Situation Analysis of Children and Adolescents in Kazakhstan

Highlights

Situation Analysis of Children and Adolescents in Kazakhstan (2024) provides a comprehensive overview of the situation of children and adolescents across the country. The report highlights progress in health, education, child protection, and social policy, while also identifying persistent inequalities that prevent the most vulnerable groups, including children with disabilities and those living in rural areas, from fully enjoying their rights.

By applying a human rights–based and equity-focused approach, the report documents both achievements and continuing challenges, and offers evidence-based recommendations to strengthen national policies, programmes, and partnerships. Its findings will guide government planning and the design of UNICEF’s next country programme (2026–2030), supporting collective efforts to ensure that every child in Kazakhstan can survive, develop, and thrive.
