Abstract

The aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the factors influencing
the development of entrepreneurial thinking among young people in Kazakhstan, with a particular

explores ways to minimize their negative effects and promote economic recovery.
Entrepreneurial thinking is considered a key factor that enhances the competitiveness of young people
in the labor market, as it fosters creativity, risk management skills, and problem-solving abilities. The
study analyzes both external and internal factors of entrepreneurship and substantiates their impact
on entrepreneurial actions and ways of thinking. Furthermore, the evolution of entrepreneurship
and its developmental directions are identified.
The research methods included surveys and statistical data analysis. Data on the consequences of
floods in the city of Kulsary and their impact on the entrepreneurial potential of young people were
analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods.
As a result of the study, key aspects of developing entrepreneurial thinking were highlighted, and
weaknesses in promoting entrepreneurship among young people were identified. A comparative
analysis of the experiences of other regions and countries in overcoming the consequences of natural
disasters is also presented. This study can serve as a scientific basis for improving measures aimed at
enhancing the entrepreneurial potential of young people in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
