Abstract: It is true that there is a reduction of gender imbalance in the Georgian labour market, but the challenges in this area are still serious. The aim of the research was to discuss the peculiarities of the Georgian labour market in terms of gender, identify its main problems, conduct quantitative analysis using statistical methods and draw relevant conclusions. Both general and statistical, specific: statistical observation, grouping and analysis methods were used in the research. Gender imbalances in the Georgian labour market are decreasing. In the conditions of increased unemployment and reduced economic activity, it is noteworthy that the employment rates of women are increasing. As women's employment increases, so do their wages, but its magnitude is still significantly lower than that of men. Employment imbalances are pronounced in the territorial context, the difference is more pronounced in cities than in rural areas.

Keywords: employment; labour market; Georgia.
