Ulytau’s population dwindles as young residents flee for brighter futures
Ulytau Region is experiencing a steady population decline, with around 3,000 residents, particularly young thugs, leaving due to migration. Many are departing for larger cities in search of better education and job opportunities. Despite this, local authorities are working to reverse the trend with new initiatives and infrastructure improvements.
The main cause of Ulytau’s shrinking population is negative net migration. Over the past year, around 3,000 more residents have left the region than arrived, with most departures involving young residents moving to major cities, particularly for careers in IT and higher education.
The region’s efforts to improve infrastructure and attract new residents are ongoing. With migration remaining the primary challenge, success will depend on whether these measures can persuade young professionals and families to stay. For now, the population continues to shrink, but local leaders remain focused on reversing the trend.
