Social work development in Kazakhstan: A ladder to a healthier nation
Article Abstract:
The break up of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the following decade of transition to a market economy were challenging times for Kazakhstan as well as for other former Soviet countries for which various governmental and non-governmental institutions rendered services to vulnerable people. The development of social work in Kazakhstan presents a new perspective in the history of social welfare in that country that will facilitate the enhancement of social services and the improvement of the nation's well being.
