Mongolia social services ranked as among best in Asia
Wednesday, 21 May 2008
New rankings by the Asian Development
Bank places Mongolia among the top four of 31 Asian countries providing
social services such as health care and education to its population.
In releasing its Social Protection
Index (SPI), Asian Development Bank officials noted they evaluated a
wide range of social programs provided for citizens including welfare,
employment, social security, health insurance, micro-credit, child protection,
education, and health support programs.
Of note, is that Mongolia was
rated as providing superior social services to China, India, the Philippines
and Indonesia.
Bank officials made a special
point to acknowledge that their study proves that a government’s will
to provide for its citizens, rather than its overall wealth, is often
the deciding factor in the quality of services available.
Besides Mongolia, Japan, South
Korea and Uzbekistan were cited as having superior social benefits for
citizens.
