Abstract
The Covid-19 crisis has been a major challenge for almost every state. It completely changed the lives of people -
millions of people became ill and hundreds of thousands died. The study of the demographic structure of the
population is very relevant, which at the present stage is dictated not only by the peculiarities of the socio-economic
development of the country, but also by the demands of economic integration in the world economic space. At the
same time, it is very important to identify specific mechanisms of population growth. The demographic factor of the
population influences the formation of labor potential, largely determines the development and distribution of the
productive forces of the country. The paper discusses the demographic structure of the population, which on the one
hand is affected by a number of complex demographic processes, thus, in general, this or that real indicator of the
population is obtained, and on the other hand, influences the nature of growth. The paper presents a statistical analysis
of the events and processes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Georgia, which had an impact on the change of the
sex-age structure of the population. It is noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on
demographics although although it is not yet possible to fully assess them, some conclusions can already be drawn
