Human Capital Formation under Conditions of Acute Resource Scarcity

Chapter 4 in Poverty and the Transition to a Market Economy in Mongolia, 1995, pp 63-76 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: 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.
