The aim of the research is to study the demand of job suppliers on the Georgian labor market including the assessment of compliance with the principles of labor equality.

One of the forms of labor discrimination - discrimination before employment - was selected as the object of research during the vacancy announcement. 3719 vacancy announcements published from October to December 2020 were studied and they were analyzed on the basis of pre-established criteria. The research was conducted by “HR-Hub” and “Stream” research group. Group Leader: Shalva Baghaturia, participants: Nato Sikmashvili, Maia Shavliashvili, Ekaterine Gulua. The paper discusses theoretical issues related to the topic, international experiences, as well as the research results and relevant recommendations.
