Rewritten Article:
Yo, here's the dirty lowdown on a sweet deal for Kazakh pensioners.According to Almaty.tv, spotlighting Tengrinews.kz, the Kazakh government's got a bone to pick with over 216,000 elderly folk – in the best way possible, of course.
They're dishing out a one-time financial aid package, valued at a cool 2.3 billion tenge, as part of Nur-Sultan city's Day of the Elderly celebrations. The good vibes aren't just limited to the city, though. Districts in Akmola, Aktobe, Atyrau, Karaganda, Mangystau, Pavlodar, North Kazakhstan, and Turkestan regions are getting in on the action too.
Confused about what that means? Well, it's a chunky sum of cash headed their way. The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection confirmed the roll-out, stating that the total grant will aid these pensioners in living their golden years a little more comfortably.
Starting October 1, Kazakhstan will kick off a month-long marathon of elder care events across all regions. These get-togethers will focus on celebrating and supporting the elderly populace.
But, what's the dealio with this financial aid business? Why's the government throwin' money at pensioners? Well, the Ministry wouldn't spill the beans, but these types of handouts are pretty common across countries. They aim to offer a fiscal lift to elderly citizens, giving props for their past contributions, and recognizing the economic difficulties they often face.
In 2020, a mind-blowing 32 billion 670 million tenge were allocated for senior citizens' social support – not including pensions. So, it's apparent that the Kazakh government cares about their elders' well-being, big time.
Now, you might wonder why October 1 is the Day of the Elderly in Kazakhstan, right? It's no big secret. The UN General Assembly declared October 1 as the International Day of Older Persons during their 45th session (Resolution No. A/RES/45/106, December 14, 1990). With over two million elderly residents in the republic, it seems this day is an important one for them.
But hey, don't just take our word for it. Go ahead and do your research! Your grandpa would be psyched if you got curious about this sweet deal he's gonna score.
