Mostly the white working-age citizens are leaving the republic for permanent residence in other countries.
By the beginning of December 2019, the population of Kazakhstan amounted to 18.4 million people, which is 1.3% more than a year earlier, Azattyq Rýhy reports with reference to ranking.kz .
58.2% of Kazakhstanis live in cities, 41.8%, respectively, in villages. The urban population reached 10.7 million people, an increase of 2.6% over the year. The rural population was 7.7 million people, which is 0.5% less than a year earlier.
One of the factors changing the size of the urban and rural population is internal and external migration.
The number of internal migrants within Kazakhstan over three quarters amounted to 825.9 thousand people. Another 34.2 thousand people left the country, and 8 thousand people arrived in Kazakhstan. The balance of external population migration following the results of three quarters is again negative: minus 26.2 thousand people (a year earlier - minus 22.2 thousand people).

The most mobile, as expected, are people of working age (over 16 years before possible to collect social security): there are 6.2 thousand among those who arrived in the Republic of Kazakhstan, 23.6 thousand among those who left for good, another 11.1 thousand who arrived and 9.1 thousand those who left were children and adolescents under 16; 0.7 thousand who arrived and 1.5 thousand who left are pensioners.
In the ethnic context, among the arrivals, the most are Kazakhs: 4.5 thousand people. Another 1.7 thousand arrivals belong to ethnicities of Russian Federation, and 217 people are Karakalpaks. The majority of people who left are white: Russians (25 thousand people), as well as Germans (2.4 thousand) and Ukrainians (2.3 thousand) left.
Ever been to Kazakhstan?
Most corrupt place on the planet.
All the little cops in their big hats demanding cash or else.
You even get hit in the airport lobby in Astana and Almaty.
Like to say it’s a leftover from the Soviet Union but it probably predated that.
Yep, I have spent quite some time there.
Karakalpaks and Republic of Karakalpakstan.
Black Hats and Black Hat Land?
Are they the original bad guys of Hollywood westerns fame?
Uhh, I don’t think that’s the author’s real name, LOL!
It fact it is a real Kazakh name. Should have had re-transcripted it manually to Askhat to better sound in English:)
That.
The convergence of Sino and Euro makes for a doe eyed look in various hues from tan to alabaster and leggy
A famous one of only 20 killed herself in Manhattan ten years ago...sad
I never traveled Eastern Europe or mid Asia in my day....everywhere else though
Oh yeah.
Eurasian beauties.
One of the many reasons I could never be a White Supremacist.
Too many pretty women out there.
In fact interracial people are rare there. Historically there were Slavic, German and Kazakh element. Slavs and Germans interacted okay but locals were more on a savage side and engaged in farming and ranching in the wild. They weren’t even visible in the cities until 1960s.
It is my best guess that the main export of Kazakhstan is Kazakhstanians. But it is just a guess. Lol!
Dfwgator would probably say potassium. :)
I would!
Nice ‘Fro.
My man looking like Dr. J. from the Sixers, circa 1974!
I know a Bulgarian expat. He told me that when the wall came down in 1989 the country’s population was 7 million.
A decade later a million of them had gone abroad.
Those look like the guys in that 70’s commercial who lived to be 150 by eating yogurt.
This is the problem with open borders, Productive Flight (some refer to it as ‘White Flight’), but basically the productive class flees, leaving your area only with the dregs, now instead of cities, it is happening to whole countries.
Not to defend The Berlin Wall, but it’s understandable why the East Germans felt they had to do it, they were losing their best people. Of course, the better approach is to actually make your country so that the best won’t want to leave.
It is more a problem in the East Europe with some countries experiencing depopulation as a result. As an Asian country Kazakhstan has a high birth rare. It is among few post-Soviet states which has a significant population growth despite emigration.
