Modern pension system of Kazakhstan begins its countdown to the 1997, when the government of Kazakhstan has approved the Concept of reforming the pension system in the country and adopted the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On pensions in the Republic of Kazakhstan." Innovation is the creation of the foundations of a funded pension system for the phasing out of solidarity system.

At the end of the last century, the problem of pensions has become particularly acute. The reason for this was the transition from one side to the mechanisms of the market economy, on the other - the socio-demographic factors inherent in Kazakhstan in the 90s of the last century. The conditions to act in solidarity pension system the high rate of inflation and unemployment in the population, falling volumes of GDP, a sharp fiscal deficit and gave birth to the increase of pension arrears and the inability to provide even the minimum social guarantees. Thus, it becomes apparent instability of the distribution of the pension system based on solidarity between generations. On the problems associated with lack of funding required pension costs are layered demographic. Some of them were related to the deformation of the age structure of the population and accelerate the aging of the population by reducing fertility, with increased life expectancy in Kazakhstan.

Rising unemployment and the spread of informal and underemployment have led to negative shifts in the labor market, the consequence of which was the release of part of the population of the mandatory pension system, whose contributions have been the source for the financial basis of solidarity pension system. In order to reduce the projected increase in pension gain and excessive burden on the working population, preventing the deterioration of the living standards of both active and retired, to ensure trouble-free in the future payment of pensions by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan as an alternative way to solve this urgent problem was carried out reform of the pension system.

The basis of the pension reform was adopted by the Chilean model. The pension system in Chile has no distribution mechanism and is fully based on the accumulation of funds in individual accounts of employees and capital contributions. Anyone coming into the funded pension scheme, receives a personal account, which accumulated its pension contributions, the amount of which is set and fixed. These funds are accumulated and invested by private pension funds and the contributor reaches retirement age, they become the source of his pension benefits. In addition to the fundamentals of the Chilean model of Kazakhstan adopted and adapted to fit their particular experience of other countries, so is considered one of the most successful in the world / 1 /. Kazakhstan became the first country in the CIS, which in 1998 began the systematic transition to funded pension schemes on the principles of personal pension contributions. The main objective of the pension reform was to build financially sustainable and fair system that takes into account economic growth, commensurate with labor contribution pension through a personalized account of pension contributions. In addition, the funded pension system has been designed to solve a number of problems: alleviate social tensions, gradually release the budget from the burden of pension payments, promote the emergence of citizens to earn a lot of interest and legally. As a result, pension reform, the future pensions were to preserve and increase, and the economy receive another institutional investors - pension funds / 2 /.

2) The second stage (from 1 July 2009) Taxpayers engaged in all depositors (recipients), which has previously been awarded two or more contracts on pension provision with different SPF. At this stage, involving all accumulative pension funds and State center on payment of pensions SCPP. It made a kind of "collapse" of pension savings in one IPS investor in the fund, to which the depositor has a contract with a later date of conclusion.

3) And the third step (2012) will shift to services through electronic cards when the cardholder, ie the investor will be able to make choices fund, which he wants to entrust their savings and simultaneous translation savings through the electronic system maintenance. At the final stage, the NPC will move to a qualitatively new level when the investor based on his personal preferences, he will be able to choose their investment portfolio / 4 /.
