Demographic Processes in Georgia in the Context of Global Challenges

Abstract

The end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century are rich in global challenges. Global challenges are manifested in various economic, political, military, etc. crises. Among them, the demographic crisis stands out. In addition, if the demographic crisis for the entire planet is a catastrophic increase in the population, in Georgia it is manifested in a sharp decrease in the number of the population. The paper studies and presents the events, processes and relevant statistical material reflecting the demographic crisis. Among the causes of the crisis, the causes of Georgia's birth rate, mortality, marriage, divorce, migration processes and their consequences are studied and analyzed, and future forecasts are made. The paper indicates that in order to prevent real threats arising from global challenges, it is necessary for state organizations to promptly implement demographic policy measures developed as the basis of the National Concept of Demographic Security of Georgia. Unfortunately, the practical steps taken by the state in this regard are extremely insufficient, which will further complicate the demographic situation in Georgia in the future.
