Affecting International Migration Trends through a Multi-Faceted Policy: Kazakhstan within Central Asia and the EAEU

This article assesses the implementation of migration policy in Kazakhstan over the past twenty years, focusing on the results attained through attempts to reverse Kazakhstan’s net negative migration trends. Our analysis traces the impact of socio-economic conditions on migration processes, using the example of the Central Asian and Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states including Kazakhstan. Consideration of further factors, such as ethnic repatriation, also points to the uphill battle that Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries face in maintaining their skilled workforce and encouraging high skilled migrants to come into the country. The results of the analysis reveal the causes of the low level of efficiency in the Republic of Kazakhstan’s migration policy. Undocumented workers continue to play a major role in industries outside of the highly skilled and household workers, yet they are often denied their labor and human rights.

Environmental Components and Mechanism of Public-Private Partnership in the Area of Risk Insurance in Crop

Crop risk insurance in Kazakhstan is an urgent problem for agricultural producers and insurers, since agriculture is in the zone of constant natural and economic risks, where the main share of risks is associated with weather events affecting the production of agricultural crops. In order to reduce natural risks in agriculture, to ensure the protection of the property interests of farmers in crop production from the consequences of adverse natural phenomena, measures are being taken by the state and business, however, there are problems that both agricultural producers and insurers face. Public-private partnership has established itself as a successful tool for interaction between business and the state, and now in Kazakhstan a lot of work is being done for the qualitative growth and development of the PPP mechanism, which requires more active interaction between the state and business in the field of crop production

Strategic Methods for Managing Risk Insurance in Crop Production

Doing any entrepreneurial activity takes place under conditions of risk and uncertainty. Agricultural production is distinguished by a special risk environment, since it manifests natural and climatic risks that are very dangerous and have the maximum effect on the final results of operations. At the same time, the economic damage caused by them is not only comparable to the scale of the financial results of commodity producers, but periodically exceeds them. Households also suffer losses as a result of the risks that are traditional for any commercial activity (production, marketing, financial): the size of these losses is large, difficult to estimate, and the consequences are disastrous. Therefore, the complex impact of agricultural risks obliges commodity producers to put stability and guaranteed result in the first place in the system of their interests

COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS OF NEW REMUNERATION PROJECT TOWARDS ACCOUNTABLE CIVIL SERVICE

The article considers main aspects of transparency and accountability of government initiatives on the example of the project of a new remuneration system for civil servants. Therefore, the author ana-lyzes the project’s cost effectiveness in the context of a three-year period and two pilot bodies in order to develop recommendations for improving transformation processes. A special formula was developed and calculations were made taking into account the method of cost-effectiveness analysis based on the factors of the conceptual model of the author’s dissertation research. Thus, in addition to the effects indicated in the media by the authorized body (the project developer) on the factor “Human capital”, the study also covers a wider range of aspects, namely, factors such as “Leadership”, “Strategy”, “Orga-nization”, “Resources” through the prism of “Citizen Centricity”. It was found that there were no signifi-cant positive changes in performance during the analyzed period. And in some areas of work (such as “Organization”, “Citizen Centricity”), there is a deterioration in results. Thus, the author summarizes the activities of local executive bodies as ineffective in relation to a two-fold increase in the wage fund. Tak-ing this into account and the identified “bottlenecks”, a number of recommendations for improving the activities, including legislative initiatives, are proposed. In general, the results of the study have direct practical significance, since they build a platform for scaling the analysis to the remaining pilot bodies in order to make timely changes during the piloting of the new remuneration system

OPTIMIZATION OF THE BUSINESS PROCESS FOR THE PROVISION OF LAND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION FACILITIES
