Georgia: women are in higher education 2.4 times as often as in 2010, yet fewer of them work
From 2010 to 2023 female students rose from 35 to 84 per 100 women of student age (students of any age count). The share of women aged 15+ who work or look for work fell from 60.4% to 56.3%. That share covers all women, students and retirees included.

More women study at universities while the share of women working or seeking work falls. The shares cover different ages and people; we do not track graduates.
One percentage scale relative to 2010: 0% is the starting value, +100% is a doubling, −50% is a halving. Lines show the yearly path; on a short screen, bars show the change to 2023. Equal distances mean equal relative changes. For shares, this is relative change, not percentage points. Gaps are not filled; original values and units are below.

Students of any age are divided by the number of women of typical student age, so the measure can exceed 100. Work covers women aged 15+ working or seeking work, an ILO estimate.
A question for this picture
What keeps more education from turning into more work, or is the make-up of women aged 15+ changing?
