Since 2020, Kazakhstan, like the entire world community, has faced the coronavirus pandemic, which has exacerbated and aggravated the negative trends in the global economy. One of the most painful manifestations of the economic crisis is the rise in unemployment. It is known that its high level increases social tension and political instability in society, serves as a favorable factor for an increase in the number of crimes, and leads to a decrease in living standards.
Today, the key problems in the labor market in our country are:
In these conditions, an important direction for research is the study of the problems of youth employment, which is the future of our country. As the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N. A. Nazarbayev noted in his lecture at the L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, “... youth should be at the forefront of our reforms. It is the energy and initiative of young people, their aspiration for the future - in many ways will become the key to the success of our initiatives " [1] .
Young people traditionally belong to vulnerable groups of the population in the labor market due to a number of factors (lack of a certain level of qualifications, practical work experience, etc.). Today, the authorized bodies for the implementation of youth policy are working to improve the conditions for young people to enter society, into the system of economic relations. In all regions of the country there are youth resource centers, councils for youth affairs under akimats of all levels, committees for youth affairs, youth organizations.
Undoubtedly, in a crisis, solving the issue of preventing the growth of youth unemployment is a very difficult task. In order to effectively solve it, it becomes especially important to conduct research that allows you to get an objective picture of the situation related to youth employment in Nur-Sultan, which is a center of attraction for young people throughout the country, providing them with the opportunity to receive education, employment, scientific and creative implementation.
