Categories C, D and E are used when assessing a family's welfare level. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.

Welfare level is determined taking into account family income and expenses, living conditions and social status. Categories C, D and E are used to classify socio-economic groups of the population.

Category C — families with an average welfare level. Their income is sufficient to meet basic needs, but financial stability is limited.

Category D — low-income families. Such families face difficulties in meeting basic needs.

Category E — families with the lowest welfare level. They need social support.

According to experts, accurately determining the welfare level is important for planning social policy. This data allows for the development of state support measures.
