The Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic was a republic of the Soviet Union from 1936 to 1991. It was the last republic to secede from the Soviet Union and did so on 16 December 1991, four days after the Russian SFSR.[1]
Economy[edit | edit source]
In 1959, 33.8% of the Kazakh population worked in industry, construction, and transportation and 39.1% worked in agriculture. In 1970, the average monthly Kazakhstani wage was 979 rubles, lower than the average for the USSR, but it increased to match the union average by 1978.[2]

Kazakh literacy rates increased from 25.2% to 96.9% between 1926 and 1959. The number of students in all levels of education increased from 105,000 to 3,257,000 between 1914 and 1978. In 1970, there were 18.93 university students per 1,000 people in Kazakhstan, roughly the same as the all-union average.[2]
