Abstract

International statistical norms are applied in Kazakhstan's social policy, but a number of indicators that give a multifaceted picture of poverty are not officially used. The purpose of the article is to evaluate the methods of measuring monetary poverty in Kazakhstan from the standpoint of international methodology to develop recommendations for their improvement. Households with an income below the subsistence minimum were the object of the study. The methodology of the study is based on economic and statistical methods of analyzing the dynamics and structure of the phenomenon, which is identified in world statistics as absolute monetary poverty. The Sen-Shorrocks-Thon index over the past 5 years has a growth tendency of all its constituent indicators (level, depth and sharpness). Its value in 2022, for the first time since 2013, is more than one. The increase in the depth of poverty by 2 times and the severity of poverty by 2.5 times during this period indicates an increase in the heterogeneity of the group with incomes below the subsistence minimum. There is a clear disparity between groups with different numbers of children in terms of the proportion of the population with incomes below the subsistence minimum. In the group of large families, the share of households with such an income is three times greater than in the whole population: 28.8% and 9.09%, respectively. To deepen the analysis of official statistics, it is recommended to calculate indicators of chronic and child poverty, since they are of fundamental importance for assessing the results of social policy. The authors are planning an empirical sociological study to assess these indicators for the totality of participants in the targeted social assistance program.FUNDING:This research is funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No. BR18574225).
