This book uses household survey data from five Central Asian
countries to analyse the important consequences of, and elements
that constitute, the creation of a market economy. The countries
studied - Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan
and Uzbekistan - had taken minimal action towards creating a market
economy before the dissolution of the USSR in late 1991. From
similar initial conditions they have pursued different
post-independence economic strategies, making them ideal candidates
for comparative analysis. The pivotal question concerns the
determination of living standards. Who gained and who lost from the
transition to a market economy? Which characteristics are rewarded
in a new market economy? How do national policies and other
systematic factors affect these outcomes? The authors also address
other important issues that have emerged during transition debates:
the position of women and the role of small businesses. The book
analyses the gender issue in the narrow, but significant, sense of
what happened to women in the labour market and the authors also
analyze the characteristics of households with non-farm businesses.
This book will prove invaluable to academics and researchers of
Asian studies and particularly those with an interest in economic
development and labour economics within the region.
