Dear Dr. Rusudan Labadze ,
In all the country there is favoritism and nepotism , but to varying degrees .. Corruption has become universal.
Regards.
Each country would be different. In general, in countries where the academic system is state, there are different degrees of nepotism. It is a problem that is always present, and against which you have to fight to prevent its progress and permanence
Ángel Rivera Arrizabalaga Thanks for your answer!
Yes, unfortunately, there are different degrees if nepotism. Science is not as free from family favoritism as many can imagine.

In my opinion, mostly nothing in our life is free of nepotism; however, it is with different rates from place to other and from field to other.
No, nepotistic practices are rampant in academia also. Take a look at the following RG links and PDF attachments.

Dear Madam,
Please replace the word 'free' from your question, remove the '?' mark, and it will be the actual answer, at least in India.
Thanks.
Oh , you have to add 'full' in place of 'free' if your question to get the actual answer.
Thanks.
It always problem and not only in academic system, all world in this problem.
Nepotism is biggest barrier in country development. Now a days nepotism is not only thriving in government sector but also in private sector as well. Nation has just started its journey of development, many of citizens are first person in their entire generation who have got the education. Many of us are first in our family who is trying to make space in outer world by getting some opportunities for prosperity to break the vicious cycle of deprivation which our ancestors had to face throughout their life. But it is very frustrating for deserving person when he has to suffer from discrimination because of prevailing nepotism in every sphere of life. Before getting into corporate world I had the preception that nepotism happens only in government departments but after seeing this in corporates, my hopes have been shattered.
Is academic system free of the nepotism?
Personally I think any system involves human beings for long run can't free from nepotism - just like political system, economical system etc.
The phenomenon of nepotism is a global phenomenon that most political (democratic, and authoritarian) regimes know together. Both in the North and in the South, and this is clearly observed in the field of academic education. Developing countries are characterized by this phenomenon as a distinct case compared to developed countries.
No single system is free of nepotism, academia has its fair share of nepotism!
Nepotism in the academic system is becoming more pronounced, and beneficiaries are taking greater advantage knowing fully well that the trend has become established. It's either you're family with the boss, or his church member, or his "gossip apparatus"
It's big NO. It will persist as long as we human beings exist. It is in the blood and is hard to change also. Not only in academics, it is present in every department.
It won't be wrong if i say Nepotism is Omnipresent'😒'. But in Academia it depends on the Academic leaders to preach it or delete it.
