GENDER ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN INDICATORS OF THE LABOUR MARKET OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

Purpose of the research. Conduct a gender analysis of the main labour market indicators to identify and assess differences in labour opportunities, wages, employment levels and career development between men and women in the labour market. The study aims to identify factors that influence gender inequalities.

Methodology. The study applied methods of analysis and synthesis, statistical and comparative analysis to understand gender aspects in the labour market. A systematic review of scientific works in both domestic and foreign literature was conducted, focusing on digital innovations to eliminate gender inequalities. The analysis of policy programmes and statistics has deepened the understanding of the labour market in the context of gender equality.

Originality / research value of the research. The article analyses key indicators of the labor market by gender with an emphasis on influence of gender factors on human capital. The main problems of employment have been identified and a comparison with the results of advanced countries has been made, which allowed to assess their impact on gender equality.

Findings. A study of the labour market in the Republic of Kazakhstan (2019-2022) shows a steady increase in employment, mainly among men, but with an increase in the gender gap in 2022. The proportion of women in leadership positions is declining. The introduction of flexible forms of employment from 2023 can help reduce gender inequalities. The adoption of the Social Code and regional quotas emphasized the desire for social justice but required additional efforts to achieve full gender equality.
