MIGRATION OF HUMAN CAPITAL IN ATYRAU REGION

While the inflow of human capital from abroad is considered a positive situation for the economy of a country or region, the outflow of human capital from the country can be considered as equivalent to a reduction in investment in the economy. Thus, the outflow of human capital means the outflow of capital from the economy of one country and its inclusion in the economy of another country.

The dynamics of the migration flow in Kazakhstan in recent years has been characterized by an increase in the number of highly educated emigrants and a decrease in the influx of highly educated immigrants who arrived in the country. It is noted that in 2022, the number of immigrants to the country has halved compared to the figures of the previous ten years.
