International ratings confirm that Kazakhstan is a leader in Central Asia in addressing the causes of gender inequality; however, there are still significant gender differences in key areas. In particular, gender discrimination in the labor market is complex: when hiring or dismissing, while restricting access to certain professions and positions, in matters of promotion and career growth, when remuneration is paid for performing the same work, not related to differences in labor efficiency. Discrimination is especially sensitive in relation to pregnant women and women with young children. Discrimination continues with access to social measures for avoiding poverty and in the pension system. Further progress requires more strategically significant and focused actions to identify and bridge the remaining factors of systemic discrimination and gender gaps. In the article, we show the insufficient attention of the legal science of Kazakhstan to the problems of regulation of equality. We present the author’s methodology for analyzing labor and social legislation from the perspective of regulating gender equality, consisting of several assessments: Kazakhstan’s fulfillment of international obligations; implementation of the principle of nondiscrimination in labor and social legislation; administrative and judicial mechanisms to protect against discrimination based on sex; and opportunities for implementing best foreign and international practices for the regulation of equality.

哈萨克斯坦是否有可能实现性别平等：关注就业和社会保障

国际评级证实，哈萨克斯坦在解决性别不平等的根源方面处于中亚领先地位；然而，在关键领域仍然存在显着的性别差异。尤其是劳动力市场中的性别歧视是复杂的：在招聘或解雇时，同时限制进入某些专业和职位，在晋升和职业发展方面，当为从事相同工作而支付报酬时，与劳动力差异无关效率。对孕妇和有小孩的妇女的歧视尤其敏感。歧视继续存在于获得避免贫困的社会措施和养老金制度中。进一步的进展需要更具战略意义和重点的行动，以确定和弥合系统性歧视和性别差距的其余因素。在文章中，我们展示了哈萨克斯坦法律科学对平等规制问题的不够重视。我们展示了作者从规范性别平等的角度分析劳动和社会立法的方法，包括几个评估：哈萨克斯坦履行国际义务；在劳动和社会立法中实施非歧视原则；防止基于性别的歧视的行政和司法机制；以及实施最佳外国和国际平等监管实践的机会。我们表明哈萨克斯坦的法律科学对平等监管问题的关注不够。我们展示了作者从规范性别平等的角度分析劳动和社会立法的方法，包括几个评估：哈萨克斯坦履行国际义务；在劳动和社会立法中实施非歧视原则；防止基于性别的歧视的行政和司法机制；以及实施最佳外国和国际平等监管实践的机会。我们表明哈萨克斯坦的法律科学对平等监管问题的关注不够。我们展示了作者从规范性别平等的角度分析劳动和社会立法的方法，包括几个评估：哈萨克斯坦履行国际义务；在劳动和社会立法中实施非歧视原则；防止基于性别的歧视的行政和司法机制；以及实施最佳外国和国际平等监管实践的机会。哈萨克斯坦履行国际义务；在劳动和社会立法中实施非歧视原则；防止基于性别的歧视的行政和司法机制；以及实施最佳外国和国际平等监管实践的机会。哈萨克斯坦履行国际义务；在劳动和社会立法中实施非歧视原则；防止基于性别的歧视的行政和司法机制；以及实施最佳外国和国际平等监管实践的机会。
