Among other things President reminded that women account for about 40% of the country’s GDP. They make up 73% of all the country’s teaching staff and 87% of medical staff.
Kazakhstan ranked highly in a global World Economic Forum (WEF) gender equality study, according to the 2010 Global Gender Gap Report 2010.
Notably, Kazakhstan scored 41st among 134 nations, ahead of 14 European nations, for its inclusiveness of women in professional and government spheres.
