Yes, that's what I was thinking about. In general, the mentality of Kazakhs is very different geographically. You may have heard about the three Kazakh clans ("zhuzes"), and that the north of Kazakhstan is more developed than the South.
But in general, the Kazakh government's policy is very encouraging of large families, much more successful than Russia, which constantly sounds the alarm on demographics. Most likely, this is a matter of mentality. From my childhood, I remember that for Kazakhs, having many children was a sign of wealth and prosperity (many children means you have money to raise them). By the way, this is their difference from Russian Kazakhs with a corresponding Russian mentality (I can say as a Russian Kazakh, the new generation does not strongly strive for large families), where more wealthy people prefer to have less children and personal freedom is more valuable.
That really is a feat if you got all the other stan countries. The surprising one to me was that Turkmenistan was the only stan country not on the list...
But it's citizens aren't as rich. In fact, Turkmens are usually incredibly poor. Turkmenistan is a dictatorship. So it would make sense to assume they might have more offspring.
Turkmens are incredibly poor. All the money is in the hands of the dictatorship, I do not think that their low birth rate is due to well-being, rather the opposite. The only prosperous country in Central Asia is Kazakhstan, other are although not Afghanistan but still very poor.
Pretty sure the colors are consistent between quizzes. Africa is purple, Europe is blue, Asia is red, North America is orange, South America is green, and Oceania is light blue
Because of explosive population growth in both countries in decades past (both countries approximately quadrupled in population over the course of the 20th century), there have been some social and government efforts to reduce population growth in more recent years. That process also occurred somewhat naturally, as both countries have urbanized significantly over the last few decades, and urban populations have fewer kids on average than rural populations.
