Population – the number of people living in a given area at a given time. Current estimates at the beginning of the year are calculated based on the results of the last population census, to which the numbers of those born and those who arrived for permanent residence in this territory are added annually and the numbers of those who died and left for permanent residence from this territory are subtracted. Current estimates of the population over the past years are updated based on the results of the next census.
Calculations of the total population are made in Kazakhstan as a whole and its separate administrative-territorial units (urban settlements, urban areas, administrative districts). The calculations take into account the increase or decrease in the population of individual territories as a result of changes in their borders, as well as changes in the number of urban and rural populations as a result of administrative and territorial transformations.
The population is divided into urban and rural populations. Urban population – the population living in urban settlements. Urban settlements include cities of republican, regional and district significance, as well as settlements located on the territory of their administrative subordination. Rural population – the population living in rural areas. Localities that are not classified as urban are considered rural.
