Abstract

A significant increase in the birth rate in Kazakhstan at the beginning of the XXI century allows us to draw conclusions about the emerging trend of demographic explosion. In the period 2000-2020, there is an increase in the total coefficient and the total fertility rate of the population in cities and villages of the republic. The total fertility rate on average in Kazakhstan in 2020 was 3.13, having reached the highest value since 2000, and increased by 73%.
A special surge in the birth rate of the country's population has been observed since 2020. Most of the increase was provided by the fourth (fifth) in the order of births of children. It can be argued that today the growth of the birth rate in Kazakhstan mainly determines the generation of the 80s. The most effective among the measures to stimulate the birth rate is the introduction of a new monthly allowance for families with four or more children from January 2020.
The author of the article raises the question of the need to develop a comprehensive, regionally differentiated, long-term, supportive demographic program that includes several stages and sectors: the education system, construction, subsidies, mortgage lending. According to the author, the program of support for large families should include the solution of issues related to unemployment, the creation of new jobs.
The author concludes that the program to support large families, in general, the birth rate in Kazakhstan, should work ahead of schedule and be developed on the basis of competent scientific demographic forecasts.
