During his working trip to Kostanay region, Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov visited factories, where meetings were held with the management and teams of enterprises. Prospects for the socio-economic development of the region, human resource development, and solving infrastructure problems were discussed. Attention was also paid to the issue of a single time zone. According to the speakers, the issue of introducing a single time zone had previously been raised by residents of Kostanay region, as the previous time did not correspond to natural time. Thus, the decision to switch to a single time zone has facilitated daily household processes. In this regard, the meeting participants supported a single time zone. Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov, in an interview with residents, drew attention to the fact that the positive effect of natural time on the health and well-being of citizens has been scientifically proven. In 2017, a group of American scientists was awarded the Nobel Prize for their study of human circadian rhythms, which confirmed that it is most beneficial for health to live in accordance with natural time. Based on this work and other scientific research, the Barcelona Declaration was adopted in 2022, signed by scientists and government officials from more than 80 countries. The Head of Government thanked the residents of Kostanay region and all Kazakhstanis for understanding and supporting this important decision."The decision was made on the basis of very in-depth scientific research that was conducted not only in Kazakhstan, but also abroad. In 2017, a group of American scientists was awarded the Nobel Prize for their research on human circadian rhythms. And in this study, scientists have proven that it is best and most beneficial for human health when they live in their natural time. Therefore, now the progressive countries of the world are striving to switch to the natural time zone. For Kazakhstan, the natural time zone is the one we currently live in, UTC+5. Earlier, you know, we were at a different time – UTC+6. At one time, the country was transferred to the belt, which is not natural for us. Now, on the contrary, we have brought time in line with the solar cycles. I understand that switching to a single time zone can be uncomfortable for someone. The body gradually gets used to it. This decision has been made. If there are any inconveniences in the regions, we need to work with infrastructure, lighting, and flexible working hours, which our labor legislation allows. We will continue to resolve all these issues," the Prime Minister stressed. During the meeting with the plant's staff, issues of labor conditions and other support measures were also raised on the eve of the upcoming Year of Working Professions announced by the Head of State.@KZgovernmentSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aktobe/press/news/details/905797
