A state employment programme in Kazakhstan has helped citizens over the age of 50 find work, with results varying from region to region. The programme targets a group that often struggles to re-enter employment after losing a job. Older jobseekers under the scheme have been matched with vacancies in different lines of work. The largest number of placements was recorded in the Turkistan region, which led all other regions in the latest figures. Regional authorities are effectively being measured on how many of these citizens they manage to place in jobs. The strong showing of the Turkistan region stands out in the distribution of outcomes across the country.
