The Department of Natural Sciences at the U. Sultangazin Pedagogical Institute held an open round-table discussion on the topic “Demographic Processes in Modern Kazakhstan,” which took place in both online and offline formats.
During the round-table discussion, participants discussed the demographic issues facing Northern Kazakhstan. Unfortunately, certain demographic indicators for the region are showing a negative trend, particularly in the Kostanay and North Kazakhstan regions. The discussion included proposals to improve socio-economic conditions as a factor influencing population growth.
