In this regard, the necessary legislative changes to have been developed. To simplify the registration of the self-employed population, it is proposed to introduce a single cumulative payment. This payment will allow self-employed to participate in the systems of medical social insurance, as well as pensions," the head of state said.

Nazarbayev said that the adoption of these changes must be implemented before the end of this year.
