Abstract:
The Central Asian Republic of Kasakstan is experiencing a difficult period of transition resulting in falling incomes, increasing unemployment, eroding social services, and weakening social assistance support, The changes are affecting both sexes; however, the social and economic costs of this transition have been especially difficult for women. Unemployment has and will most likely continue to weaken sectors which have traditionally offered women employment. The deterioration of the social service sector has directly impacted on women's health and on the health and education of their cheildern. Some groups of women (pensioners, singe women with many chidren, umemployed) depend on the social safety net, and declining public resoures have led to difficult circumstances for these vulnerable groups.
