STATE
POLICY IN YOUTH EMPLOYMENT IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN: PROBLEMS AND WAYS OF
THEIR SOLUTIONS
The modern economical and political situation in the
Republic of Kazakhstan demands effective, vigorous and talented professionals.
And, it is known that younger generation destined to become the holder of new
civil aspirations and new political quality. The modern youth feels the changes
in public moods and it is ready to perform political innovations, to inherit
and to transform the given public relations.
The contradictions arising during this process cause
wide range of youth problems. It is connected with the following factors:
firstly, the youth is the most mobile part of society where the improvement of
professional knowledge and abilities take places at a quick pace. Secondly, today
the younger generation of all countries of the world belongs to vulnerable
social groups. Economic instability especially influences over the situation
among young people: not all representatives of youth can find their own place
in market system. It is observed that the social status of largest part of
youth decreases and the commercialization in education system leads to the
decreasing of possibilities of access to education; this situation creates
favorable conditions for crime and deviant behavior, unemployment and a social
inequality. In the Republic of Kazakhstan the unemployment rate among youth in
the last two years decreased by 1,3% and the results of 2014 year made 6,9%.
These data are rather good and they can be compared with the results of some European
cities where the level of youth unemployment reaches 50% today. [1]
Today the youth is presented by the social and
demographic group allocated on the basis of set of age characteristics,
features of a social status and certain social and psychological qualities. It
is well known that the future of the country depends on application of abilities
and knowledge of youth. The youth is peculiar bridge between the present of the
state and its future and this owes to the reproductive (biological and social)
functions of the youth that is a because of its.
The special attention to youth problems was paid in
1965 when "The declaration on distribution among youth of ideals of the
peace, mutual respect and mutual understanding between the people" were
adopted by the General Assembly. And in 1985 which was declared the
international year of youth. “The guidelines for further planning and
implementation of the appropriate subsequent measures concerning youth:
participation, development, peace" was approved in the same year. And the
Lisbon declaration on youth policy and youth programs was approved on January
20, 2000. [2]
In many developed countries of the world (Germany,
Belgium, the Netherlands, Great Britain, France, Italy) the effective state
youth policy directed on involvement of public organizations and active
participation of the supreme bodies in the solution of problems of various
categories of youth is realized.
The youth problems couldn’t be solved without the
active state participation so the state youth policy is question of present
interest in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Much prominence is given to the new
concept of development of youth policy till 2020 approved by the Government of
the country and one of its top-priority tasks is the decreasing of unemployment
rate.
There are a large number of youth problems at the
present stage of development of humanity and the society constantly looks for
their solutions.
Firstly there is an acute staffing shortfall,
especially, young specialists, and roots of this problem are closely connected
with commercialization of an education system. So, according to data of the
Kazakhstan state agency of statistics, for the last 20 years the population of
the country grew by 10 percent, thus the growth of economically active
working-age population is equal to 1,8 %. Thus, the situation practically
didn’t change from 1991 year when we had only 8 million of working population
in our country. [3].
The solution of this problem lies in the German system
of dual professional technical formation, with which approximately half of
educational course young people should been trained in theory, and the second
part of their professional training should be carried out on the future work
place. After choosing the “dual” system, student continues to attend
educational institution two times a week, and three days he works in the study
rooms or directly in the production facility. Such
training system includes three or four years. The successful educated
people qualified on solicited specialty will be the guarantee of social
stability.
In the second place, the weak development of leisure
and the illiteracy of young people draws to the potential vulnerability of
youth medium, in view of the absence of enduring value among the young people,
and this ideological vacuum leads to the development of destructive sects.
Thus, for instance, at the extended session of anti-terrorist center with the
participation of the representatives of government, it was noted, that almost
80 % of young people recruited by the extremists in Kazakhstan proved to be
unemployed. [4]
There is a sharp need for the encouragement of the
civil activity of young generation, state must not only implicate young people
and youth organizations into the realization of all possible state programmes,
but also the state must increase the material-financial support given to youth.
As the recommendation I propose to guarantee the young
people of country, especially the representatives of poor families with
possibility to go in for sports through the special “sport coupons” delivering
that should be used as a payment for sport clubs; this approach will make it
possible to decrease the amount of meaningless pastime and to increase the
level of sport culture in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The republic and
regional events such as youth congresses, forums, meeting of leaders of
students youth, patriotic actions, competitions, games and debates should be
considered as the generally accepted tradition.
