OREANDA-NEWS. August 06, 2012. During the current government’s 2.5 years, 1661 object of social infrastructure was built in Ukraine.

"Over the 2.5 years in Ukraine it was built an unprecedented number of social objects - 1661. These are hospitals, kindergartens, community centers, theaters, and other institutions that are vital to our people" - Mykola Azarov said.

He also noted that during the 2.5 years average salary in Ukraine increased for 1 000 hryvnia per month, while the average pension increased for 400 UAH.

However, the Prime Minister stressed that it is still not satisfied with the growth of social benefits. "Is the Government satisfied with these results? No, of course not. Because we understand that, for example, the average pension has increased to 1400 UAH per month. We are well aware that to survive for these funds are difficult. Despite the fact that the average wage increased from two thousand to four thousand UAH, we understand that this level of payments do not cover all the needs of our people" – Mr. Azarov summed. He promised that government will continue to further improve social welfare payments in line with economic development.
