Abstract The Concept of Family and Gender Policy is a multisectoral policy document, which provides a comprehensive approach to integrating the principle of equality between women and men in policy documents in all areas and at all levels of decision-making and implementation. The state family policy is an integral part of social policy of Kazakhstan and represents a system of principles, assessments and measures of organizational, economic, legal, scientific, information and personnel support aimed at improving the conditions and quality of life of the family. Over the years of implementation of the gender strategy, positive trends have been achieved in the empowerment of men and women in marital and family relations. With a view to creating opportunities for reconciling family obligations with employment, labour legislation has enshrined provisions on the rights of parents to flexible forms of employment and parental leave. Norms, strengthening the specifics of regulating the work of women, pregnant women and women with a child (children), have also been reflected in the legislation. Full text Russian Website egov.kz
