Notes
We will be providing technical assistance (remotely) on methods and software to be used for population projections. GEOSTAT will be issuing population projections for Georgia and its regions in early 2022.
Some special issues for Georgia are (1) how to handle estimates and projections for regions not currently under government control; (2) limited historical data for assessing trends in Georgia's population; and (3) high level of uncertainty about future migration and the possibility of large return flows of older migrants (retirees) in the future.
