Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this chapter from the book 'Mongolia in Transition,'
Odgaard tries to assess the degree of poverty Mongolia has fallen into in the
post-socialist era. 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.
