Policy debates regarding a decent minimum wage in Georgia have attracted attention in recent years. Legislative initiatives have been brought forward by members of Georgia’s Parliament, Georgian Trade Unions, as well as by individual citizens. None of these initiatives have gained any traction. Nonetheless, three nationwide surveys conducted in 2020, 2021, and 2022 show that Georgians support minimum wage regulation. This report further assesses Georgians’ attitudes towards the minimum wage and perceptions of a decent minimum wage. The majority of Georgians support having a minimum wage. In the 2022 wave of the study, 69% of Georgians said that they either fully or partially support having a minimum wage in Georgia. Very few oppose the idea of a minimum wage, with approximately 16% of those surveyed fully or partially in opposition. The 2022 survey’s results are summarized in our new study.
