The Digital Family Map makes it possible to determine the socio-economic situation of households and families.
This information is used to provide state support measures proactively.
Today, the Digital Family Map contains information on 20.6 million citizens grouped into 6.2 million families.
The Digital Family Map has been in operation since 1 January 2023.
It creates a digital profile of a family, making it possible to determine its level of social well-being.
The family social well-being assessment was developed together with the United Nations Development Programme on the basis of international approaches.
Based on a comprehensive assessment, a family is assigned to one of five categories of social well-being:
A – high level of well-being;
B – prosperous level of well-being;
C – satisfactory level of well-being;
D – economically vulnerable level of well-being;
E – economically and socially vulnerable level of well-being.
The category is not determined by a single indicator.
A family is assessed against 59 indicators in 8 main areas.
These include:
• financial situation;
• assets;
• housing conditions;
• ownership of a car, including commercial vehicles;
• ownership of a land plot or a household farm;
• employment;
• loans, including overdue debt;
• business ownership, etc.
Thus, the final category is not determined solely by income, home ownership, a car or any other individual asset.
All the information characterising the family’s socio-economic situation is taken into account.
For example, a family falls into category A, with a high level of income, when the income per family member is 7 subsistence minimums or more, i.e. above 350,000 tenge.
This category also includes owning several homes with an area of 120 conventional m² or more per family member.
It also includes commercial real estate, owning a business (large, medium or small) and expensive luxury or premium cars.
The family’s composition and its level of social well-being are recalculated monthly, which keeps the assessment up to date.
Thus, the Digital Family Map is not a one-off assessment valid for a long period.
Data from state information systems are received automatically as they change.
If income decreases, property is sold, the family grows or other relevant circumstances change, the family’s socio-economic situation will be reassessed.
