Georgia vs. World
Three same-year indicators show where Georgia differs from the world in 2024: population change is lower than the global rate, fertility is below the global figure, and median age is older than the world benchmark.
| Indicator | Georgia | World | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual population change | 0% | +0.87% | 2024 |
| Total fertility rate | 1.8 | 2.25 | 2024 |
| Median age | 37 | 30.6 | 2024 |
Same-year comparability takes priority here. Growth, fertility and median age are all taken from the 2024 harmonized table for both Georgia and the world.

Sources & methodology
This profile uses United Nations World Population Prospects 2024 as the primary framework for globally comparable population, age, fertility and projection data. The World Bank is the primary source for the female population share. Some country values were accessed through secondary retrieval interfaces that republish or organize UN data; those interfaces are identified below as secondary and are not treated as the original statistical publishers.
