The role of subsidies in the social well-being of the family

Despite the fact that the problems of the state subsidy system in Kazakhstan remain relevant today, it is of particular interest to study the impact of this instrument of state support on the social well-being of families. This study is devoted to assessing the effectiveness of various subsidy programs by analyzing their impact on improving the quality of family life. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to support the family in conditions of socio-economic instability. The purpose of the study is to comprehensively examine various subsidy programs operating in Kazakhstan in order to identify ways to improve housing conditions, improve living standards and reduce poverty of Kazakhstani families. A comprehensive approach to the analysis of the effectiveness of subsidy programs allowed for a more detailed comparative analysis of their impact on families with different social status. The results of the analysis showed that subsidy programs help to significantly improve the quality of family life by reducing poverty and improving housing conditions.  However, it was found that the ineffective implementation of existing subsidy programs in the country creates a number of obstacles for families, especially the most needy, to improve their social well-being.   The scientific and practical significance of the work lies in the identification of specific mechanisms through which subsidies contribute to the social well-being of families and the development of criteria for the accessibility and effectiveness of subsidies for families with different social status.  The value of the study is that the results obtained can be applied to the development of more effective and targeted subsidy programs, which will improve the social well-being of families in the country.
