The demographic situation in Georgia, like that of some other former Soviet republics (especially [[Estonia]] and [[Latvia]]), has been characterized by two prominent features since independence: decline in total population and significant "Georgianization" of the ethnic composition. The proportion of ethnic Georgians increased by full 10 percentage points between 1989 and 2002, rising from 73.7% to 83.7% of the population.<ref name=EGE>Richard H. Rowland, "National and regional population trends in Georgia, 1989–2002: Results from the 2002 census," ''Eurasian Geography and Economics'', 47(2): 221–242, 2006 (excluding Abkhazia and Tskhinvali Region).</ref> This occurred due to two migratory movements: Georgians living and working in other Soviet republics returned to their homeland, while other nationalities left Georgia.<ref name="jones">{{cite book| last=Jones| first=Stephen| title=Georgia: A Political History Since Independence| page=204 |publisher=I.B.

While Georgia was part of the [[Soviet Union]] the population grew steadily, rising from less than 4 million in the 1950s to a peak of 5.5 million in 1992 (including [[Abkhazia]] and [[South Ossetia|Tskhinvali Region]]).<ref>Statistical yearbooks of Georgian SSR, State Committee of Statistics, Tbilisi, various years {{in lang|ru}}.</ref> From 1992 the population began to decline sharply due to civil war and economic crisis driven mass migration throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s. By 2013, the population has stabilized around 3.7 million (excluding Abkhazia and Tskhinvali Region). The 2002 population census in Georgia revealed a net migration loss of more than one million persons, or 20% of the population, since the early 1990s, confirmed by other studies.{{refn|Page 14, Population Dynamics in Georgia (UNFPA)<ref name="gapanalysis">{{Cite web |url=https://geostat.ge/media/20624/3.-Population-Dynamics_ENGL-_print_F.pdf |title=Population Dynamics in Georgia – An Overview Based on the 2014 General Population Census Data |work=UNFPA, National Statistics Office of Georgia (Geostat) |date=2017-11-29 |access-date=2022-02-02 |language=en |archive-date=2021-11-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211105000729/https://geostat.ge/media/20624/3.-Population-Dynamics_ENGL-_print_F.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>}}<ref name=emigration>[http://www.fidh.org/IMG/pdf/ge412ang.pdf Ethnic minorities in Georgia] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090501012802/http://www.fidh.org/IMG/pdf/ge412ang.pdf |date=1 May 2009 }}.

===Data correction===
The 2014 census, executed in collaboration with the [[United Nations Population Fund]] (UNFPA), found a population gap of approximately 700,000 compared to the 2014 data from the National Statistical Office of Georgia, Geostat, which was cumulatively built on the 2002 census. Consecutive research estimated the 2002 census to be inflated by 8 to 9 percent,{{refn|name=b|Page 1–4, Population Dynamics in Georgia (UNFPA)<ref name="gapanalysis"/>}} which affected the annually updated population estimates in subsequent years. One explanation put forward by UNFPA is that families of emigrants continued to list them in 2002 as residents for fear of losing certain rights or benefits. Other factors that distorted the demographic data included a lack of quality in the registration system of migration, births, deaths and marriages. It was not until around 2010 that parts of the system became reliable again. With the support of the UNFPA, the demographic data of the period 1994–2014 has been retro-projected. The results of the project were presented and published in 2018.<ref name="retroprojection">{{Cite web |url=https://www.geostat.ge/en/single-archive/3199 |title=Retro-projection of main demographic indicators for the period 1994–2014 |work=National Statistics Office of Georgia (Geostat) |date=2018-05-18 |access-date=2022-02-02 |language=en |archive-date=2021-11-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211104202411/https://www.geostat.ge/en/single-archive/3199 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="gapanalysis"/> Based on this back-projection Geostat has corrected its data for these years, both in its annual publications starting from 2018, and its public access database.<ref name="geostatopendata" />

[[Georgians]] are the predominant ethnic group in Georgia, according to the 2014 census 86.83% of the population. The proportion in 2014 was much higher than in preceding censuses as in 2014 [[Abkhazia]] and [[South Ossetia|Tskhinvali Region]] were not under government control and therefore not included. As a result of this the proportion of [[Ossetians]] and [[Abkhazians]] was very low (0.39% and 0.02%, respectively).
