Labour market access

 
With Resolution No. 1673 of 25 December, 2012 "On establishing quotas for attracting foreign labour to work on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2013", the government introduced a foreign worker quota, set at 1.2 per cent of the economically-active population of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
 
Update
The quota was again reduced to 0.7 percent in 2014. Hence, this measure is no longer active.
