He examines the collapse of Mongolia's social service sector after Soviet Union subsidies were abolished in 1990. General unemployment and poverty have increased, especially in rural areas. To gage poverty, Odgaard looks at GDP estimates, household surveys, and opinion polls. For urban areas he examines wages, pensions, unemployment, number of orphans. For rural areas he examines household composition and income, and distribution of livestock. Health, education, the collapse of the welfare system, and rise of traditional networks of exchange and mutual assistant are also discussed.}, note = {Ole Odgaard}, note = {2/27/03 - not on shelf; Yale copy missing, 5/6/04 requested BD{\#}230218;copied 5/24/04; Pages: 34; ready for analysis 5/26/04; analysis completed 2/18/05; 34 text pages.}, note = {Includes bibliographical references}, isbn = {0700704183}, issn = {0142-6208}, url = {https://ehrafworldcultures.yale.edu/document?id=ah01-021}, language = {English} note = {Accessed on: 2022-06-26} }
