the Republic of Kazakhstan from 1999 to 2014. The article is based on statistical data from
1999 to 2014 with an emphasis on 1999, 2009 (the first and second censuses of independent
Kazakhstan) and 2004, 2014. The territorial analysis of the socio-geographical processes
includes such indicators as population size, infant mortality, and life expectancy, the level of
health care, education level, and provision of the housing of the population. The main
