At the moment, it can be said that tolerance and greater tolerance towards minorities and vulnerable social groups is growing everywhere, especially among young people. However, the main experience of interaction with minorities that Kazakhstan has historically encountered is the coexistence of ethnic Kazakhs in the same territory with representatives of other nationalities.

In Europe or the USA, in combating discrimination against minorities, both at the legislative and social levels. Youth activism and youth participation in the life of society are observed in our country to a much kuwait cell phone number list lesser extent compared to Western countries. For example, in the Baltic countries , on average, a quarter of young people are actively interested in politics.

At the same time, only 11.4% of young Kazakhstanis show interest in the political life of the country, and 48% are not interested at all (1) . This is mostly due to three factors: the difference in cultural and social context, the unpreparedness of Kazakhstani youth for a more active civic position, and the insufficient number of opportunities for the implementation of youth activism at the moment.

On average, young people in the Baltic countries are much more active in their civic stance: the proportion of young Balts involved in party activities exceeds the proportion of young Kazakhstanis by 4 times. (2)

Many of the recent large-scale events in politics and everyday life (pandemic, January events) of Kazakhstanis have prepared the foundation for a new step towards greater involvement of young people in the life of our country. Thus, in the future, it is possible to expect the development of youth activism in Kazakhstan.
