Labour Ministry explains why families with the same number of children may need different state support

The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Population of Kazakhstan has explained why families with the same number of children may need different state support. According to the ministry, from 1 January 2027, the assignment of certain state benefits in Kazakhstan will take into account the level of a family's social well-being, not only its membership in a particular social category.

According to Kazinform, the change affects how eligibility for support is assessed. As a result, two families with the same number of children may receive different levels of state support depending on their social well-being.
