In: Poverty and the Transition to a Market Economy in Mongolia

  • Sheila Smith

Abstract

Mongolia has an impressively well-developed human resource base, due to the priority given during the socialist period to health and education. In 1989, 96 per cent of the working population (aged 15 and above) were literate, and 7.5 per cent had higher education. The policy of promoting female education was manifested in many ways, with overall achievements in gender equality in education comparing favourably with many middle- and higher-income countries.
