Violations of employment legislation concerning people with disabilities have been identified in the Almaty Region. According to the results of a prosecutorial inspection, 471 organizations were found not to be fully complying with legal requirements.

Under the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, employers with more than 50 employees are required to reserve between 2% and 4% of their jobs for people with disabilities.

However, in 2026, only 55 out of the 471 organizations had established the required employment quotas. As a result, employment opportunities for people with disabilities remained limited, despite the requirement to provide at least 963 jobs.

Following the prosecutor’s intervention, the identified violations were corrected, and the responsible officials were subjected to disciplinary action. As a result, the number of designated jobs for people with disabilities increased tenfold.

The main goal of these measures is to ensure equal employment opportunities, promote social inclusion, and support the economic independence of people with disabilities.
