A meeting with employers on the employment of unemployed citizens, including persons with disabilities, was organized by the State Institution “Department of Employment and Social Programs of the City of Karaganda”.
The event was attended by representatives of the Municipal Public Institution “Center for Labor Mobility of the Karaganda Region”, deputies of the Karaganda City Maslikhat, business associations, the “Ten Qogam” Social Adaptation Center for Persons with Disabilities, public associations of persons with disabilities, as well as representatives of more than 50 enterprises and organizations of the city.
During the meeting, participants reviewed and discussed issues related to the employment of persons with disabilities, including employment through quota-based and subsidized jobs, the creation of special workplaces, measures to support entrepreneurial initiatives, and vocational training in specialties востребованных on the labor market.
In addition, explanations were provided regarding recent amendments to labor and employment legislation.
Following the meeting, participants emphasized the importance of dialogue between employment authorities and employers on issues related to the employment of unemployed citizens.
This practice will continue throughout the current year.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan is constantly working to improve the social protection system for persons with disabilities.
The main goal is to improve the quality, accessibility and effectiveness of rehabilitation, with a focus on real human needs.
In April of this year, changes were made to the order - the Methodology for determining the guaranteed amount provided as compensation for the cost of rehabilitation equipment provided to persons with disabilities through the Social Services Portal was revised.
Previously, the commission determined the guaranteed amount based on three sources of information on the average price for the previous financial year – based on data from the social services portal, public procurement of goods, and commercial offers from potential suppliers.
In the new Methodology, the guaranteed amount will be calculated taking into account the data of the social services portal and the data of the electronic store.
In this regard, the social services portal is being integrated with the digital systems of the Ministry of Finance to obtain aggregated data from electronic trading platforms on the market value of goods.
In the future, it is planned to automatically generate a guaranteed amount based on the received real market data from digital platforms without manual intervention. This ensures transparency, objectivity and a unified approach.
The key expected effects will be:
- the introduction of full digitalization of the TSR value formation process,
- exclusion of the human factor and subjectivity,
- ensuring fair pricing;
- rational use of budget funds.
At the same time, it is important to emphasize that the state eliminates unreasonable expenses in order to provide high-quality medical supplies to citizens in need.
The released funds are directed to the development of the system, including the introduction of modern, technological and expensive rehabilitation tools that can improve the efficiency and speed of recovery.
Additionally, we would like to inform you that new approaches are being implemented through the National Scientific Center for the Development of Social Protection, a specialized platform where modern solutions in the field of social protection of the population are being developed and implemented.
A pilot TCP return mechanism is also being launched through the Scientific Center this year.
It applies only to those types of TCP that allow safe reuse, and does not apply to personal protective equipment (such as diapers, dentures, etc.).
This mechanism allows, for example, to promptly provide a person with TCP for the period of repair or in case of temporary need, for example, waiting for the delivery of TCP, without waiting for lengthy procedures.
At the same time, a social and technical expertise service is being introduced, which allows making decisions based on the actual state of the TSR and individual needs of a person, rather than formal deadlines.
This increases the validity of decisions and protects the interests of the recipients.
Thus, the introduction of the TCP refund mechanism has the expected effects.:
increasing the availability of TCP, reducing waiting times;
more efficient use of budget funds;
rational use of resources;
extending the service life of TCP;
formation of a monitoring system for the technical condition and effectiveness of TSR;
increasing the transparency and manageability of the TCP support system.
The key meaning of the changes is to increase accessibility, quality of rehabilitation, rationality and fairness of the social protection system.
