In addition, in order to increase the availability of purchase and operation of ground spray equipment and UAVs (drones), agricultural producers and providers of chemical processing services will be reimbursed 25% of the cost of purchased equipment. For this purpose, appropriate changes were made to the rules of investment subsidies of the Ministry of Agriculture.Under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister-Minister of national economy Serik Zhumangarin, the government discussed information on preparations for the fight against locusts and preparations for spring field work.According to Vice Minister of Agriculture Yermek Kenzhekhanuly, in 2024, 247 units of equipment were used for chemical processing, and in 2025 this number will increase to 443 units. Of these, there are 46 agrodrons, which were purchased by the Ministry of Agriculture to the regional offices of RSE "phytosanitary". 7 studies were also taken from the UAV. "In Turkestan region in the spring of last year, based on the results of the project of pilot testing of centralized activities, including field spraying through agrodrons and the purchase, transportation, storage and processing of pesticides, the Ministry of Agriculture introduced the organization of phytosanitary measures in all regions on the principle of" one supplier – all works". This makes the business more attractive to participate in the purchase of these services and more responsible for the results. In addition, we have created favorable conditions for farmers and suppliers of chemical processing services by reimbursing 25% of the cost of agrodrons, ground ventilators and Rod sprayers," Yermek Kenzhekhanovich said.The meeting also considered the readiness of the regions for spring field work. Of the 100 billion tenge allocated as part of early financing, which began on November 29, 2024, 70 billion tenge was directed to 671 agricultural producers. The most actively used of these funds are the regions with grain crops: Akmola (15.4 billion tenge), Kostanay (14.9 billion tenge) and North Kazakhstan regions (14.5 billion tenge). And in the southern regions-Turkestan, Zhambyl and Zhetysu regions, in the regions where spring field work begins earlier, the amount of applications is only 10 billion tenge. According to preliminary data of the regions, the readiness of agricultural machinery for spring field work in the Republic is currently about 56%. The need for seeds for the 2024 harvest is 2.3 million tons, of which 99% is prepared.Following the meeting, Serik Zhumangarin instructed to revise the structure of arable land, in particular, to reduce the area of wheat sowing, increase oilseeds and other high-efficiency crops. He also noted the need to maximize the sowing areas of elite seeds of Kazakhstani selection, which showed the highest results in the 2024 harvest.Next Wednesday, Serik Zhumangarin plans to visit one of the southern regions to get acquainted with the preparations for spring field work and discuss the development of the real sector of the economy. Earlier it was reported that on December 30, 2024, the Deputy Prime Minister-Minister of national economy visited the Karaganda region and announced that the work of the department will be integrated with work in the regions.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/915628

Minister of Agriculture Aidarbek Saparov said at a government meeting that more than 300,000 producers are currently operating in the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan, which employ 1.1 million people, including 595,000 workers, or 55%.He noted that, taking into account the coefficient of nepotism, each specialist employed in the industry provides an average income of three people. Thus, agriculture directly or indirectly affects the financial well-being of 4 million people, making it one of the key sources of social stability."In order to involve the population in working professions, farmers have access to government-implemented incentive measures, along with other industries, such as subsidizing housing costs, salaries for young professionals, and the generational contract. The Ministry also provides various measures of state support through the Agrarian Credit Corporation, Kazagrofinance, and social and entrepreneurial corporations," said Aidarbek Saparov.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/914514

Minister of Agriculture Aidarbek Saparov noted at a Government meeting that in recent years modern agriculture has been modernized and has become more technologically advanced and highly productive. He noted that at the same time, the status of agricultural workers is also growing, which needs to be further improved by increasing wages and applying an increased coefficient to social benefits for rural residents. In addition, it is proposed to consider the possibility of increasing the standard of subsidizing housing construction in rural areas. The proposed measures will increase the prestige of agricultural working professions and consolidate people in rural areas. Modern agriculture, along with basic professional and technical knowledge, requires new skills in working with digital systems and high-tech equipment, including artificial intelligence."In order to improve the quality of personnel training, 9 professional standards will be developed and updated in 2025, as well as educational programs in agricultural training areas. This will make it possible to train specialists in modern professions, such as operators of machine milking, drones, grain processing and other areas related to the use of high technologies," added Aidarbek Saparov.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/914689

