«YOUTH – DRIVING FORCE OF EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND SOCIETY»

конкурентоспособность, год молодежи. 
 
The modern youth of Kazakhstan is a subject of history, the Kazakh society discovered 
it for itself as a social value of a special kind. Today's youth is an exceptional and important 
factor in change, the bearer of new ideas. 
The youth of Kazakhstan is a generation that grew with the country, together with 
independence. Over the years, with their selfless work, in peace and harmony, with faith in 
themselves and the country, with a dream of a better future for their children, the older 
generation of Kazakhstan people has built an independent, rapidly developing, competitive and 
respected state in the world. It has created a solid foundation for Kazakhstan boys and girls to 
be equal among the best anywhere in the world. 
The future of any country is determined by the young generation, and in most states, 
youth policy is the main direction of investment, because it is crucial in creating a sustainable 
society in the future. 
Innovation is an implemented novelty that provides a qualitative increase in the 
efficiency of processes or products demanded by the market. The concept of innovation first 
appeared in scientific research of the XIX century. The concept of “innovation” received a new 
life at the beginning of the 20th century in the scientific works of the Austrian economist J. 
Schumpeter as a result of the analysis of “innovative combinations”, changes in the 
development of economic systems. 
The issue of the development of science is of great importance from the point of view 
of the competitiveness of the state and the construction of a knowledge economy. The human 
resources of science are being strengthened. An increase in the number of Kazakhstan youth in 
science is noted. Significant incentives for young scientists were state awards, personalized 
awards of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, state scientific 
scholarships. These may include: state scientific scholarship for talented young scientists and 
scholarships: scholarship for young scientists named after M. Auezov, scholarship for young 
scientists named after D.Kunaev. In addition, there is the annual state youth award “Daryn”, 
which provides for the category “Science” in order to support young scientists. Comprehensive 
support for youth is also provided by the Foundation of the First President of the Republic of 
Kazakhstan - the Leader of the Nation. These are annual: 
- Prizes for the best research in the field of science and technology 
- travel grants for participation in a scientific conference or scientific internship 
- research grants 
- competition "Scientists of the future" 
- competition "The Best Council of Young Scientists" 
- tournament "Science Slam" 
- Interdisciplinary summer school for young Kazakhstan scientists "Science school 
Kaskasu". 
In conditions of serious global competition, the determining factor in economic 
development is the innovation process, its speed, depth, volume. Today, Kazakhstan youth has 
significantly expanded their options: what to devote to and how to arrange their lives. Young 
people must learn to skillfully and effectively use knowledge and technology in everyday life. 
Currently, young people tend to see their professional future not in budget organizations, 
but in commercial firms, foreign companies involved in wholesale, finance, consulting, and 
auditing. A scientific career is often associated with a low standard of living, poor social 
security, in general, “failure”, as opposed to, for example, working in a large foreign company. 
Young people ranked, among the most acute problems that impede the development of 
science, first of all, vital living conditions: the impossibility of acquiring housing and the low 
level of wages. Secondly, young scientists are worried about the decline in the prestige of 
science in the country, the lack of a strategy for its development. Thirdly, the organization and
