According to the survey, the vast majority of Ukrainians (63%) are considering changing their job within the next six months. Moreover, almost a third (31%) are confident about this decision, and another 32% are inclined to make it.
The main motivations for respondents to change jobs include the desire to receive higher salaries. Employees are also dissatisfied with the lack of professional and career growth prospects, poor working conditions, uncomfortable team atmosphere, and inconsistency of personal values with the company's principles.
The ratio of average real wages to desired wages (the wage satisfaction index) is only 57%. In other words, on average, Ukrainians receive a little more than half of the amount they would be satisfied with.
The largest gap between actual and desired salaries is observed in the group with the lowest incomes (up to 7,500 hryvnias ($186)). For them, the desired salary exceeds the actual one by an average of 2.5 times.
