This note provides an overview of
demographic changes and their policy implications in
Georgia, with particular reference to the poor.
Georgia's population is expected to decline between
2010 and 2050, and this trend will be accompanied by a
growing elderly cohort and a rising total dependency ratio.
The note emphasizes four interrelated policy topics. These
are labor force participation, labor force productivity, and
potential cost pressures arising from the pension system and
from the health sector. In each area, special attention is
given to the linkages between these issues, social spending
programs, and opportunities for targeting the poor. The note
does not present specific policy recommendations, but
instead outlines broad areas where future analytical work
might be undertaken to arrive at more precise policy
options. The note is structured as follows. The next section
summarizes the key demographic trends underway in Georgia.
Section three presents a profile of poverty and social
spending by age. Section four analyzes the four policy
issues listed in column two of table one. In each of these
sections, the poverty reduction angle is emphasized. The
final section provides a summary of the key messages, with
an emphasis on policy priorities going forward. |
