This paper documents both the extraordinary rise in mortality that accompanied economic deterioration in the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as the far more tentative recovery. Kazakhstan's multi-ethnic population also makes it possible to identify a large mortality disadvantage for those--especially working-age males--who are not of Kazakh ethnicity. There are also stark regional differences--mortality decline is underway in many areas with substantial economic recovery, while elsewhere there has been no discernable improvement.
本文记录了哈萨克斯坦共和国（前苏联加盟共和国）经济衰退期间死亡率的异常上升以及远为缓慢的复苏情况。哈萨克斯坦的多民族人口特征还使得我们能够识别出那些非哈萨克族裔人群（尤其是劳动年龄男性）在死亡率方面存在的巨大劣势。此外，地区差异也很明显——许多经济大幅复苏的地区死亡率正在下降，而在其他地区则没有明显改善。