Minister of Labor and social protection of the population Svetlana Zhakupova spoke at a meeting of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan about a set of measures planned for 2025 in order to fulfill the instructions of the head of state to hold the Year of working professions.At the beginning of the speech, the minister noted that working professions remain the basis of the Kazakh labor market. 4.8 million people, or 52% of all working citizens, have vocational or technical education. This is about 2.3 million people, they work in the specialty of 2.2 thousand workers. The high demand for such specialists is confirmed by a large number of vacancies – over the past year it amounted to more than 270 thousand vacancies. Working personnel are more in demand in such areas as transport, trade, industry, agriculture."Our forecasts, developed on the basis of actuarial models, show that in the coming years the need for working personnel will only increase. In the next 6 years, it is planned that the total demand for personnel will be 1.6 million people, of which more than half will belong to workers with vocational education, of which about 400 thousand are working specialties. These include drivers of specialized equipment, plumbers, welders, workers of construction specialties and technical directions," Svetlana Zhakupova said.According to him, in order to effectively plan the training of personnel, including working professions, an innovative project navigator has been developed."The platform already makes it possible to predict the need for personnel, as well as synchronize the demands of the labor market with the training of specialists in vet organizations.Based on the indicators of job creation, the size of the wage fund, timely payment of wages and social contributions, we can evaluate the effectiveness of projects. To date, 755 investment projects with the creation of 150 thousand jobs are being monitored," Svetlana Zhakupova said.The minister noted that the analysis revealed a significant gap between the needs of the labor market in different regions and specific graduates of college students (vet). The largest gap is observed in the construction industry and industry. At the same time, there is an uneven distribution of personnel shortages by region.We have also completed integration with the information systems of the Ministry of Finance, and after receiving data from them, we will be able to synchronize the training of personnel with projects implemented at the expense of the state budget, – added The Head of the Ministry of Labor.To ensure the quality of Personnel Training, 1.6 thousand professional standards for working professions have been updated. On their basis, 87% of educational programs have been updated. Using the standard of the European Union countries, an electronic skills bank has been created, which includes more than 12 thousand skills."This year, another 100 professional standards are being developed and updated.The assessment of qualification recognition began on the basis of 4 independent centers. This year we plan to open 5 more such centers, including 2 according to international standards," Svetlana Zhakupova said.To choose a professional career and manage your own career trajectory, the Career Compass project is being implemented.At the request of employers, vocational training and on-the-job training are actively developing. This year, about 12 thousand people will take such courses.For the acquisition of practical skills by students, a functionality has been launched on the Electronic labor exchange that allows you to find a place for industrial practice. Today, 643 courses are available on the online training platform, 410 thousand people have been trained.According to the action plan for the year of working professions, it is planned to develop a Mentoring Institute, hold a job fair and train students and TVE students in job search and employment skills.The head of the Ministry of Labor also spoke about the measures implemented by the department together with social partners to strengthen the protection of the rights of employees.Improving the mechanisms for the Prevention of occupational injuries through digital monitoring in the field of Occupational Safety and health, the introduction of an integrated assessment of occupational risks with the assignment of a risk class to enterprises, as well as strengthening the requirements for training and testing the knowledge of those responsible for Occupational Safety and health and specialized organizations."We also plan to consider the issue of strengthening administrative responsibility for violations of Occupational Safety and health," Svetlana Zhakupova added.To ensure transparency and legality of labor relations, it is planned to introduce mechanisms for declaring Labor Relations, which provide for the placement of the staffing table by employers, the transfer of procedures for concluding labor and collective agreements to electronic format.As part of cooperation with the International Labor Organization, a joint action plan will be implemented to promote the principles of decent labor, which provides for recommendations for improving legislation."Last year, we approved a methodology for setting the minimum wage, taking into account international standards. This year we plan to ratify the convention of the International Labor Organization No. 131 "on the establishment of the minimum wage with special consideration of developing countries".For the implementation of these