Cause Of Poverty In Kazakhstan

Do you know that 22,000 children die each day because they do not have even the sip of water? (UNICEF, 2010). Kazakhstan’s poverty threshold is 302 tenge or 89 cents a day, while in Russia it currently stands at 4.23 dollars a day or in United States poverty threshold is 15 dollars. (YK-news, 2016) Also, according to the research of UNDP, the level of poverty in Kazakhstan declined comparing with previous years. Nevertheless, approximately half of the population refers to the class with low income. (UNDP Kazakhstan, 2014). In addition, poverty indicates not only the economic level of the country, but also the level of health due to the fact that poor people are more likely to have different kinds of disabilities. So what factors do
