Human Capital: The Health and Well-Being of the Population

Sheila Smith and Joyce Lannert

Chapter 5 in Poverty and the Transition to a Market Economy in Mongolia, 1995, pp 77-89 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Mongolia’s past emphasis on human capital formation was reflected in the priority given to investment in the health of her people. The health sector accounted for between 7.5 and 8.5 per cent of total government expenditure during the period 1980 to 1990, and for 6.7 per cent of GDP in 1990. During the socialist period, major advances in health care were achieved, particularly in the extension of effective health services to the nomadic population.
