Overview
Georgia's dependency ratio stood at 57.76 in 2025, a rise of +0.43 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 57.76 by 2025. Georgia ranked 88th globally.
Georgia’s total dependency ratio has risen modestly over the 66‑year series, moving from 56.68 in 1960 to 57.76 in 2025, placing the country 88th globally. The ratio reached its all‑time high of 62.20 in 1969, reflecting a post‑war baby boom and limited labor‑force participation, before falling to a trough of 47.62 in 2011 as the working‑age cohort expanded and emigration of younger adults slowed. The recent figure of 57.76 is almost identical to the European Union’s 57.80 and Denmark’s 57.74, underscoring Georgia’s convergence with advanced economies in the balance between dependents and workers. The upward drift since the 2010s suggests that ageing demographics and a modest decline in fertility are beginning to outweigh the earlier gains from labor‑force growth. Continued improvements in labour‑market integration of older workers and policies that raise fertility or attract younger migrants would be needed to reverse the emerging upward trajectory.
