
The number of employed population increases and unemployed
population falls in both absolute and relative terms. For 10
years, from 2001 to 2011, the employed population has
increased from 89 to 95%, while the number of unemployed
has fallen from 11 to 5%.

Characteristic feature of the employed population dynamics is
the growth of hired labor and the reduction of self-employed
people. From 2001 to 2011 the number of hired labor has
increased from 54% to 72%, the number of self-employed
people has fallen from 46 to 28%. EAP and employed
population structure corresponds to the average in Kazakhstan:
