Life In Kazakhstan 2014

From a nation-wide sample of respondents the majority (90%) said they felt positive about life in Kazakhstan in general. In terms of perceptions of the country’s economy, 75% of the sample said they felt “very/fairly positive” whilst a further 83% saw Kazakhstan as a better place to live compared with ten years ago.

When asked to select descriptive words which had the strongest association with the country the top five most mentioned words were all positive. The top answer was “Hospitable” (47%) followed by “Stable” (39%), “Peaceful” (37%), “Improving” (36%) and “Successful” (32%).

These findings are consistent with an equally positive similar survey conducted by Ipsos in 2013.

Research was carried out using a Face-to-face pen & paper methodology across a nationally representative sample of 1,000 respondents aged 18 and over. The fieldwork was carried out between 12th September to 26th September 2014. Results were weighted to ensure the sample was representative for this profile.
