Kazakh citizens are ending
the year with optimism. The Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic Studies (KazISS)
has revealed the results of a new sociological survey. More than 66 percent of
the 8,000 respondents across the country are ending 2024 with a positive
feeling. An important factor is that trust in President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev
and his work remains consistently high. Kazakh citizens support the country’s
strategic development course and the ongoing reforms. The study also showed
that the majority of citizens perceive their country as a unified nation based
on shared identity. Specifically, 46 percent of respondents identified
Kazakhstan’s passport as the primary unifying factor, while nearly 40 percent
emphasized common history and ancestry. In terms of core values, family is the
top priority for respondents, followed by work and friends. A significant
priority for the youth is free time. Experts note that these values will serve
as the foundation for further development and strengthening of society.
«I would like to note
that young people make up the majority of the optimistic respondents. The
results of sociological surveys show a positive assessment of the outgoing
year. Overall, their optimism is linked to the country’s well-being, job
availability, and key health indicators. These factors were used to assess
their positive outlook. The survey results indicate that most Kazakh citizens
are ending the year in a good mood, which applies to both themselves and their
families. Citizens are also optimistic about the coming year,» noted Saltanat
Yermakhanova, Head of the Public Opinion Monitoring Department at the KazISS.
