Цель исследования заключается в аналитическом обзоре передовых международных практик выявления гендерных дисбалансов в научно-исследовательской деятельности в целях выработки рекомендаций для Казахстана. В статье авторы рассматривают передовые зарубежные стратегии и подходы, включающие в себя постановку систему целей, политику и мониторинг программы поддержки (т.е. политику предпочтительного найма, профессиональное развитие и поощрение исследований по гендерному равенству). В исследовании проанализированы стратегические направления и передовые практики зарубежных стран на основе использования матрицы индикаторов STEM and ender Advancement, а также проведен библиографический анализ на базе программного продукта VosViewer. Библиографический анализ позволил выделить следующие кластерные сети, «Наука и исследования», «гендерное неравенство», и «трудоустройство и гендерная сегрегация». В исследовательской работе изучены передовые практики Швеции, Дании, Норвегии Исландии, Германии, Канады, Австралии, Кувейта, Египта и Алжира по борьбе с гендерным дисбалансом в научной среде. Среды выявленных практик менторские программы, выделения квот, улучшение финансирования исследований, а также внесение изменений в законодательные акты. В ходе анализа были выявлены передовые практики, которые предлагается адаптировать в дальнейшем к условиям Казахстана.

The research aims to conduct an analytical overview of advanced international practices in identifying gender imbalances in scientific research activities to develop recommendations for Kazakhstan. In the article, the authors examine advanced foreign strategies and approaches, including the establishment of a goal-setting system, policies, and monitoring support programs (i.e., preferential hiring policies, professional development, and incentives for gender equality research). The study analyzes the strategic directions and advanced practices of foreign countries based on the use of the STEM and Gender Advancement indicator matrix, as well as conducting a bibliographic analysis using the VosViewer soſtware. The bibliographic analysis identified the following cluster networks: “Science and Research,” “Gender Inequality,” and “Employment and Gender Segregation.” The research work investigates advanced practices from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Germany, Canada, Australia, Kuwait, Egypt, and Algeria in addressing gender imbalances in the scientific environment. Among the identified practices are mentoring programs, quota allocations, improved research funding, and legislative changes. During the analysis, advanced practices were identified for potential adaptation to Kazakhstan’s conditions in the future.
