The CSIS Project on Prosperity and Development (PPD) would like to share four country case studies (https://www.csis.org/programs/project-prosperity-and-development/future-global-stability-world-work-developing-countrie-0?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=7fe6756dec-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-7fe6756dec-145367789) as part of a recent CSIS project on The Future of Global Stability: The World of Work in Developing Countries. This project also launched a microsite (https://www.csis.org/programs/project-us-leadership-development/project-prosperity-and-development/future-global?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=7fe6756dec-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-7fe6756dec-145367789) containing a short video, and a two-volume report (https://www.csis.org/programs/project-prosperity-and-development/future-global-stability-world-work-developing-countrie-1?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=7fe6756dec-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_13_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-7fe6756dec-145367789) .

CSIS prepared four country case studies in Brazil, India, Kazakhstan, and Nigeria, conducting a deep dive analysis of their labor markets. The case studies analyze the current world of work in each country and the trends looming on the horizon.

In the Spotlight: Kazakhstan

Despite the sustained economic growth and progress that Kazakhstan has made in the past 20 years, there are several challenges facing the labor market. While many jobs exist, they remain low-quality, poorly paid, and unproductive overall. The economy continues to depend heavily on the oil and gas sector, and the jobs being filled by Kazakhstanis are mostly low-skilled ones.

The biggest hurdle for Kazakhstan’s future labor market is the lacking education system and the potential resulting emigration. Kazakhstan has made great strides towards universal access and enrollment in education. The challenge is in improving the quality of education. Schools need more independence in adjusting curricula to meet the needs of twenty-first-century students and better resources to attract and retain quality instructors. Teaching remains one of the lowest-paid jobs in the country.
