Labour market perspectives for the university graduates in Georgia

Summary/Abstract: Georgia represents a post-Soviet country with serious issues at the labour market. Many young university graduates in the country are struggling to secure a decent job that would make the ends meet for themselves and their families. This paper focuses on the two following issues: What are the main challenges, on which the current Georgian higher educational institutions respond while creating educational programs and defining the number of students, and what share has the labour market among them? What problems are seen by the employers regarding the competences of post-graduates of higher educational institutions? The paper tackles the job market perspectives and job creation in a post-Communist country in transition represented by Georgia and therefore provides an interesting analysis of the current shortcomings and suggests ways for improvement.
