Political Leader Highlights Deficiencies in Social Welfare Policies
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev is currently on a working trip in the Akmolinsk region, but his focus remains on the social needs of Kazakhstan's citizens. In a recent address, he stressed the importance of social assistance being provided to those in dire need, rather than an unsustainable allocation of resources.
Tokayev highlighted the issue of migration, stating that 400,000 residents of Nur-Sultan are unaccounted for. This situation creates an imbalance, including in the economy. In the city of Nur-Sultan, 60% of the city budget is spent on social needs, with over 50% of this going to unaccounted-for residents.
The President emphasized the need to bring order to the area of social assistance and called for a clear and optimized approach. He stated the need for unifying the sizes of social payments for vulnerable categories in all regions of Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan is a social state and will never abandon social services, according to President Tokayev. The country provides more than 100 types of social assistance, aiming to support those who can work, their families, and their parents.
The akimat is forced to provide services to these unaccounted-for residents, which adds to the complexity of the issue. However, the President's focus on optimizing social assistance aims to balance the economy, as 400,000 unaccounted-for residents in Nur-Sultan is equivalent to an entire city not represented in any statistics.
During his address in the Zerendinsky district on September 16, President Tokayev also spoke about the harvesting campaign. He emphasized that social assistance from the state should be given to those in dire need, ensuring that resources are allocated effectively and efficiently.
In conclusion, President Tokayev's emphasis on optimizing social assistance is a step towards a more balanced economy in Kazakhstan. By ensuring that resources are allocated effectively, the government can support those who truly need it while maintaining a sustainable budget.
