Important: receipt of social assistance does not fully correspond to the official statistical measure of poverty. Therefore, the data cannot be automatically interpreted as the number of children living below the poverty line. In total, according to the Social Services Agency, 547,115 Georgians received poverty allowances in September. At the same time, the number of social assistance recipients is decreasing: in September alone there were 23,241 fewer people than in August.
