Аннотация
The authors of the article will conduct a comparative analysis of the legislation and the economic situation for the creation of an affiliated company in three EAEU countries, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. The particularities of affiliation in the legislation of post-Soviet countries are considered. It is concluded that the differences in the use of this category are associated with the lack of specialized legal regulation of relations between interrelated legal entities.

Updating Kazakhstan's monetary poverty indicator system
Аннотация
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).

The smart city and the brain drain (on the example of Almaty)
Аннотация
Building a smart city requires a steady supply of smart people. The trends that have developed in the external migration of the population of the city of Almaty, which occupies a high ranking among the smart cities of Kazakhstan, are analyzed. The study covers more than twenty years (2000-2021). In order to identify the presence of a brain drain, its scope and directions, the analysis is carried out. It is conducted in three directions: by the level of education (higher and secondary vocational), by key specialties (architectural and construction, technical, economic and pedagogical), and by countries, depending on the indices of human development and global talent competitiveness. A comparative analysis of statistical data provided by the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international organizations is carried out. It is concluded that the current trends in the external migration of the population of Almaty cannot be considered favorable for the creation of a smart city. Thus, these trends need to be changed.
