The article assesses the current state of the public-private partnership project management system in the Republic of Kazakhstan, in particular one of its components. In the paper, the authors analyzed the mechanism for evaluating socio-economic indicators of project effectiveness in the selection of potential investment projects planned for implementation through PPP. It was revealed that due to the modernization of the PPP mechanism through a change in the regulatory framework, there was an expansion of the set of alternatives to PPP projects, which did not remove, but on the contrary aggravated the problem of their selection. Based on this, the authors have developed an improved model for assessing the socio-economic efficiency of PPP projects by including blocks for assessing the comparative advantage of projects and involving experts in the field of PPP in planning and examination for the social and economic efficiency of these projects. This will increase the social and multiplicative effect of their implementation on society and related areas ensure a trend towards quality rather than quantity in the implementation of projects

PPP in Kazakhstan requires comprehensive consideration in order to improve legislative aspects and approach the forms of PPP common in Western countries, it is necessary to build new modern PPP approaches, transform the mechanism into an accessible and transparent source of project implementation for business and the public, make a strict distinction between public procurement, since today the tool has become a bypass of the public procurement procedure. It is necessary to remove all business risks from the state. It is necessary to avoid unreasonably provided extra benefits and over-marginality. All this will radically change and improve the current state of the PPP project management system in the Republic of Kazakhstan and will make it more attractive for implementation. The state plays a leading role in this process, and state regulation of the PPP project management system should serve as a driver for changes dictated by time and the need to transform this system.

The article considers the factors acting in the post-industrial economy both on the demand side for labor and on the supply side, which determined a sufficient number of options for deviation from the standard schedule, the most widespread of which include temporary employment, part-time employment and self-employment. If the first two types are options for non-standard employment for employees, the latter is allocated to a special employment status, which differs from the status of "employee" on a number of clear criteria. It is concluded that the burden on part-time workers has decreased, which is one of the signs of an impending crisis, when they reduce the number and length of working time for part-time workers, refusing their services in the first place. At the same time, the growth of overemployment again speaks of the desire of people to save their jobs through overtime work. According to the results of our study, we have developed proposals for enhancing the social protection of temporary and part-time workers.
