Child Safety in Georgia
Georgia sits in the middle range for child safety. The indicator combines several risk layers that matter to families in everyday life: health, road danger, violence, political stability, security institutions and basic infrastructure.
What the indicator measures
The index uses a 0-to-100 point scale. It includes infant mortality, child poverty, road safety, homicide, political stability, police and security effectiveness, organised crime, healthcare quality, sanitation and tap-water safety.
Family-Relevant Context
Georgia benefits from comparatively low homicide risk, good tap-water safety and reasonably solid sanitation. Weaker areas include road safety, child poverty, regional healthcare gaps and uneven social protection.
Regional Differences
Road traffic remains especially relevant for families. Safe crossings, speed control, sidewalks and school routes are not equally developed everywhere. Conditions are better in parts of Tbilisi and other modernised urban areas, while parents need to assess local traffic conditions more carefully outside those zones.
How the Score Is Derived
The measured starting value is 59 points. Because the index itself uses a 0-to-100 point scale, this point value is used directly as the score. A higher value means lower risks and more resilient safety and service structures.
