  16. SUMMARY OF THE OBSERVATIONS: Fall in population growth rate (1.5% per annum) was observed in Census 2010 as compared to that seen in the Census of 1989. Consequently, the child population (0-14 years) has decreased to 27.3% as against 35.8% seen in previous census. Urban population has registered an increase from 56.6% in Census 2000 to 67.9% in Census 2010. Correspondingly, a fall in the percentage of rural population from 43.4% to 32.1% was observed. A phenomenal decadal rise of 51.9% was seen in Ulaanbaatar as compared to 10.2% in other urban areas of the country.

  17. A relatively high mortality among males compared to females aged above 40 years was noted. The data collected from various parts of the world do suggest a higher mortality among males as compared to females but not so high as seen in Mongolia. A systematic study is needed to find out the exact causes of deaths among adults so that appropriate policies could be made to prevent such a higher mortality among males. In Mongolia, the incidence and mortality of the Liver cancer was observed to be the highest in the world followed by the incidence and mortality of the stomach cancer. Alcohol consumption is considered as one of the major risk factor for occurrence of Liver cancer.

  18. The mean consumption of pure alcohol was observed to be around 30 g among males and about 10 g among females. The alcohol dependency was about 22% among males and 5% among females. School attendance among youth (20-30 years) is around 15% only. Need to improve. The contribution of agriculture sector to total GDP has decreased substantially from 29.1% in 2000 to 14.3% in 2010. Life expectancy and per capita Gross Income has increased so also the Human Development Index. A welcome change.

  19. Goats formed the major percentage of Livestock (46%) and export of meat was around 16000 tons. Cashmere export has fetched 180 million US $ to the country. The percentage of tourist to Mongolia has increased (332%) during the last decade. Tourism needs further promotion to increase the national income.

  22. In its 2010 Human Development Report, the UNDP began using a new method of calculating the HDI. The following three indices are used: 1. Life Expectancy Index (LEI) = (LE – 20)/82.3-20 2. Education Index (EI) = (MYSI - EYSI)0.5/.0.951 2.1 Mean Years of Schooling Index (MYSI) = MYS/13.2 2.2 Expected Years of Schooling Index (EYSI) = EYS/20.6 ]3. Income Index (II)  = [ ln(GNIpc) – ln (100)]/ [ln(107,721) – ln (100)] Finally, the HDI is the geometric mean of the previous three normalized indices: HDI = (LEI*EI.II)1/3 LE: Life expectancy at birth MYS: Mean years of schooling (Years that a 25-year-old person or older has spent in schools) EYS: Expected years of schooling (Years that a 5-year-old child will spend with his education in his whole life) GNIpc: Gross national income at purchasing power parity per capita
