This report identifies the major determinants of this movement towards rapid urbanization and significant population redistribution in Mongolia. First, in an attempt to decentralize industrialization, the government adopted a strategy frequently followed in centrally planned economies -- the creation of industrial complexes. As a result, industries emerged in existing urban centers, especially Ulaanbaatar, and at new sites. Second, collectivization resulted in only marginal increases in rural production, not enough to absorb the growing rural population, which instead formed a reservoir of labor for the expanding urban economy, especially in provincial centers.

Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
