© 2023 Global Journals Volume XXIII Issue III Version I 47 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2023 C Research of Social Inequality of the Population in the Regions of Kazakhstan X scaled = −8 ∗ − − + 9 , (2) where X n – the value of the current indicator; X max - the maximum value of the indicator; X mix - the minimum value of the indicator. Calculations of the indices and their scoring allow ranking the regions of Kazakhstan according to the level of social inequality of the population. One of the important issues that need to be addressed to reduce differences in the social development of regions is gender equality. Therefore, for a more complete assessment of the level of social inequality, the dynamics of wage differences between men and women in the regions of Kazakhstan is analyzed. The critical point in social inequality is the poverty of rural residents, whose number in Kazakhstan reaches 42%. Therefore, the authors focus on the analysis of dynamics and regional differences in household incomes of the city and village. The analysis of the totality of these indicators allows the authors to assess the level of social justice in the regions of Kazakhstan. c) Sources The information base of the study was made up of foreign and domestic literary sources, regulatory legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan, official statistical data: Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan, demographic statistics data: Standard of living statistics (https://stat.gov.kz/official/industry/64/ statistic/7), Social security statistics (https://stat.gov.kz/ official/industry/66/statistic/8); Health statistics (https:// stat.gov.kz/official/industry/63/statistic/8) ; Statistics of the housing stock of the Republic of Kazakhstan (https://stat.gov.kz/edition/publication/collection) . Data from the National Bank, the Ministry of Finance, and the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan were also used for calculations. IV. A nalysis of the D ynamics of S ocial I ndicators in the R egions of K azakhstan The object of the study to assess the differences in the levels and dynamics of social indicators were the regions of Kazakhstan - 14 regions and 3 cities of republican significance. The results of calculations of indicators of social development of the regions of Kazakhstan in 2021 are presented in Table 2. Based on the indicators of social development using the index method according to formulas (1) and (2), the authors carried out their point normalization and ranking of the regions of Kazakhstan. The ranking of regions made it possible to identify those in which the highest level of social inequality of the population is observed, requiring radical measures to reduce it. The results of the assessment of the level of social development and the rating of the regions are presented in Table 3. The analysis of social indicators clearly demonstrated the continuing inequality of the regions of Kazakhstan. A clear picture of the social inequality of the population in the regions of Kazakhstan is provided by the analysis of household incomes used for consumption in the context of urban and rural areas. The bottom line is that the higher the rate of use of income for consumption, the lower the ability of households to receive educational, medical and other services, the smaller the share of income used for the expansion or development of the economy. Calculations of real household incomes used for consumption in urban and rural areas by regions of the country, on average per capita and their comparative dynamics for 2016-2021. presented in table 4.
