INFLUENCE OF DEMOGRAPHIC DYNAMICS ON GENDER EQUALITY IN THE LABOR MARKET OF KAZAKHSTAN

This article examines the impact of demographic changes on gender equality in the labor market of Kazakhstan. Special attention is given to factors such as population change, ageing of society and migration processes that affect the social and economic conditions for both men and women. Despite progress in closing the gender gap, problems such as the under-representation of women in leadership positions and rising unemployment among men continue to persist. To improve the situation, it is proposed that national programmes of support for women be strengthened, flexible working conditions developed, and equal access to vocational training provided.
