Households with children in Kazakhstan: the model of reproduction and the dynamics of income
The article examines the indicators of household income in the context of the transformation of the family model in Kazakhstan in the direction of large numbers of children. The structure of income in the quintile groups of the population and the dynamics of the share of children in the first quintile group, which in the absence of an official indicator of child poverty can be an indicator for assessing the number of children living in low-income families, are estimated. The estimation of income differentiation within the group of households with children is carried out: the parameters of the distribution series by the indicator of income used for consumption; the ratio of income used for consumption to the subsistence minimum. The homogeneity and asymmetry of the distribution series are estimated. To identify common and special characteristics, a comparison of the distribution series with similar characteristics of the distribution series for all households was carried out. The most significant substantive result is an increase in income inequality between low-income households (1-2 children) and large households (3 or more children), while maintaining a high proportion of children in the first quintile.
