The line graph illustrates the dynamics of the Kazakh and other ethnic populations in Kazakhstan from 1926 to 2019. This essay will describe the changes in population trends over this period.
At the beginning of the period, the Kazakh population was smaller than that of other ethnic groups. However, the number of other ethnic groups rose sharply until 1970. Between 1970 and 1989, their population continued to grow but at a slower rate.
In contrast, the Kazakh population decreased until 1939 but then started to grow steadily from 1939 to 2019. In 2019, the number of Kazakhs reached its peak at 12.58 million. Meanwhile, the population of other ethnic groups gradually declined between 1989 and 2019, dropping from 9.99 million to 5.8 million.
Overall, the most significant growth in the Kazakh population occurred between 1989 and 2019. In contrast, the number of other ethnic groups peaked in 1989 and then declined steadily.
