The methodological basis for us was multivariate regression analysis using the EViews10 data analysis package program. The research was based on data from the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2011-2021. Based on a multifactorial analysis, five independent factors were selected, but in the course of the study, one factor was not influential, it was: the graduation of students from higher education organizations.
