Poverty in Mongolia
The country I chose is Mongolia from the podcast. There was a hard hit on
the economy that affected the families of Mongolia. The percentages of
unemployment rose and inflation and prices soared. Social services and welfare
were limited to the families of Mongolia.
I learned from studying this country that the lives of the families living
in poverty have gotten worse over the 1990s. According to the information
gathered, migrants and people living in rural areas are considered poor. Mongolia
is dealing with large amount of cuts in their education services. Education for
poor kids is very limited and the dropout rate is higher, due to economic
reasons. The state does not support the families and children living in
Mongolia.
Policy and procedures are underway to reduce poverty in Mongolia. The
government has created a plan of action; which is known as a Poverty Reduction
Strategy Paper (PRSP). The Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper covers solution to
help economic growth, rural development, social services and welfare, and good
governance. They are hoping to tackle poverty and childhood poverty in
Mongolia.

Thanks for sharing; I sincerely wish them quick recovery. The sooner they tackle the poverty issue the better. They can also seek for help outside their country. Economic disaster usually sends a country backward and most times the disaster is caused by lack of foresight on the part of government. Do have a great weekend
ReplyDeleteI know that we are very fortunate to be born in a place that we do not suffer as much as others. It is sad to hear about places that are on the brinks due to poverty and low resources. It is our duty as humans to help others and to make a better place. It is good that the problems are being addressed. Proverty is something that will truely take a life time to fix if we don't stick together.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all you do in the fight against poverty
