While official figures show an average salary of 498,982 KZT in 2024, interviews conducted by elitar.kz reveal a stark contrast between these statistics and the everyday realities faced by citizens. "With this pension, it's impossible to live in Almaty," said one elderly woman interviewed in the video, highlighting the difficulties faced by pensioners. A young man added, "The average salary is stated, but many people earn much less."
