The Crimean peninsula changed hands as well, in 1897 it was a part of the Taurida Governorate, but after the October Revolution became part of the Russian SFSR, and later was turned under the administration of the Ukrainian SSR. The territory of Budjak (southern Bessarabia) became a part of the Ukrainian SSR in June 1940.
The census of 1897 is taken with the correspondence to nine gubernias that included in the territory of today's Ukraine.
The statistics of 1906 records are taken from www.statoids.com which provides a broad degree of historical explanation on the situation in the Imperial Russia.
The censuses of 1926 through 1989 were taken in the Ukrainian SSR.
The 2003–2009 stats were taken from the official website of Ukrstat and represent the data as of February of each year for the real population. === Famines and migration === The famines of the 1930s, followed by the devastation of World War II, created a demographic disaster.
The census statistics of 1931 was estimated by Ukrainian professor Zenon Kuzela (1882–1952) from Berlin.
His calculations are as of 1 January 1931.
Life expectancy at birth fell to a level as low as ten years for females and seven for males in 1933 and plateaued around 25 for females and 15 for males in the period 1941–44.
During this year the number of children born was less than half of that born in 1987 and less than a quarter of that born in 1937.
The western regions of Ukraine, west of Zbruch river, until 1939 for most of the time were part of the Kingdom of Galicia and later the Polish Republic.

The censuses of 1926 through 1989 were taken in the Ukrainian SSR.
In 2014 the strong decline in births was re-established, with 2018 having fewer than half the number of births as in 1989.
Among the remaining Orthodox Ukrainians, 32.3% declared to be "simply Orthodox", without affiliation to any patriarchate, while a further 3.1% declared that they "did not know" which patriarchate or Orthodox church they belonged to. ==Regional differences== ===Regional differences in population change=== Between the Soviet census of 1989 and the Ukrainian census of 2001, Ukraine's population declined from 51,706,600 to 48,457,020, a loss of 2,926,700 people or 5.7% of the 1989 population.
A third western Ukrainian region, Volyn, lost less than 0.1% of its population between 1989 and 2001.
Collectively, between 1989 and 2001 the seven westernmost regions of Ukraine lost 167,500 people or 1.7% of their 1989 population.
The total population of these regions in 2001 was 9,593,800. Between 1989 and 2001, the population of Kyiv City increased by 0.3% due to positive net-migration.
Between 1989 and 2001, the Donetsk region lost 491,300 people or 9.2% of its 1989 population, and neighbouring Luhansk region lost 11% of its population.
Chernihiv region, in central Ukraine northeast of Kyiv, lost 170,600 people or 12% of its 1989 population, the highest percentage loss in of any region in Ukraine.
In southern Ukraine, Odessa region lost 173,600 people, or 6.6% of its 1989 population.
By 2001, Crimea's population declined by 29,900 people, representing only 1.4% loss of the 1989 population. However, this was due to the influx of approximately 200,000 Crimean Tatars – a number equivalent to approximately 10% of Crimea's 1989 population – who arrived in Crimea after 1989 and whose population in that region increased by a factor of 6.4 from 38,000 to 243,400 between 1989 and 2001.
Collectively, the net population loss in the regions of Ukraine outside the westernmost regions was 2,759,200 people or 6.6% of the 1989 population.
It is unclear if those moving to work in the EU intend this to be temporary or permanent. === Population decline === According to estimations of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the population of Ukraine (excluding Crimea) on 1 April 2021 was 41,487,960. The country's population has been declining since the 1990s because of a high emigration rate, coupled with high death rates and low birth rates.
Volyn's birthrate is higher than the average birth rate of any European country with the exceptions of Iceland and Albania. In 2007, for the first time since 1990, five Ukrainian regions (Zakarpattia Oblast, Rivne Oblast, Volyn Oblast, Lviv Oblast, and Kyiv Oblast) experienced more births than deaths.
During the 1990s and early 2000s, Ukraine's sputtering economy and political instability contributed to rising emigration, especially to nearby Russia, Poland and Hungary, but also to other States such as Italy, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Israel and Canada.
More than one million people moved into Ukraine in 1991–92, mostly from the other former Soviet republics.
In total, between 1991 and 2004, 2.2 million immigrated to Ukraine (among them, 2 million came from the other former Soviet Union states), and 2.5 million emigrated from Ukraine (among them, 1.9 million moved to other former Soviet Union republics).
In 2008 Ukraine posted record-breaking birth rates since its 1991 independence.
Although Ukraine has undergone immense political and economic transformations during 1991–2004, it has maintained a young age at first birth and nearly universal childbearing.
Since 1992, 232,072 persons born in Ukraine have emigrated to the US. From the point of view of the economic impact on natives, more appropriate than the absolute numbers is the volume of immigration as a proportion of the native population.
The population has been shrinking by an average of over 300,000 annually since 1993. In 2007, the country's rate of population decline was the fourth highest in the world. Ukraine suffers a high mortality rate from environmental pollution, poor diets, widespread smoking, extensive alcoholism and deteriorating medical care. During the years 2008 to 2010, more than 1.5 million children were born in Ukraine, compared to fewer than 1.2 million during 1999–2001.
Lower rates were recorded only in former East Germany, which registered 0.77 child/woman in 1994, as well as Taiwan (from 2008 to 2010), South Korea in 2018 and both Hong Kong and Macau (from about 2000 to 2010).

