A preliminary expert discussion of the substantive part of the National Report "Youth of Kazakhstan – 2022" took place at the site of the NRC "Youth".

During the meeting Elnur Beissenbayev noted that these days, during the period of important political changes, an updated, relevant youth agenda is needed and that specific figures reflecting the real situation of young people should be presented as well.

Zhanna Karimova proposed to resume the practice of forming a practical action plan based on the results of the National Report in order to effectively implement youth policy. She also noted that attention should be paid to the popularization of the National Report, including through the use of public sociology tools and effective feedback tools.

Following the discussion, the experts agreed that the National Report should become a document that will reflect the real needs of young people. They stressed that the importance of the report is to identify the priority needs of the younger generation, as well as key trends, interests and requests that should be taken into account when discussing youth policy.

It should be noted that NRC "Youth" has been publishing the National Report "Youth of Kazakhstan" annually since 2013. The report is a comprehensive analysis of the situation of Kazakhstani youth in the main spheres of their life.
