Pastoral production in Mongolia from a gender perspective

The Policy Alternatives for Livestock Development (PALD) project was established to research and make policy recommendations on the liberalisation of the Mongolian pastoral economy and its impact within the household. The paper discusses the organisation of pastoral production at the household level from a gender perspective. Using participatory methods it was found that a clear division of labour exists within the household, based on gender and age.
