History of poverty in Mongolia is, and always has been very bad both back then medieval times and modem Mongolian times. Today about three to four thousand Mongolian kids live in poverty in Ulaa
nbaatar (Mongolia's Capitol), Mongolia alone. That must mean that there is much more poverty in Mongolia as a whole. That means that many thousands of Mongolians can barely get one meal a day. Temujin (Genghis Khan)
lived in poverty until he proved to the Mongolians that he was the right leader for their country. Genghis Khan continued to expand his land most likely increasing the poverty. Genghis Kahn later died in 1227. Kublai Khan (Genghis Kahn's grand son) ruled after Khan. When he died in 1294 it led
to the decline of his empire resulting in loss of conquered land.
While Mongolians were taking over the Chinese empire, the Chinese built up an army strong enough to re-gain the lost land in 1919, a short time after that the Russian civil war took refuge in China forcing the Chinese
out. Collectivism (link.2) in the 1920's resulted in 27,000 being killed this is around 3% of the Mongolian population. Mongolia switched from a Communist economy to
a Market economy. Meanwhile, 20% of the country's population went from poor to even more poor, in the 1990's. In 1998 single mothers led the majority of poverty and it was around 70,000 families. In 2003, the most urgent issue was poverty in Mongolia.
One way to solve poverty in Mongolia is to help them grow enough food so they can get
started on at least food production. Then teach them how to build houses then that will solve
a lot of the poverty crisis. Also looking in to their policies on poverty, and changing them for the better of the poverty stricken population. The foundations that try to h
elp the poverty-stricken Mongolians should help economic growth spread to the poor Mongolians, (link 3).
