Georgia's female labor participation rate has experienced a significant decline over the past three decades, with the rate plummeting from 75.88% in 1994 to 53.05% in 2021, marking its all-time trough. This decline is a stark contrast to the country's early independence era, where female labor participation rate stood at 70.32% in 1990. Although Georgia has managed to recover somewhat, with the rate increasing to 56.70% in 2025, it still lags behind its peers, such as Bhutan, which also registered a 56.70% rate. The World Bank data indicates that Georgia's female labor participation rate has not regained its peak level since 1994. A sustained improvement in Georgia's female labor participation rate will depend on addressing the underlying structural barriers and social norms that hinder women's participation in the workforce, as well as implementing policies that promote women's empowerment and economic inclusion.
