Marchak noted that the subsistence level should be reformed / photo ua.depositphotos.comThe size of the subsistence minimum in Ukraine is very different from its actual level, this indicator must be reformed.
The first Deputy Minister of Social Policy Darius Marchak told this in an interview with Radio Liberty.
“It is very important for poverty support programs to be really effective, we need to solve the subsistence level. You know that today we have several subsistence levels (for able -bodied, children, pensioners),” she said.
