Issue 148: Youth Employment in Georgia
Our latest publication examines youth employment in Georgia from 2020 to 2023.
- The successful participation of youth (those aged 15-24) in Georgia’s labor market is vital for the country’s socioeconomic development. It promotes social integration, reduces poverty, and boosts economic productivity.
- During 2020-2023, the contribution of youth to the Georgian labor market declined, even though during this time the proportion of youth among the total population aged 15 and older remained stable. Decreasing participation of youth in the labor market is driven by both emigration and extended education periods.
- In 2023, approximately one out of every five young persons in Georgia neither worked nor studied, while only 7% of them managed to work and study simultaneously.
