The British Council’s ‘Next Generation’ research series aims to understand the needs, potential and aspirations of young people globally, and seeks to analyse the conditions that support them and allow them to reach their potential as fulfilled, productive and active citizens. The programme is part of the British Council’s commitment to exploring youth voice and choice, and the Next Generation reports look at young people’s views on a wide range of aspects impacting their lives and future.

Next Generation Kazakhstan is a research study which provides an understanding of young people’s perceptions, aspirations, priorities and key needs in Kazakhstan today. This will support the British Council’s ability to understand, develop and advocate youth-based interventions across the education and creative sectors and within policymaking circles with partners and stakeholders. The target age group for the research was 18–35 years old. The key themes of the research report are young people, their identity, values, education, skills, employment, local and global challenges and youth voice. There is also a focus on the role of digital, technology and social media in the lives of young Kazakhstanis.
