Public toilets
editThe local word for public toilet is Туалет.[1] A 2021 study found there were seven public toilets per 100,000 people.[2]
The most common type of toilet is a sit toilet,[1] though public squat toilets are more common in provincial areas like Melanzh.[3] Public toilets often do not have toilet paper.[1] Some semi-automated public toilets are found in Kyiv.[4]
The typical charge to use a public toilet is ₴2.[1] Many countries that used to belong to the Soviet Union require payment to an attendant to access. The money is then used to defray the cost of cleaning and maintenance. The fee does not go towards providing services in the public toilet.[5]
An issue in developing countries is toilet access in schools. Only 46% of schools in developing countries have them.[6]
