Ways of increasing the generosity of family-related leaves in Georgia
Get PDFSince January 2023, the upper threshold of the allowance for maternity, parental and adoption leaves has doubled from 1000 GEL to 2000 GEL. The Labour Code of Georgia does not offer paternity leave (taken by fathers), which is provided in EU countries. In public service, the allowance amounts to the full salary of the civil servant. Such a large gap between civil service and the rest of organizations/institutions is not a fair approach. To improve the health and socio-economic conditions of families with a child, it is essential to significantly increase the generosity of the allowance for family-related leaves (maternity, paternity and parental leave) in the private sector. The review of academic literature showed a positive relationship between the increase in maternity/parental leave length/remuneration and improvements in the mental and physical health of mother and child. The study found that the significant increase in maternity benefit rate, as well as an increase in parental benefit and an introduction of paternity leave/benefit, is financially feasible, given the recent economic growth rate in Georgia and its projected growth for the coming years
Factions of the Parliamentary Opposition in the Constituent Assembly of Georgia
No full textThe article examines the activities of the parliamentary factions of the opposition parties of the Socialist-Federalists, National-Democrats, and Socialist-Revolutionaries, formed in the constituent assembly of the supreme legislative body of the Democratic Republic of Georgia, based on factual material. The relationship of these factions with the government on such cardinal issues of state life as economic development, foreign policy, defense, and security is especially studied.
It is noted that neither the right nor the left opposition of the assembly considered themselves a real alternative to the government since they were deprived of full-fledged resources. As for the government of the Democratic Republic of Georgia and the social democratic majority of the assembly, they belatedly, but still sometimes, took into account the opinions of their critics and tried to reflect them both in legislation and in practice.

The Constituent Assembly of Georgia and the Formation of the New Memory Politics
No full textThe paper deals with the ongoing debates of June, 1919, held in the Constituent Assembly of Georgia, on the issue of reducing the number of public holidays in the country. Out of the 20 public holidays of those times, 16 were religious and 4 civil. The civil holidays were established by the parliament according to the decree of December 31, 1918. The following days were declared as the public holidays: January 1; the first day of the Russian Great Revolution – March 12; the day of proletarian internationalism – May 1; the day of declaration of independence of Georgia – May 26. During the discussions held in the Constituent Assembly of Georgia, the Social Democrats demanded for the abolition of 8 ecclesiastical public holidays in the calendar of the Democratic Republic of Georgia and their request was satisfied. The speech of Aleksandre Asatiani (the member of National Democratic Party) was hotly debated. He demanded for launching consultations with the Church on the issue of reducing the number of religious holidays, that was denied by the majority party – Social Democrats. The Social Democrats also denied the second initiative of Aleksandre Asatiani – on withdrawals of May 1 and March 12 from the list of the national public holidays. The socialist nature of the Constituent Assembly of Georgia became apparent on the issue of introducing the national public holidays.

Constituent Assembly on South-West Georgia
No full textThe legislative body of Georgia has repeatedly responded to the difficult political and economic situation and public mood in the Batumi district, whose materials are preserved in the archive and Georgian studies section of the National Library of Georgia.
On March 21, 1919, the fourth session of the Constituent Assembly was held, at which Evgeny Gegechkori vastly spoke about the severe economic crisis created in the world after the First World War, and how it affected Georgia as well. He emphasized the difficult situation created in the peripheries of Georgia, which was mainly inspired by foreign forces. According to Mr. Gegechkori, the solution to the problem was as follows: "The government should clearly state that clandestine reactionary elements in peripheries of Georgia are trying to overthrow the republic and are using external forces for this purpose. The government is paying special attention to Abkhazia and Muslim Georgia. Our goal is to ensure a peculiar development in these districts, organize a domestic management board with local forces, and deliberately connect to the motherland..."
The government will soon introduce national self-government into those Uezds that still lack this institution, and will hasten to organize the small national units which will form the basis of a democratic republic and strengthen the rule of the people."
The socialist-federalist faction also considered the introduction of national self-government in South-West Georgia as a kind of solution. At the fifth session of the Constituent Assembly (March 22, 1919), they declared that "great attention should be paid to ensuring the rights of national minorities. If we do not implement the declared self-government in Abkhazia and Muslim Georgia the matter will become much more difficult, and we will not be able to gather the scattered elements around us..."
According to the national democrats, the difficult situation created in South-West Georgia was not the fault of the world economic and political crisis but the fault of the ruling party, the social democrats. According to National-Democrat Spyridon Kedia: the government made mistake after mistake in the peripheries of Georgia. Sukhumi District, Batumi, and Zakatala Districts, also Borchalo, Akhalkalaki, and Akhaltsikhe Uezds, these corners are an obvious picture of our government's wrong policy.

Lecture of Varlam Cherkhezishvili on the Necessity of Georgia’s Entry into the League of Nations
No full textIn March, 1920, upon his return from the Western Europe, Varlam Cherkhezishvili delivered a cycle of lectures in Tbilisi on the League of Nations, which commenced on January 16, 1920. Varlam Cherkhezishvili stressed the importance of the League of Nations in the process of disarmament, imposing peace in the World and in the protection of the rights of workers; he particularly pointed out the common spirit of the socialist parties towards this organization. By that time, Georgia was not de jure recognized yet, thus Cherkhezishvili considered it as an absolute necessity to make the activities of the Society of the League of Nations more widespread in Georgia. This would pave the way for Georgia’s eventual membership into the League of Nations. Key words: Georgia, League of Nations, Varlam Cherkhezishvili
