Allocated amount, KZT bn
Number of recipients, thousand people
thousand peoplePayment amount
No fixed amount is set: the subsidy is determined individually for each recipient.
Analysis of results
- Since 2014, mandatory pension contributions have been subsidised from the republican budget for recipients of social payments for loss of income due to childcare.
- The subsidy mechanism ensures continuous participation in the funded pension system for people temporarily not working due to childcare.
- Until 1 January 2023, the subsidy covered childcare until the child reached 1 year; from 1 January 2023, until 1.5 years.
- Extending the subsidy period broadened participation in the funded pension system and increased pension savings. The monthly budget subsidy is not fixed and not linked to base indicators (SM, MCI). It is calculated individually as the difference between the mandatory pension contributions calculated from the average monthly income used as the base for social contributions and the mandatory pension contributions withheld from the childcare social payment.

How the world determines who needs support
The global trend is a shift from the categorical principle to accounting for a family's actual need, determined using digital solutions
- According to ILO estimates, in 2023 more than half of the world's population – 52.4% – was for the first time covered by at least one social protection cash benefit; in 2015 coverage was 42.8%
- Coverage is unequal: 85.9% in high-income countries and only 9.7% in low-income ones
- Women are less covered by social protection than men: 50.1% for women versus 54.6% for men
