Comparative analysis of the level of poverty by region: on the example of Kazakhstan

Abstract

Objective: To identify trends and features of the dynamics of absolute poverty indicators in the regions and their impact on economic security
Methods: In the course of the study, methods of mathematical– economic and system analysis were used to assess the level of poverty between the regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Results: The results of the study show that poverty indicators have a high level of differentiation between the regions of Kazakhstan. Over the past 10 years, the level of differentiation between regions has decreased, but it is still observed, especially at the absolute level of poverty. Regions with an average level of poverty in Kazakhstan are located mainly in the southern and northern regions.
Conclusions: In general, many factors influence the reduction and growth of the poverty level. As the result of the study showed, the emergence of the problem of poverty by region has its own characteristics. Therefore, it is important to use various effective tools and implement measures to combat poverty in each region
