The family is the smallest, yet most important unit of society. The Head of State, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, emphasized: “Every family is the foundation of the nation’s prosperity and well-being,” noting that the state will provide comprehensive support to the institution of the family.
A study conducted by the Institute of Social Development of Kazakhstan confirms this idea. For the majority of Kazakhstanis, the key values are love and respect within the family (88%), mutual understanding between spouses (86%), and trusting relationships between parents and children (85%). Health, rejection of harmful habits, and shared parental responsibility in raising children are also of great importance—this factor was supported by 82.7% of respondents.
At the same time, there are issues that cause public concern. These include safety in educational institutions, the quality of medical services, as well as children’s dependence on social networks and virtual games, and their growing interest in vaping and hookah smoking.
In this regard, the state pays special attention to strengthening the institution of the family. Systematic work in this area is carried out by the National Commission for Women Affairs, Family and Demographic Policy under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Commission’s main tasks are to foster a competitive nation, support the model of a prosperous family, and create conditions for raising an educated and morally responsible generation.
Overall, family well-being is measured not only by material wealth. At its core lie mutual respect, understanding, safety, and health—values upon which the country’s future is built.
