Some variation in the population is observed in recent years within the range of 0.32%, which is mainly due to the high level of migration and not the birth-death ratio changes (12.9 births and 10.8 deaths per 1 000 person in 2013). According to information provided by the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Accommodation and Refugees of Georgia, 272 954 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Abkhazia and South Ossetia were registered in Georgia in 2013.
