The prices of goods and services are increasing everywhere in the world, inflation being the major reason why, the physical and political war in Ukraine is also compounding issues for some specific countries, as we know if prices of commodities are high which they are, people will spend more money to buy the goods they need and pay for the services they want. Standard of living on the other hand is like a general term to quantify the economic well-being of people in any country, meaning if the prices of goods and services are high, people would be able to afford very little goods and services and that will make the standard of living to drop generally, and that also goes vice versa.

So i would like to know what the standard of living is like in your country now compared to five years ago. Was there any sharp difference in the standard of living pre pandemic and now. If there is a great fall in the standard of living in your country, have there been any move by the government and employers of labor to alleviate the sufferings of people. People who live in Ukraine, if you don't mind, i think a lot of people would want to know what it is like there too since the war began.

As far as I can see in almost all the countries post covid, just one thing has happened which is the widening of the gap between rich and the poor. In my country too the very same thing has happened, the riches have become even richer, especially the wealth of a few has grown exponentially while a few below the poverty line have just gone even down in their wealth chart, while the governments play the game of saying that all the statistics are lying and we are doing pretty good as a country. In a developing economy you will anyway see a rise in the standard of living in 5 years time frame unless you are in Sri Lanka or Ukraine.
