Parenting: plans and needs of Ukrainians

Data from Rating Group forms the basis of a new UNICEF study on parenthood! In May 2025, we surveyed Ukrainians who are planning to have children, pregnant women, and parents of children aged 0–6. The survey was conducted in collaboration with Advanter Group and with the support of the Center for Social Change and Behavioral Economics.

According to our partners at UNICEF, the survey results revealed the following:

  • 21% of respondents plan to have a child in the near future, while another 26% are postponing this decision until the end of the war.
  • 89% of Ukrainian parents understand the importance of emotional connection with their child for their psychological well-being.
  • At the same time, 67% of parents do not have access to basic resources to support them in raising their children. Only 20% have attended a specialized parenting course at least once.
  • 86% of respondents believe it is necessary to launch a national program to support parenthood.
