BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 3. The World
Bank's Women, Business and the Law 2026 report ranked Georgia 76.68
on the legal frameworks index, Trend reports via the WB.
The World Bank highlights a shockingly large global
gap between laws promoting women's economic equality (average legal
frameworks score of 67) and their enforcement (average score of 53)
and supportive systems (average score of 47), meaning even strong
laws often fail to translate into real opportunities. No economy
has achieved full legal equality for women's economic
participation, with regions showing deep inequalities in
implementation.
Europe and Central Asia perform relatively well with
an average legal framework score of 80.62 and show the smallest
internal disparity (gap of 30.23 points between highest and lowest
scorers), though supportive frameworks and enforcement still lag
behind laws on the books.
According to the National Statistics Office of
Georgia, as of recent data, women accounted for about 52.5% of the
country’s population.
