How concerned are Ukrainians that AI will replace their jobs? A Rating Group survey as part of Gallup International's "End of Year" international study. Issue 5
In issue #5 of the End of Year Survey, we discuss how concerned Ukrainians are that AI will replace their jobs.
We compare the data with public opinions in other European countries.
The End of Year Survey (EoY) is a global annual survey by the international sociological association Gallup International on the future, happiness, and expectations of populations in various countries. In 2025, over 60,000 respondents were surveyed in 61 countries worldwide. In Ukraine, the EoY survey has been conducted for the third consecutive year by the Sociological Group "Rating" (Rating Group).
Almost a third (30%) of employees in Ukraine are concerned that artificial intelligence will replace their jobs
- At the same time, another 69% of working individuals stated that they are not concerned about this.
- Employed citizens are relatively more concerned that AI will replace their jobs than self-employed individuals (32% compared to 19%).
- Self-employed citizens feel significantly calmer: 78% are generally not concerned, with 60% specifically stating that it does not concern them at all.
- The most concerned (40%) are, that AI will replace their jobs, are citizens who are currently temporarily out of work (unemployed / on parental leave / engaged in household duties*).
- Ukraine is among the top 10 European countries with the calmest perception regarding the scenario of AI replacing respondents' jobs (considering the balance between the proportion of working respondents who are concerned and those who are not). The top 10 countries for this indicator also include Nordic countries, Estonia, Latvia, Croatia, Germany, and the Netherlands.
*in the context of the survey, 'work' refers to 'professional employment', meaning it does not include unpaid reproductive labor, such as childcare, housework, etc.

- Sample format: random sample of mobile phone numbers (population of Ukraine aged 18 and older in all regions, except for the temporarily occupied territories of Crimea and Donbas, as well as territories where Ukrainian mobile communication was absent at the time of the survey). The results are weighted using current data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine.
- Representativeness: the sample is representative by age, gender, and type of settlement (margin of error – no more than 3.1% with a confidence level of 0.95)
The international EoY demographic release includes survey data from 60,458 respondents from 61 countries.
Note: sometimes the sums of percentages in some charts may not arithmetically equal 100% due to rounding of numbers (including decimals).
