| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 42.41% | 2025 |
| Five years earlier | 47.76% | 2020 |
| Ten years earlier | 52.52% | 2015 |
| Highest | 64.8% | 2004 |
| Lowest | 42.41% | 2025 |
| Average since 2016 | 46.87% | 2016–2025 |
| First recorded | 48.58% | 1991 |
Over five years it is down 5.35 percentage points from 47.76% in 2020. Since 1991 it is down 6.17 percentage points from 48.58% in 1991.
In 2025, Georgia's vulnerable employment, total (% of total employment) (modeled ILO estimate) fell 0.51 percentage points on 2024 (from 42.92% to 42.41%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was −0.3 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.71 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 4.73 percentage points in 2000 and the biggest yearly fall was 3.66 percentage points in 2023. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is downward, about 0.94 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 87% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
Extending that straight line gives about 39.23% for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 0.86%, against 4.27% for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

In 2025, Georgia had the 61st highest value of the 182 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Vulnerable employment is contributing family workers and own-account workers as a percentage of total employment.
Limitations: Data are drawn from labor force surveys and household surveys, supplemented by official estimates and censuses for a small group of countries. Due to differences in definitions and coverage across countries, there are limitations for comparing data across countries and over time even within a country. Estimates of women in employment are not comparable internationally, reflecting that demographic, social, legal, and cultural trends and norms determine whether women's activities are regarded as economic.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
