In 2024, the number of Kazakhstani citizens living below the poverty line exceeded 1 million, according to official statistics. This is a record high for the past 13 years.
According to experts, hidden unemployment has significantly increased in Kazakhstan, with tens of thousands of residents essentially excluded from economic activity.
As Elmedia Kazakhstan journalist Ayan Sharipbayev notes, people in the country are increasingly tired of rising prices, the inattention of officials, corruption, and the lack of justice.
