    Problems of Employment for physically disabled people in Astana
    (Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Public Policy, 2018-04-20) Abdisheva, Alina; Yerbolatova, Marzhan
    The problem of low employment rate of physically disabled people (PWDs) is present in Kazakhstan, particularly in Astana, and requires changes. Despite the existing national and international legislations, the level of employment of PWDs is low. Consequently, the problem requires considerable attention in order to analyze the existing barriers. The given policy analysis exercise (PAE) will try to address this issue through a primary research. Interviews with PWDs, state institutions, NGOs and telephone surveys with employers were conducted to understand the barriers in employment of PWDs in Astana. The lack of education was identified as the main barrier impeding employment of PWDs in Astana with other factors such as access to infrastructure and discrimination also contributing to the low employment rate. The PAE will conclude with the recommendations based on the analysis of legislation and the information obtained from above-mentioned stakeholders.
