Abstract: This study explores the gendered dimensions of labor migration from Georgia, focusing on the socioeconomic drivers, the challenges faced by female migrants, and the long - term impacts on family and community life. While remittances from labor migrants significantly contribute to household incomes, they come at a social and emotional cost, particularly for women who juggle caregiving and breadwinning responsibilities. The paper examines the reintegration difficulties returning female migrants encounter and proposes policy recommendations to address these issues. By highlighting the often - overlooked psychological and emotional costs, the study aims to inform more gender - sensitive policies that support female migrants both during and after their migration.
