However, TSA will be paid as a Uniform allowance instead of the current three types of social payments – TSA, child allowances, special state allowances. In this case, the size of the new TSA will be more than the total amount of the above three payments. Thus, TSA is not only cash, but a comprehensive measure of the way out of poverty. To ensure availability and optimization of business processes, and includes provision of Single window concept. This Single window will be the employment Center", - said Tamara Duissenova.The Minister elaborated on the forthcoming next year, amending the mechanism for the basic pension appointment. From 1 January 2018, in accordance with the instructions of the Head of the country, jointly or as they call themselves pensioners retirement pension will be increased by 8%. Basic pension, and other benefits will be increased by 6%. Thus, the minimum pension with the basic pension will be in the next year 49 019 tenge and the average pension 71 333 tenge. "At present the basic pension is assigned to persons who have reached retirement age are in the same size without regard to seniority and to participate in formation of pension savings. Next year the basic pension will be assigned depending on the length of participation in the pension system. This will take into account not only the period of earnings pension contributions to accumulative pension system since 1998, but also work experience prior to 1998," - said Tamara Duissenova. This approach restores justice in respect of persons receiving today, low pensions, having 30-40 years of work experience. For those with experience of more than 33 years, both before 1998 and after 1998, the basic pension will be increased twice compared to the current. If today is 14 thousand tenge, from 1 July 2018, this group of retirees will receive 28 thousand tenge. For each year worked over 10 years, the basic pension will increase by 2%. For example, the experience of 20 years – the basic pension will amount to 74% of the subsistence minimum (hereinafter, SM), if the person worked 30 years of age – basic pension – 94% of SM. This law establishes that, with the experience of 33 years or more the basic pension will be 100% of SM.For the formalization of activities of self-employed developed a draft policy Road map for 2018-2019. Given the designated tasks, Tamara Duissenova recommended to strengthen work on the ground to explain the policy of the Government in the social sphere.Recall from 1 January 2018, and introduced a range of measures aimed at upgrading the socio-labor sphere.

In Astana held a briefing with participation of Deputy Minister of labor and social protection Svetlana Zhakupova and Vice-Chairman of the Committee of labor, social protection and migration Anarkhan Dyusenova.According to Svetlana Zhakupova: "the Ministry is systematically working on quality of rendering special social services to improve the level of qualifications of social workers, development of infrastructure of social services.For the period 2009-2017, the Ministry of labor and social protection of population of Kazakhstan was developed and introduced standards for the provision of special social services to disabled children with psychoneurological diseases, in 2010 - for individuals with these types of diseases over the age of 18, in 2011 - for children with disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the elderly, in 2012 - for persons without a certain residence, in 2016 for victims of trafficking, 2017 for victims of domestic violence.Back in 2008, houses boarding schools for children with psychoneurological diseases were about 2.5 million children and 2 million children were waiting for admission to these homes.Currently, the database 110 stationary functioning of orphanages opened more than 50 day care centers, whose services are covered more than 5 thousand children and persons over 18 years. More than half increased the number of departments of social assistance at home. They serve today, about 43.7 per thousand elderly persons and persons with disabilities, and more than 13 thousand children with disabilities. About 3 thousand children with disabilities receive services in terms of equipment and at home in non-governmental organizations that have received a social order on providing special social services. The provision of social services outsourced to the private sector, developing a volunteer movement".Thanks to the work of the Ministry of labor and social security modified the funding scheme. Until 2009, the specialized agencies are funded not on the basis of standard costs and estimated costs. The amount of funding available, depending on the capabilities of the local budget, there were significant regional differences (the cost of services provided in nursing homes for persons with neuropsychiatric diseases ranged from 1 to 164 tenge in Mangistau region by 3 781 tenge in Astana). Today, funding is based on the types and scope of special social services and the number of recipients of services. This helped to overcome regional differences (with the exception of costs associated with the maintenance of buildings) and expanded the rights of special institutions in terms of rational planning and the targeted allocation of resources for the implementation of the commitments of the state social service of the populationStarting from 1 January 2016, 70% of the pensions and benefits of persons who are on full state support in nursing homes, is sent to cover the cost of maintaining them. It was found that pensions remaining patients, should not be less than minimum pension, and the disabled – not below the subsistence minimum, citizens have the choice of a social service organization and introduced the principle of co-financing costs.In the programme article, "looking to the future: the Modernization of public consciousness", MLSPP RK prepared a new Concept of development of system of social services. It is developed based on the results of previous transformations and quality, which is an example for us is the experience of developed countries with high human development index. The concept touches on 7 key areas of modernization, including issues of staffing. In order to improve recruitment, the Ministry plans to develop Professional standards for social workers. On the basis of professional standards will be revised educational standards for organizations that provide training and retraining of personnel.It is also planned to create a Unified database of social workers that will enable the service recipients to choose social workers, and increase competition among them. Our database will contain information on the qualifications of social workers, the types of services they provide, their level of provision and outcomes.In order to boost motivation will be spent improving the wages of workers due to changes in funding mechanism. Then there will be developed a system of performance indicators of professional activity of specialists of social sphere. Remuneration will depend on the assessment of skills of specialists, the level of professional competence and quality of performance of official duties.With the aim of digitalizing the planned creation of a Unified information system social and labor sphere within the sixth area, which will consist of 6 subsystems. In the System will contain full information on the service receiver, indicating the need and amount of assistance, the service providers, specifying requirements, evaluation of their work and their contracts, information about social workers, specifying the work experience and qualifications and costs of a social service organization with the main results.Unified information system of social services will be integrated with information systems that support the reference base, and also with the information systems of Central and local government bodies.The concept of further modernization of the system of social services we plan to discuss at the first Kazakhstan Forum of social workers, which will be held on September 22 in Astana.The purpose of the Forum is to summarize the experience in the field of social protection of the population and identify the key benchmarks of the industry, strengthening and recognition of the role and contribution of social workers in modern society.The Forum will gather around 600 participants, including international experts from the UK, Serbia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Russia, Georgia and other countries.
