The document was presented at a Government meeting by Deputy Prime Minister Serik Zhumangarin. Planned measures include raising the minimum wage to 110,000 tenge. Salaries for primary health care district service workers are also set to rise, with pay taking into account their length of service and workload.

Changes will also affect social support. Testing of new digital tools for assessing families' incomes and well-being is to be completed by the end of the year, to help more precisely identify who needs targeted aid. In education, the Government intends to develop mechanisms for early identification of children's special educational needs by the end of 2027.
