Government works to direct state welfare to targeted groups. Speaking at the recent parliamentary session Prime Minister J.Erdenebat said that the government invests in welfare to reduce poverty, but poverty has dramatically increased due to the nation’s economic challenges and many people have a tendency to rely on welfare. He noted that the focus should be concentrated on enhancing the legal and regulatory environment for welfare and social protection, as well as monitoring to ensure that target groups receive international and domestic aid for poverty reduction. Mr. Prime Minister said that Cabinet is concentrating more on low-income families by revisiting welfare programs and maintaining state welfare budgets without reducing spending. He stated that methods for determining which households fall under target group categories will be redesigned by using a database based on a household’s wages,property, and vehicle assets. Mr. Prime Minister added that the government hopes to implement a national program on family development by collaborating with local government officials to get a selected 55,000 families out of poverty over the next four years.
