In recent years, inequality in the economic and social development of regions and population has increased in Kazakhstan. The purpose of this paper is to assess the level of differences between the regions of Kazakhstan in the field of social, economic, innovation, and infrastructural inclusion and offer recommendations for reducing regional inequality. The research hypothesis is that the high level of economic inequality of the regions determines the high level of differences in the field of social inclusion, inclusion in the field of infrastructure and innovation. The assessment of regional differences was carried out according to four groups of economic, social, innovative, and infrastructural indicators; private and integral indices of inclusive development of regions were calculated. The gaps between the highest and lowest index by groups were revealed: social inclusion – 3.37; economic inclusion – 7.45; infrastructure inclusion – 2.96; innovative inclusion – 6.67. A map of inclusive development of the regions of Kazakhstan is developed. Estimates showed that despite the large gap in the economic development of the regions, the gap in social and infrastructural development remained smaller. In cases where the gap between the maximum and minimum values of the index in the regions increased, more and more regions found themselves in the group with a low level of inclusive development. AcknowledgmentThis study is funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No. AP09259004 “Priorities and mechanisms of inclusive regional development of Kazakhstan in the context of overcoming the economic recession”).We would like to thank the anonymous reviewers and issue editors for their helpful comments.

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a methodology for comparative assessment of the economic potential of regions in the example of the regions of Kazakhstan. Based on the review of various approaches to the concept and structure of the economic potential (EP) of the region, the author's approach to the definition, content and methodology of assessment is proposed in the article. The authors have processed statistical material for all regions of Kazakhstan for the period from 2000 to 2021 (according to some indicators, the analyzed periods vary). As a method of EP analysis, the authors propose to use a multidimensional comparative analysis, which allows for obtaining a comprehensive rating assessment of the region by the level of economic potential. The authors analyzed the economic potential of all regions of Kazakhstan on the basis of selected criteria of socio-economic indicators averaged over the studied period of time. The authors examined in detail the positions of the country's regions on each component: investment, innovation, labor, industrial, social, and environmental potentials, as well as on the whole on the complex indicator of economic potential. According to the results of the rating assessment, Atyrau region, Almaty, and Astana, received the highest levels of economic potential, Mangistau and Almaty regions received low scores. The comparative analysis made it possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the regions of Kazakhstan to determine in which directions to develop and improve positions. The approach developed in the article to the comparative analysis of the economic potential of regions will allow classifying regions both by individual components of the EP and in general, to obtain a comprehensive assessment of the level of the EP.
