Jobs in Kazakhstan

What sort of jobs do you think people did in the past?

How were they different from the jobs that people do today?

1500

In the past, many Kazakhs were nomads. They moved around with their animals. Other Kazakhs were farmers. They lived in villages in the countryside. It was hard work because there weren't any machines and the weather in winter was often very cold.

1850

There were lots of coal mines in places like Karaganda. Many people worked in the mines. It was difficult and dangerous. At first, there weren't any machines to help the workers. Later, the technology for mining improved and mining was safer and easier. However, the coal mines were dirty and very bad for the environment.

2000

now

Today, many people work in service jobs, for example, doctors, dentists and teachers. Technology is very important - lots of people work with computers or machines in offices or factories. Machines do the harder, more dangerous jobs that people did in the past.

2050

By 2050, Kazakhstan wants to become a 'green economy', with clean, safe energy and technology. It's also encouraging young people to choose different jobs, like looking after the environment or teaching workers how to be quicker and better at their jobs.
