Georgia's population has been growing, not shrinking, in recent years - new data from Sakstat.
After a recalculation of the statistics, it became clear that during the last three years the population had grown to 3.9 million people. The main reason is immigration.
At the same time, the population continues to age: for ten years, the proportion of residents over the age of 65 increased from 14.3% to 17.6%.
The re-counting was carried out after the 2024 census, and changed the criterion for permanent residence of immigrants from 6 to 12 months.
