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.
5 years ago was totally different, I pay less than 2 dollars for chicken per kilo, now it is more than 4. Inflation is the roots of all of this, but the best things happens in times of crisis for us. Our elected president was so smart that despite the pandemic, he still manage to lift the country up. So to cover up for the high prices of commodities, he gave people an increase in salary, mainly the government employees and my wife was one so I am thankful with that. He almost doubled it, also he gave money to the poor with not enough income to feed the family. If he wasn't been our leader, we would've been on a different path, maybe we were next to Sri Lanka or even worst than Ukraine.
