Today, the program for the development of productive employment and mass entrepreneurship for 2017-2021 "Enbek" (hereinafter – the Program) is in effect to provide state measures to promote employment.
The Program provides state support measures in the following areas:
1) providing Participants with technical and vocational education and short-term professional training;
2) development of mass entrepreneurship;
3) development of the labor market through the promotion of employment and mobility of labor resources.
In total, 43.5 thousand people were employed under the Program in 2019, of which 42.8 thousand were permanently employed, or 98%.
The youth unemployment rate for the 1st quarter of 2020 in the Republic is 3.8%, in the region it is 5.3% or 6.3 thousand people.
Within the framework of the project "Zhas kasipker", events were held to actively involve young people in business activities.
Training in the basics of entrepreneurship in the framework of the "Bastau Business" project. Last year, about 3,781 people were sent for training. 1,780 people received grants and micro-loans to implement new business ideas. As a result, young people not only opened their own businesses, but also provided jobs, creating new jobs.
Also, the measures of state support for young people have been revised and two new tools have been developed: the projects "First workplace" and"contract of generations".
The implementation of the "First workplace" project will allow citizens who do not have work experience to get a job at the first workplace.
The project "contract of generations" provides for employment with subsequent replacement of the current employee who has reached retirement age.
Priority in employment under these projects is given to young people, able-bodied members of large and low-income families, and able-bodied disabled people.
