Ukraine's Changing Labor Market

With men being drawn into Ukraine's war, women are starting more businesses and taking more jobs in industry and construction. This is evident at a coal mine in eastern Ukraine, where over 100 women now work underground, taking up jobs vacated by conscripted men. The increase in women's participation in the labor market is also seen in the fact that over half of the small and medium-sized businesses registered in Ukraine this year are run by women.
