DEVELOPMENT OF A MECHANISM FOR PROVIDING STATE FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL ASSISTANCE TO THE POPULATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the current state of the social protection system in the Republic of Kazakhstan and to develop measures to improve the level of social security and mechanisms for fi- nancing social protection. The results obtained during the study allow for the conclusion that over the years of independent development in the Republic of Kazakhstan a national model of social protection has been created and a number of important social programmes have been adopted aimed at reducing the level of poverty among the population. The social protection system is a key element of national governance, embodying the social values of any society. The social protection system has three main purposes: to guarantee all members of society access to basic goods and services, to promote active social and economic security, and to develop individual and social potential for poverty reduction and the sustainable development of society. Social protection supports people in handling risks and reducing inequality and also allows them to fulfil their full potential for personal growth and making a meaningful contribution to society throughout their lives.
