After the collapse of the Soviet Union the economic crisis in the post-Soviet countries has radically changed the territorial mobility of population. The GDP in Georgia declined five times during the time of economic collapse; the extreme imbalance in the supply and demand for labor force at the labor market and disastrous deterioration of the living conditions produced large-scale migration waves. Over the decade after the break-up of the Soviet Union a fifth of the population moved abroad permanently. A significant part of them went abroad as labor emigrants. By our calculations, the share of those who left the country to make a living reached 8-10% of Georgia’s total population, and this contingent is exceptionally distinguished by high labor potential. In the presented article there is a critical assessment and generalization made from the current situation and the position about many researches on Georgia’s population territorial mobility conducted in the period of the recent twenty years under the author’s supervision and direct participation.
