of educational institutions still elected to the vrp e-e there would be three representatives of one of the e-e institutions of further education and perhaps we really need to change the approach in the higher council of justice in the law. in particular

, candidates were not delegated to scientific institutions, but only one scientific institution delegated, for example , the national academy of primary sciences, two delegates, and the institutes that are part of the structure of this academy did not delegate exper de jure indicate and on one more problem of the election of a representative of the vrp from law schools, the procedure for holding the congress is not transparent enough, the list of institutions, the list of delegates and the procedure for holding the event were not publicly disclosed before , and the broadcast of the event and the last congress that took place on june 2, 23 , was not provided. to be held more openly than the previous ones. we appealed to education in a separate letter and asked them to give

us a list of higher education institutions participating in the congress and delegates. the organizing committee and the organization of this potential congress have a single-purpose committee to ensure its full e-e broadcast transparently so that everyone has the opportunity , the public has the opportunity to monitor the correctness of the election of a member of the gdp, all that in the legislation there is no responsibility for the absence of the congress 19 last august, a large number of law schools and scientific institutions ignored the event for various reasons and did not send delegates . as a result , only 37 representatives from the 51st institution took part in the congress of the possible and two delegates, only 65 were actually present and only 62 took part in the vote, so the same situation arose in

june 2023 at the last congress held on june 2. at the end of the day yes, some delegates who did not, well, because of which it was not even possible to potentially fulfill the requirement of the law about 50% of those elected by the delegation, we are going here to foresee some specific imperative requirement regarding to the educational institutions of the delegates for the fulfillment this function is definitely necessary because it is the formation of a constitutional body and those who take part in this process should feel responsible for making their decision lawyers and the all-ukrainian conference of prosecutors who also elect members of the supreme council of justice the congress of representatives of law schools has no other

powers than election members of the willows today are a situational gathering of sometimes quite random people who are endowed with only one function, so according to de jure experts in the process of judicial reform, we will not be hindered either at the legislative level, to turn the congress into a full-fledged institution with a wide range of powers, and until this has happened , we can only hope that on september 21 , representatives of law schools will finally elect their representative in the supreme council of justice, and a successful judicial reform will lead ukraine to the european union. all this was judicial control and i am tatyana shustrova if you want to report corrupt judges or illegal decisions, write to me on facebook or to this email address

see you in exactly a week, all the best you are watching the program of the ukrainian voice of america service time my name is maria yanovska congratulations let's start with the main european news the united kingdom has replaced the minister of defense ben walls the new head of the ministry has become an experienced politician and the former minister of energy grandshaps handballs has become a symbol of unwavering british support for ukraine in the war against russia, and one of the notable episodes of his activity was the case in the summer when he called on ukraine to make more efforts to show international partners in its gratitude for help about what led to such changes in the government of the united kingdom and how this will be reflected in aid to ukraine we
