Poverty Reduction in Developing Countries via Infrastructure Development and Economic Growth: Mutual Impact in Kazakhstan

The level of development of the social sphere and infrastructure are indicators of the level of national development of an economy. Providing appropriate infrastructure in developing countries can play a vital role in poverty reduction. Infrastructure makes it possible to overcome "natural" causes of poverty such as remoteness from material and information resources, provides access to social services, and helps to increase the mobility and economic activities of the population.

The author examines two aspects of economic growth in Kazakhstan: the influence of economic growth and infrastructure development on poverty reduction and how economic growth increases the demand for infrastructure and social services development. The effectiveness of regional cooperation in Central Asia in infrastructure development and its maintenance is considered at the international level.
