Kazakhstan Implements Digital Family Card System for Enhanced Social Support Kazakhstan has launched a new digital family card system aimed at improving social support for families in need. The initiative, spearheaded by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, leverages technology to monitor family welfare and streamline aid distribution. According to a recent interview with Vice-Minister Viktoria Shelgai, the system tracks over 80 indicators to provide a comprehensive assessment of each family's situation.
