Встречу провел первый вице-министр Ербол Туякбаев.Стороны обсудили дальнейшее сотрудничество в сфере занятости женщин, социальной защиты, гендерного равенства, а также развития системы ухода.Казахстан на протяжении многих лет сотрудничает с организациями системы ООН в сфере семейной и гендерной политики, социальной защиты и расширения экономических возможностей женщин. В частности, в 2019–2024 годах Министерство совместно со Структурой «ООН-женщины» реализовало проект при поддержке Национальной комиссии по делам женщин и семейно-демографической политике при Президенте РК и в партнерстве с ЮНИСЕФ, ЮНФПА и ПРООН.В ходе встречи Ербол Туякбаев отметил, что сегодня в Казахстане заняты 4,5 млн женщин, в том числе 3,6 млн работают по найму. По итогам 2025 года женщины возглавляли более 48% субъектов малого и среднего предпринимательства, а их доля среди всех предпринимателей страны составила 54%.В Казахстане сформирована система мер, направленных на создание условий для сочетания семейных обязанностей и профессиональной реализации женщин. Она включает трудовые гарантии, сохранение рабочего места на период отпуска по уходу за ребенком, защиту от необоснованного увольнения, пособия и социальные выплаты, обучение и содействие занятости, поддержку предпринимательских инициатив, а также цифровые сервисы.Региональный директор Структуры «ООН-женщины» в Европе и Центральной Азии Белен Санс Луке положительно отметила предпринимаемые Казахстаном меры в данном направлении.«Мы видим, что Казахстан предпринимает важные шаги и вкладывает значительные усилия в развитие социальной политики, направленной на расширение возможностей женщин на рынке труда. В частности, создаются условия, позволяющие женщинам совмещать профессиональную деятельность и семейные обязанности. Также предпринимаются меры по сокращению разрыва в оплате труда между мужчинами и женщинами и обеспечению соблюдения трудовых прав. Все эти меры имеют большое значение, поскольку женщины Казахстана способны внести значительный вклад в развитие страны и ее экономики. Мы надеемся, что эта работа будет продолжена и женщины будут играть все более значимую роль в развитии Казахстана», - отметила Санс Луке Белен.Эти меры будут и далее совершенствоваться с учетом потребностей семей, ситуации на рынке труда и развития услуг по уходу за детьми. Соответствующая работа ведется с учетом задач, обозначенных Главой государства 19 сентября во время выступления в рамках республиканской экологической акции «Таза Қазақстан».Участники встречи также отметили важность дальнейшего развития условий для совмещения родительства и профессиональной деятельности. В их числе - развитие услуг по уходу за детьми, гибких форматов работы, возможностей для повышения квалификации и сохранение трудовых гарантий.Кроме того, рассмотрены подходы, предусмотренные Региональной повесткой действий в сфере ухода на 2026–2030 годы.По итогам встречи стороны подтвердили заинтересованность в дальнейшем сотрудничестве и обмене опытом в сфере занятости женщин, социальной защиты и гендерного равенства.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almobl-enbek/press/news/details/1297538?lang=ru

В Казахстане в рамках совершенствования подходов к оценке иммиграционного потенциала внедряются современные цифровые форматы тестирования, которые делают процедуру более доступной, удобной и прозрачной для участников.Одним из элементов онлайн-тестирования является прокторинг - комплекс технических и организационных мер, направленных на подтверждение личности участника и соблюдение установленных условий прохождения теста.Основная задача прокторинга - обеспечить достоверность результатов тестирования и равные условия для всех участников. Система позволяет подтвердить, что тестирование проходит именно зарегистрированный участник, а также контролировать соблюдение установленных правил.Перед началом тестирования проводится идентификация участника. Она позволяет сопоставить данные человека с информацией, указанной при регистрации, и подтвердить личность лица, проходящего тестирование. Это необходимо для обеспечения достоверности полученного результата.В ходе тестирования может осуществляться видеоконтроль. Он используется исключительно для контроля соблюдения установленных условий проведения теста и не связан с оценкой внешности участника или его личных качеств.Запись процесса тестирования является дополнительным инструментом обеспечения прозрачности процедуры. При необходимости она позволяет проверить соблюдение установленного порядка и подтвердить, что тестирование проходило в предусмотренных условиях.Таким образом, идентификация, видеоконтроль и запись направлены на то, чтобы каждый участник проходил тестирование в единых и понятных условиях, а результаты отражали знания и навыки непосредственно самого участника.Важно отметить, что прокторинг не влияет на количество набранных баллов и не определяет итоговую оценку. Его функция заключается исключительно в обеспечении корректного проведения тестирования и соблюдения установленных требований.Цифровой формат позволяет пройти тестирование дистанционно, без необходимости дополнительных поездок, что экономит время и снижает связанные с прохождением процедуры организационные затраты.Использование современных цифровых инструментов позволяет сделать процесс тестирования более удобным, прозрачным и объективным, одновременно обеспечивая единые условия для всех участников.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almobl-enbek/press/news/details/1297520?lang=ru
