Abstract:
In the context of the post-industrial development of the world economy, the intensification of internationalization
and the globalization of international economic relations led to unprecedented structural changes in the
economic system of society. The transition of the development of society to a postindustrial stage requires a
radical change in the structure of the national economy. Here, first of all, we should pay attention to increasing
the share of the sectors of the processing industry and services in the structure of the national economy, as
well as their constant support. There are some macroeconomic indicators that characterize the effectiveness of
structural changes in the economy. The article analyzes some of these indicators, including changes in the
GDP growth rate, the structure of exports and imports, and the employment structure of the population. The
results of any structural changes in the economy should bring changes directly to the structure of GDP, exports
and imports, the balance of payments, and also to the employment structure of the economy. Structural
changes in the economy, carried out during the years of independence, are analyzed and estimates of these
changes are given. In conclusion, the need to carry out structural changes in the economy of Kazakhstan under
conditions of a decline in world prices for mineral resources is argued.