measures, the ILO Project Office will be created, the directions of its work have already been determined," Svetlana Zhakupova said.In conclusion, the head of the ministry noted that in recent years the Ministry has created a developed system of support for citizens and business in the field of Labor. It integrates a wide range of online services and solves a wide range of tasks, from job search and ensuring safety at work to the development of professional skills, including working professions."One of the most important projects in the field of working professions is the digital map of the Enterprise. This will allow us to identify risks in enterprises in advance and implement preventive measures in real time. The model uses data on more than 60 indicators, such as financial, social and labor. This allows us to pay special attention to working professions associated with high risk.Combining the digital map of the enterprise with the digital map of the previously created Family opens up new opportunities. The employer can automatically identify risks, taking into account the social well-being of employees at the enterprise. For example, if a worker needs housing, his family has many children, or there is a member in it who has been granted the status of a person with a disability, the employer can find out this and provide appropriate support.For business, the digital map of the Enterprise is a tool for the practical implementation of the principles of social responsibility aimed at improving the well-being of employees," the minister concluded.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/enbek/press/news/details/914292

As part of the implementation of a pilot project on the correspondence format of medical and social expertise to establish a disability group in 2024, more than 96.9 thousand applications from all regions of Kazakhstan were considered, which accounted for 37.4% of the total number of people with disabilities who underwent an examination. To date, the examination in correspondence format is carried out according to 30 nosological forms.In 2023, over 76.4 thousand applications were considered in correspondence format, which is 30.4% of the total number of people with disabilities who passed the examination.As previously reported, at the sixth meeting of the National Council of Public Trust, the Head of State instructed to create the most favorable conditions for people with special needs, to exclude their going to authorities and paperwork, as well as contact between service providers and service recipients.In order to fulfill this assignment, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan, together with the Ministries of Health and Digital Development, Innovation and the Aerospace Industry, is piloting a project on the correspondence format of medical and social expertise (hereinafter - ITU) in all 20 regions of Kazakhstan.To receive disability group identification services, the applicant only needs to contact the polyclinic at the place of residence and undergo the necessary examination, the rest of the processes take place without his participation due to the integration of information systems.Transfer to an absentee examination:- removes administrative and bureaucratic barriers;- ensures transparency of ITU expert decisions;- provides an opportunity to receive disability services and determine social protection measures for persons with disabilities without leaving home;- eliminates direct contact of the service recipient with the service provider, thereby minimizing corruption risks.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/enbek/press/news/details/915018

Improving the well-being of the population is the main goal of state policy. However, what is an increase in well-being cannot be calculated by an increase in the amount of various social benefits and benefits. This is reflected in the stable and high-income employment of the population, a decrease in the number of families who have mastered and started a business necessary for the market, and receive targeted social assistance. In this direction, various programs are being implemented in our country every year, and productive work is being carried out.Today, measures of social protection of low-income citizens are being taken. For example, since 2025, new approaches to the appointment of targeted social assistance (TSA) will be introduced. That is, this year, families with an average per capita income below the poverty line will be provided with TSA aimed at providing comprehensive support to get citizens out of a difficult life situation.TSA provides for:- cash payment provided quarterly on an unconditional and conditional basis. Families without Able-Bodied Members receive unconditional assistance, and families with at least one able-bodied member who can get a job receive conditional assistance;- measures to promote employment. For the entire period of appointment of TSA, a social contract with the family is concluded. Termination of the contract is the basis for termination of payment of social assistance and refusal to appoint TSA for the next 6 months;- each of the children from low-income families who have reached the age of 1 to 6 years is provided with a monthly additional payment of 1.5 MCI (5,538 tenge).As of January 1, 2025, TSA in the amount of 5.4 billion tenge was assigned to 45.9 thousand people in 8.8 thousand families. 