Download or read book Poverty and the Transition to a Market Economy in Mongolia written by Keith Griffin and published by Springer. This book was released on 1995-07-13 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains an analysis of the economic problems encountered in Mongolia during the transition from a centrally planned to a market economy, when poverty increased dramatically, unemployment rose sharply, health and education indicators deteriorated, and the economic and social position of women declined. Yet there is considerable potential in Mongolia for a broadly based acceleration of output, particularly if priority is given to the nomadic livestock sector and to grass-roots development at the provincial level. The book contains many policy suggestions intended to promote growth and employment and to reduce poverty.

Download or read book Mongolia s Economic Transition and Development Challenges written by Enkhbayar Shagdar and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mongolia began transforming its economy from the centrally-planned command economy to a market-oriented one in 1990. Conventional neo-liberal policy packages were implemented almost simultaneously in a relatively short period of time, which is known as a "shock-therapy" transition. However, this study argues that the conventional neo-liberal policy package implemented in a rapid manner would not succeed in transforming a centrally-planned economy into a market-oriented one unless a properly sequenced and firmly coordinated policies along with an accurately thought out program for economic transition are readily in place. Similar to other transitional economies, Mongolia experienced almost all forms of neo-liberal policy syndrome and transitional difficulty along with the emergence of other social problems, such as unemployment, poverty and inequality. The sluggish economic growth has been insufficient to bring the country out of the setbacks experienced in the initial years of transition. After a passage of more than a decade, the economy was still based on the primary industries, with raw and semi-processed materials from the mining and agriculture dominating the exports.

Download or read book The Mongolian Economy written by F. I. Nixson and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mongolian and British economists present the first detailed analysis of the shock-therapy approach to economic transition that the remote Asian government adopted in 1990. They look at macroeconomic performance, the agriculture and industry sectors, the labor market, and the emerging financial sector from such perspectives as poverty, gender, privatization, and the environment. They find that policy makers have exacerbated the transition process by underestimating its complexity and by pursuing inappropriate, or at best overly optimistic, policy reforms. The treatment is revised and extended from a volume published in Mongolia in 1999. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Mongolia written by Pradumna Bickram Rana and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing disenchantment with the socialist economic model, the breakdown of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance bloc, and the advent of perestroika and glasnost in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, form the basis for Mongolia's decision to open its economy and implement a range of economic reforms. In its current effort towards structural change, Mongolia's government has adopted a comprehensive series of reforms aimed at dismantling the central planning system and establishing a market-based economy. The process started in 1986 and gained momentum with the 1990 election of a new government. Mongolia: A Centrally Planned Economy in Transition is based mainly on the findings of the Asian Development Bank's first economic mission to Mongolia. The study begins with a comprehensive review and analysis of Mongolia's economy over several decades. It then focuses on the economic reforms undertaken since the mid-1980s to transform the economy from a centrally planned system to a market-driven system. Detailed time series data on economic and social indicators are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication examines Mongolia’s recent economic development and outlines reforms that would help the country take advantage of its many opportunities. Mongolia is rich in natural resources and, although landlocked, is well-placed to boost trade with its two giant neighbors. The country needs to diversify its economy beyond mining, enhance economic stability, and increase employment. To maximize Mongolia’s potential the government can improve macroeconomic management, enhance the skill base, and provide hard and soft infrastructure to promote trade and efficient logistics. Governance and institutional reforms are also crucial. The government will need to continue to drive reforms so that they are well implemented and deliver the intended change.
Download or read book Growth and Recovery in Mongolia During Transition written by Mr. Kevin C. Cheng and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-11-01 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies Mongolia''s experience of growth and recovery during the first decade of its transition to a market-based system and compares it with those of other transition economies. Mongolia, like most other transition economies, experienced a painful, initial "transformational recession" before the economy began to recover, with efficiency gains the main source of growth during the early stages of transition. Mongolia''s transition process has been relatively smooth compared with other transition economies, probably reflecting the combined effects of some favorable initial conditions, coupled with the early adoption of appropriate adjustment policies and market-oriented reforms.
Download or read book Poverty in Transition and Transition in Poverty written by Yogesh Atal and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 1999-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty is an issue facing countries around the globe, yet it is a multi-dimensional phenomenon caused by a variety of factors, differing from context with no linear chain of cause and effect. The occurrence and persistence of poverty is influenced by an interrelated web of economic, social, psychological, cultural, and political factors. Focusing on countries-in-transition belonging to the former Soviet bloc where the existence of poverty was officially denied until the collapse of the Soviet Union, this volume examines the ways in which each country is dealing with its newly acknowledged and rapidly increasing poverty. The transition from socialism to democracy and market economies has proved more difficult and costly than anyone imagined. Scholars from the six countries examined here profile and evaluate current social policies and programs on poverty eradication and provide a comparative perspective that ensures that culturally specific solutions can be found in place of borrowed solutions from abroad - solutions which have thus far ignored the cultural factor and have thus failed to deliver.
