POLITICAL ACTIVITY OF THE KAZAKHSTANI YOUTH IN THE SOCIOLOGICAL DIMENSION

Kazakhstani youth takes the position of an observer rather than takes an active part in the political life of the country. This is evidenced by certain trends, namely the reduction in the proportion of young people among civil servants, the low level of formal participation in the activities of political parties and other organizations as their members, as well as the virtualization of political participation. These trends can be clearly seen from the results of surveys conducted as part of the 7th wave of the World Values Survey, as well as the Research сenter "Molodezh" and the Kazakhstan Institute for Social Development.
