Kazakhstan’s Digital Family Map will record residents’ income, spending, loans, property and housing conditions. Updated information must reach the map within one working day of a change in government systems (inbusiness.kz). The rules were approved by Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Labour and Social Protection. The order also sets requirements for data accuracy and a deadline of up to five working days to correct any errors identified.
What the Digital Family Map is for
The Digital Family Map is an analytical tool on the social and labour sector platform. It uses the data collected to classify families, their members and households by level of social well-being.
The rules explain how to maintain the tool: where information comes from, who is responsible for its quality and how quickly changes must be passed on. The document governs data sharing between government agencies.
What financial and housing information will be recorded
The list includes residents’ income and spending, credit obligations, employment, property and housing conditions. The system will also record information on education, healthcare, social protection and agriculture.
Income and loans are listed among the data for the Digital Family Map. The order covers both financial information and details about other aspects of residents’ living conditions.
Where family data will come from
Information will come from government agencies’ information systems and the “digital government” platform. Data will be transferred automatically and continuously.
Government agencies must update their systems promptly. Once the information is updated, a separate deadline begins for transferring it to the Digital Family Map.
When updated information will appear in the map
Updated data must arrive within one working day. This period starts when the information is changed in the relevant information system.
The rule therefore ties the transfer of data to a specific event: an update in the system supplying it. A different deadline applies to correcting errors that have been identified.
Who is responsible for data accuracy
Government agencies must ensure that the information they supply is complete and accurate. They must also update it promptly.
The requirements cover both the content of the information and its updating. Alongside automatic data sharing, government agencies are required to maintain the quality of the information supplied to the Digital Family Map.
How much time is allowed to correct errors
Any errors and discrepancies identified must be corrected within five working days. This is a separate requirement of the order, alongside the deadline for transferring updated information.
The rules set two deadlines:
- up to five working days to correct any errors and discrepancies identified;
- one working day after information is updated in the relevant system for it to reach the Digital Family Map.
These deadlines apply to different actions: correcting information and transferring data that has already been updated.
In simple terms
The Digital Family Map will automatically receive information from government systems. Government agencies are responsible for ensuring that the information they supply is complete, accurate and updated promptly.
When reading the rules, it helps to distinguish between two stages: correcting an identified error and getting the updated information into the map. Each has its own deadline.
