To identify and set compensation for employees who worked under harmful and/or other adverse working conditions, determine employer participation levels in production processes, as well as assess any required capital investments by employers to enhance working conditions.

This article presents an in-depth examination of Kazakhstan's existing pension system with respect to occupational risks faced by employees from various sectors of its economy.
