Georgia’s population reached 3,729,600 as of January 1, 2018, a 0.1% y/y increase, state statistics office Geostat said.
The natural increase — the difference between the number of births and the number of deaths — in 2017 equalled 5,471 people. Meanwhile, Georgia saw net emigration of 2,212 people.
Women continue to live considerably longer than men, and make up a larger share of the population — 52% compared to 48%. Despite males outnumbering females at younger ages, by 65 this reverses, and in the 85+ age group the ratio is close to 70:30.
In 2017, life expectancy at birth was 73.5 years, but this rose to 77.8 years for women and was just 69.2 years for men.
