This analytical work, produced by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation Central Asia, looks at the world of young people in Kazakhstan, and is based on the findings of a sociological study conducted across the country in 2014. Our research methodology is based on that used in the Shell Youth Study, which is well-known in Europe, and adapted to the conditions and particularities of Kazakhstan. The survey centred on young people in Kazakhstan, and their main areas of interest, dreams and plans, values, opinions and conceptions, as well as on the issues and challenges they face in their socialisation. We hope that every reader will find something interesting and relevant in this report. This publication is intended for the general reader.
