There is the need to create specialized sites the new generation, which combines the elements of innovative infrastructure. The role of such specialized zones can be IT clusters, as “growth poles” of the new generation, which aimed at transfer of advanced IT on the wide periphery of the country. Today, the successful functioning of the IT clusters; create a unique opportunity in the era of information revolution. The aim of this work is to determine the basic directions of the formation of IT clusters based on Kazakhstan s technological platforms. In this study tests two key theoretical assumptions: regions are effectively developed according to the model of poles of growth; regions in which impact of agglomeration effect that have the opportunity for the formation of clusters. In this study, we used two methodological approaches: method of identifying the concentration, which suggested the use of a modified index of concentration of Herfindahl - Hirschman Index (HHI); structured method, which suggested involves the study of the object through the development and construction of the structure. This paper contributes the basic directions of the formation of IT clusters based on Kazakhstan s technological platforms to increase competitiveness of regions of Kazakhstan.

Anel A. Kireyeva,Azimkhan A. SATYBALDIN 한국유통과학회 2019 The Journal of Asian Finance, Economics and Busine Vol.6 No.2

This study aims is to analyze of existing concepts of gender stereotypes and gender differences in wages, defining of gender pay gap determinants, and to evaluate the level of discrimination against women in Kazakhstan. This paper begins by reviewing trends in gender stereotypes and gender segregation during the past several decades. In this research, authors propose the methodological tools for presenting a standard form of evaluation of gender pay gap. The developed methodological tools will allow providing authentic and formal analysis on gender pay gap and identifying the main determinants of gender pay differences. Further, the obtained results showed the distribution of wage gap in Kazakhstan's regions and the Duncan's dissimilation index allows us to trace the dynamics of changes in the professional structure between men and women. According to the results, gender pay gap is narrowing with the reduction of the job level and discrimination is related to differences in human capital and education. Wages in the industrial sector are higher for men than for women, because men's professions are characterized by severe and unhealthy working conditions. In addition, employers prefer male managers, but if they take woman managers, they give them salary 3 times less.

The aim of this study is to examine the level of innovative process and to reveal the essence of the cluster approach and indicators of innovative development of regions. Keeping with the previous literature, the present study is determined by the novelty of the problem, concerning the formation clusters as mechanism of transfer of innovations from the center to the periphery, as well as large specifics of problems in our country in the framework of use of innovative potential. The study employs method of monitoring of innovative processes in regions; we use method of rating estimation of innovative competitiveness of the region, based on a complex of indicators characterizing the innovation potential of the region: innovative activity and innovative susceptibility. Based on this analysis we have proposed to create clusters in regions, which can play the role of translator’s innovations at the periphery of the country.