Thus, the participation of pupils, students, activists
and youth non-governmental organizations in the republican events will become
the unique leisure for young people and then it will lead to increasing of
youth interest to processes proceeding in the country.
Thirdly, the signs of youth degradation are becoming
clear. In these latter days companies encounter new type of specialists so
called “corporate slave” or “desk jockey”. Representatives of this social group
aren’t able to perform complicated intellectual tasks because they have low working
capacity. They catch the simple idea that the work is not essential for them
because they can find the position with high salary and then keep their hands
in their pockets. For example: in the last
year the competition to the position in the departments of state administration
comprised 312 candidates to official place. Everyone wants to be officials, but
not to work.
Fourthly, the shortage of dwelling for the young
people and unsatisfactory housing conditions for the young families. Every young family at the certain point
has to solve the problem of the acquisition of its own flat or house. But,
unfortunately, every young family cannot be able to buy the apartment. Solution
of this problem in the Republic of Kazakhstan is based on the realization of the
program “Affordable housing 2020” that makes it possible to lease apartment
with the subsequent ransom without the initial payment and on the decreased
interest rates. [5]
Fifthly, there are many problems that are connected
with employment assistance of the young people. The problems of job placement
of young people in the Republic of Kazakhstan are solved within the framework
of the programme “Employment -2020”, 60% of all participants that are comprised
by the programme are the representatives of youth. There are three important
tasks in rendering aid to young generation according to “The program of
employment 2020”. The first of them is to create
the effective system of instruction and assistance in job placement. The second
is to create the appropriate conditions for entrepreneurial development in the
villages. And the third is to increase of the level of labor resources
mobility, priority of job placement in the centers of the economic activity of
Kazakhstan. [6]
Comprehensive set of measures directed toward
employment assistance of young people, the professional training of unemployed
in accordance with the needs of the labor market, organization of social
activities and employment assistance of young people in the temporary work
sites is realized within the framework “Youth practice” in accordance with the
strategic plan of the Ministry of Public Health and social development of the
Republic of Kazakhstan. [7]
Last, but not less key problem - is the high level of
teenage unemployment, which always led to the disorders. And nobody knows where
and when they begin. There is a distinct connection between disorders, strikes,
national turbulence and the methods of rigid economy, and this is evident that
social instability depends on budgetary policy. Thus, for instance, recent agitations in Argentina in 2001 and
in Greece were caused by reduction of budget outlays and by raising of the
count of the unemployed the young people.
CHAOS Index is the sum of demonstrations, strikes and
other agitations in the country in the year. When the amount of expenditures in
the country increases, the number of negative agitations is equal to 1.4. But
if reduction of expenditures reaches 1% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), then a
quantity of events grows to 1,8. Tightening of austerity program leads to the
increasing of the number of agitations in the country. If the reduction of
expenditures reaches 5% of GDP and more, 3 or more negative
events take places. For example, the number of demonstrations sharply
grows, if the amount of reduction of expenditures exceeds 3% of GDP [8]
Today the austerity program leading to the increasing
of the unemployment level force young people take to the streets again, and
somewhere as in Greece the youth begin burn banks, stores and throw the bombs.
Consequently, it is worth noting the connection between austerity program and
the anarchy because the results can be extremely serious.
Nevertheless, the causes of the unemployment of young
people in the different countries are different; so the method of its
eradication must be chosen individually.
As the conclusion it would be desirable to note the
fact that in the Republic of Kazakhstan there is the tendency of successful
implementation of the state, branch and regional programmes directed toward the
young people. Among them we should note the programs of youth policy, patriotic
training of citizens, development of education system, development of physical
culture and sport, functioning and development of languages, housebuilding,
“Healthy life-style”, “Green country ” - the program of making country more
eco-friendly. All these methods are aimed on the patriotic upbringing of young
generation, inoculation of ideas of environmental friendliness, increasing of
the educational system level and employment assistance of the young people.

should remember that your personal success is the success of your parents, the
success of your relatives and close ones, the success of your families, the
success of all your compatriots, the success of our native land”. [9]
