Её последствия носят комплексный и многоуровневый характер: она подрывает институты государства, снижает доверие общества к власти, искажает распределение ресурсов и усиливает социальное неравенство. Это негативно сказывается как на качестве жизни отдельных граждан, так и на общем векторе национального развития.</p><p>Социально-экономические последствия коррупции проявляются на различных уровнях. На микроуровне коррупция способствует росту бедности и неравенства, снижает качество базовых государственных услуг, в частности, здравоохранения, образования. На макроуровне она ослабляет конкурентоспособность страны, препятствует внутренним и внешним инвестициям, сдерживает инновационное развитие и приводит к неэффективному использованию бюджетных средств.</p><p>В статье рассматривается многоплановое воздействие коррупции на общество и экономику с особым акцентом на Республику Казахстан. Несмотря на проводимые реформы и модернизационные усилия, коррупция продолжает оставаться серьёзным препятствием на пути укрепления институтов, повышения качества государственного управления и устойчивого экономического роста. Наследие советской административной системы и сложности перехода к рыночной экономике обусловили наличие структурных предпосылок для коррупционных практик. Эти черты характерны для большинства постсоветских стран, но в Казахстане они проявляются особенно отчётливо.</p><p>Коррупция сдерживает развитие инфраструктуры, ухудшает качество государственных услуг и углубляет социальное расслоение. В результате снижается доверие населения к государственным органам, ограничиваются что ограничивает долгосрочные перспективы развития. Работа направлена на анализ социально-экономических последствий коррупции в Казахстане, выявление факторов её устойчивости и оценку её влияния на прогресс государства. Результаты могут быть использованы для совершенствования антикоррупционной политики и построения более прозрачной системы управления.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Corruption remains one of the most critical challenges hindering socio-economic development worldwide. Its effects are complex and far-reaching, weakening state institutions, eroding public trust, distorting resource allocation, and exacerbating social inequality. This phenomenon negatively impacts both individual quality of life and the broader trajectory of national development.</p><p>The socio-economic consequences of corruption manifest at multiple levels. At the micro-level, it contributes to increased poverty and inequality, as well as the deterioration of essential public services such as healthcare and education. At the macro level, corruption undermines national competitiveness, reduces foreign and domestic investment, impedes innovation, and leads to the inefficient use of public funds.</p><p>This study examines the multifaceted impact of corruption on society and the economy, with a particular focus on the Republic of Kazakhstan. Despite ongoing reforms and modernization efforts, corruption remains a serious obstacle to strengthening institutions, improving governance, and achieving sustainable economic growth. The legacy of the Soviet administrative system and the complexities of transitioning to a market economy have created structural conditions that facilitate corrupt practices. These issues are common across post-Soviet states, but they are particularly evident in Kazakhstan.</p><p>In the Kazakhstani context, corruption hampers infrastructure development, diminishes the quality of public services, and reinforces social stratification. As a result, public confidence in government institutions is weakened, while long-term development prospects are curtailed. The inefficient allocation of state resources, limited innovation, and declining investment attractiveness collectively contribute to stagnation in living standards and reduced social mobility.</p><p>This research aims to analyze the socio-economic implications of corruption in Kazakhstan, identify key drivers behind its persistence, and assess its broader effects on national progress. The findings are intended to inform future anticorruption strategies and support the development of more transparent and accountable governance.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>коррупция</kwd><kwd>ущерб от коррупции</kwd><kwd>государственная служба</kwd><kwd>влияние коррупции на экономику</kwd><kwd>влияние коррупции на социальную сферу</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>corruption</kwd><kwd>damage of corruption</kwd><kwd>public service</kwd><kwd>impact of corruption on the economy</kwd><kwd>impact of corruption on the social sector</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Grigorieva Angela Alekseevna. 2023. “The Causes and Factors of the Spread of Corruption in the Modern World.” Current Research.
