On June 30, the International Day of Parliamentarism, the Institute of Parliamentarism under the UDP of the Republic of Kazakhstan hosted a round table on "Constitutional economics as a condition for ensuring the socio-economic rights of citizens", dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The participants discussed how the principles of constitutional economics contribute to the realization of citizens' rights to work, education, social protection and entrepreneurship. Special attention was paid to the role of state institutions, the relationship between economic policy and constitutional guarantees, as well as the improvement of legislation.