The demographics of Ukraine include statistics on population growth, population density, ethnicity, education level, health, economic status, religious affiliations, and other aspects of the population of Ukraine. The data in this article are based on the 2001 Ukrainian census which is the most recent, the CIA World Factbook, and the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine.
This ethnographer is mentioned in the encyclopedia of Ukraine as one of the sources only available due to lack of the official census. The 2001 census was the first (and so far only) official census of independent Ukraine.
Ukraine, where total fertility (a very low 1.1 in 2001), was one of the world's lowest, shows that there is more than one pathway to lowest-low fertility.
The demographic trend is showing signs of improvement, as the birth rate has been steadily growing since 2001.
Country comparison to the world: 53rd male: 24% female: 21.5% (2016 est.) ==Statistic rate of regional capitals== ==Ethnic groups== In 2001, the ethnic composition was: Ukrainians 77.8%, Russian 17.3%, Romanian 1.1% (including Moldovan 0.8%), Belarusian 0.6%, Crimean Tatar 0.5%, Bulgarian 0.4%, Hungarian 0.3%, Polish 0.3%, Jewish 1.0%, Pontic Greeks 0.2% and other 1.6% (including Muslim Bulgarians, otherwise known as Torbesh and a microcosm of Swedes of Gammalsvenskby).
Among the remaining Orthodox Ukrainians, 32.3% declared to be "simply Orthodox", without affiliation to any patriarchate, while a further 3.1% declared that they "did not know" which patriarchate or Orthodox church they belonged to. ==Regional differences== ===Regional differences in population change=== Between the Soviet census of 1989 and the Ukrainian census of 2001, Ukraine's population declined from 51,706,600 to 48,457,020, a loss of 2,926,700 people or 5.7% of the 1989 population.

Both are in the eastern Ukraine and have sustained direct losses as a consequence of military actions. Ukraine recorded one of the sharpest declines in poverty of any transition economy in 2001-2016 years.
The poverty rate, measured against an absolute poverty line (below $1.25 per day in dollars, based on World Bank) fell from a high of 32 percent in 2001 to 8 percent in 2005.

According to a spokesperson for Ukraine's Ministry of Justice, the overall ratio of births to deaths in Ukraine had improved from 1 to 1.7 in 2004–2005 to 1 to 1.4 in 2008.
The poverty rate, measured against an absolute poverty line (below $1.25 per day in dollars, based on World Bank) fell from a high of 32 percent in 2001 to 8 percent in 2005.
In 2006, there were an estimated 1.2 million Canadians of Ukrainian ancestry, giving Canada the world's third-largest Ukrainian population behind Ukraine itself and Russia.
The population has been shrinking by an average of over 300,000 annually since 1993. In 2007, the country's rate of population decline was the fourth highest in the world. Ukraine suffers a high mortality rate from environmental pollution, poor diets, widespread smoking, extensive alcoholism and deteriorating medical care. During the years 2008 to 2010, more than 1.5 million children were born in Ukraine, compared to fewer than 1.2 million during 1999–2001.
Net population growth over the first nine months of 2007 was registered in five provinces of the country (out of 24), and population shrinkage was showing signs of stabilising nationwide.
In 2007 the highest birth rates were in the western oblasts.
In the third quarter of 2007, for instance, the highest birth rate among Ukrainian regions occurred in Volyn Oblast, with a birth rate of 13.4/1,000 people, compared to the Ukrainian country-wide average of 9.6/1,000 people.
Volyn's birthrate is higher than the average birth rate of any European country with the exceptions of Iceland and Albania. In 2007, for the first time since 1990, five Ukrainian regions (Zakarpattia Oblast, Rivne Oblast, Volyn Oblast, Lviv Oblast, and Kyiv Oblast) experienced more births than deaths.
The ratio of births to deaths in those regions in 2007 was 119%, 117%, 110%, 100.7%, and 108%, respectively. With the exception of Kyiv region, all of the regions with more births than deaths were in the less industrially developed regions of western Ukraine.