16.3 thousand children of preschool age of TSA recipients will receive an additional payment in the amount of 625.3 million tenge.In accordance with the instructions of the head of state, in 2019, the mechanism for issuing TSA was revised to ensure transparency, fairness, and labor incentives. As a result, in 2023, 12.7 thousand families or 65.9 thousand people will receive 6.3 billion rubles. TSA tenge was paid. In 2024, the number of TSA recipients amounted to 45.9 thousand people or 8.8 thousand families. They received млрд 5.4 billion from the state treasury. tenge was paid. From this we can see that the number of TSA recipients is decreasing every year.When studying TSA recipients in Shymkent by district, it was found that 31% of TSA recipients in Abay District, 20% in Al – Farabi district, 18.5% in Karatau District, 17% in Turanda and 13% in Enbekshi district.Depending on their social status, the majority of TSA recipients are children. Their share is 31 thousand people, that is, 67.5%. It was also found that the recipients of assistance at the time of application were employed citizens – 16.8%, people caring for children, people with disabilities, the elderly – 11.1%, students – 2.6%, unemployed – 0.12% and other categories of people – 0.9%.The main goal of the state in appointing TSA is to stimulate the population to work and promote the employment of able – bodied citizens, thereby bringing low-income families out of poverty.According to the Department of employment and social protection of the population of Shymkent, as a result of the measures taken to provide comprehensive support to low-income families in 2023, at the end of the same year, 19 thousand people from among the recipients of TSA came out of poverty. According to the results of 2024, the number of people out of poverty is 13.5 thousand people.For example, in 2024, 12,926 citizens from among the recipients of targeted social assistance are eligible for work, including 7,738 citizens who have a job when applying. In order to promote their permanent employment, 480 people took part in productive employment measures. "In particular, 308 citizens took part in permanent jobs, 48 citizens in public works, 18 specialists in" "youth practice"", 17 specialists in social jobs, 43 in promoting entrepreneurial initiatives, and 46 Citizens took part in professional development."In 2023, a digital family map (hereinafter referred to as the OTC) was launched, which, based on 84 parameters, determines the level of well – being of families in the country. Based on the data of the CCC, state bodies and akims will be able to analyze the situation in the regions for the development of socio-economic development programs.This year, according to the indicators of the level of social well-being in the CCCTo reduce the number of families classified in categories D and E, the KPIs of akims were introduced. Akims, together with interested state bodies, are taking measures to transfer families from crisis and tragic categories to the most favorable ones. As of December 19, 2024, the number of this contingent decreased by 17.9%.This year, from January 1, 2025, in accordance with the social code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the poverty line for the appointment of TSA will be determined from the median income of the population.The Ministry of Labor and social protection of the population, together with the Bureau of National Statistics, made a report on the quarterly median income according to the OTC data. According to its results, the poverty line is determined at the level of 35% of the median income, but not lower than the current level, that is, at 70% of the regional subsistence minimum.In 2025, digitalization of the activities of Precinct commissions will be carried out, which will draw conclusions about the need of families to provide TSA based on the study of the material situation. For these commissions, the FSM Social mobile application has been developed. His advantage:- determination of geolocation (the exact geographical location of the applicant);- simplification of the procedure for making a quick decision and drawing up an opinion;- to exclude the formal approach when conducting research and making decisions.The mobile application was tested in a pilot mode in the city of Kunaev, Almaty region. From January 2025, the FSM Social application is planned to be implemented in the Republic.From January 1, 2025, it is planned to launch a pilot project to test the mechanism for accounting for expenses of citizens applying for TSA with their consent.When assigning TSA, an algorithm is implemented to obtain data on income and expenses of citizens from second-tier banks.The applicant applies to the authorized body for obtaining TSA and submits an application for participation in the pilot project. After that, all adult persons in the applicant's family will be sent an sms from 1414 to their personal phone numbers, to which they must respond within one business day.The collection of information on the movement of funds is carried out only after receiving consent from the applicant and his family members in aggregate through the information systems of state bodies and second-tier banks. If the amount of expenditure transactions on bank accounts does not exceed the poverty line, then the TSA is assigned in accordance with the current legislation.It is expected that 24,721 new jobs will be created in Shymkent in 2025, and major changes will take place in the industrial and economic situation of the city, as well as in the social situation. Most importantly, there are citizens who are not afraid of work, who want to get "two hands – one shovel" on the basis of state programs, and there is confidence that the potential of the population will improve.First deputy akim of Shymkent K.