In 2008 Ukraine posted record-breaking birth rates since its 1991 independence.
In 2008, Ukraine emerged from lowest-low fertility, and the upward trend has continued to 2012, while the population was still decrasing but at a pace that was slowing year to year.
Lower rates were recorded only in former East Germany, which registered 0.77 child/woman in 1994, as well as Taiwan (from 2008 to 2010), South Korea in 2018 and both Hong Kong and Macau (from about 2000 to 2010).

If early 2010s trends were continuing, the population of Ukraine could have returned to positive growth later in the same decade.
Similar trends were seen in Russia and Belarus as well, which experienced population growth in the 2010s.
Lower rates were recorded only in former East Germany, which registered 0.77 child/woman in 1994, as well as Taiwan (from 2008 to 2010), South Korea in 2018 and both Hong Kong and Macau (from about 2000 to 2010).

In 2013, outside of the capital city of Kyiv, the wealthiest region was Donetsk Oblast with annual income 31,048 hryvnias.
The next census was scheduled to take place in 2020 but was postponed to 2023. On 1 April 2021 the total population of Ukraine was estimated to be 41,487,960 excluding the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, which were annexed by Russia in 2014.
(If these two territories are included in the demographics of Ukraine, the population rises by approximately 2.25 million, to 44 million). During the 2014 Ukrainian Crisis, the Ukrainian Government also lost control of portions of the Donbas region, including major cities such as Luhansk, Donetsk and Horlivka.
In 2014 the strong decline in births was re-established, with 2018 having fewer than half the number of births as in 1989.
As of 2015, immigrants constituted an estimated 11.4% of the total population, or 4.8 million people.
There are also large Ukrainian immigrant communities in the United States, Poland, Australia, Brazil and Argentina. Since about 2015 there has been a growing number of Ukrainians working in the European Union, particularly Poland.
World Bank statistics show that money remittances back to Ukraine have roughly doubled from 2015 to 2018, worth about 4% of GDP.
Eurostat reported that 662,000 Ukrainians received EU residence permits in 2017, with 585,439 being to Poland.
But as of 2017, Donetsk Oblast ranks as the second poorest after Luhansk Oblast with annual incomes 25,278 hryvnias and 16,416 hryvnias respectively.

In 2019 an electronic census estimated that Ukraine's population, excluding Crimea and parts of the Donbas, to be 37.3 million. ==Historical data== There were roughly four million Ukrainians at the end of the 17th century. The majority of the historical information is sourced from Demoscope.ru.
This is lower than in 153 countries of the world. In 2019 the government run electronic census using multiple sources, including mobile phone and pension data and estimated that Ukraine's population, excluding Crimea and parts of the Donbas, to be 37.3 million.
Islam comprises 2% of the population, while Judaism were the religions of 0.2% of the population each. Among those Ukrainians who declared to believe in Orthodoxy, 38.1% declared to be members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyivan Patriarchate (canonized by the Eastern Church as of the 5 January 2019), while 23.0% declared to be members of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscovian Patriarchate (which is an autonomous Orthodox church under the Russian Orthodox Church).
In December 2019 the average monthly salary in Ukraine was 12,264 hryvnias (or 519 US dollars).
The next census was scheduled to take place in 2020 but was postponed to 2023. On 1 April 2021 the total population of Ukraine was estimated to be 41,487,960 excluding the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, which were annexed by Russia in 2014.
