“…Reflecting a more diversified economy with grain exports and a variety of mineral and energy resources, Kazakhstan enjoyed comparatively higher living standards in the late 1980s (Pomfret & Anderson, 2001;Spoor, 1997). During the 1990s, Kazakhstan occupied an intermediary position between Uzbekistan and the Kyrgyz Republic in terms of economic decline and reforms.…”

“…Stretching the government's budgets, the economic break-up made it difficult to maintain the social welfare regime, resulting in a rapid increase in poverty and inequality, a soaring inflation during the early 1990s and the appearance of unemployment*a phenomenon unknown so far (Anderson & Pomfret, 2002;Falkingham, 1999Falkingham, , 2005Milanovic, 1998;Pomfret, 1995Pomfret, , 2006UNICEF, 2001;UNICEF Regional Office for CEE/CIS, 2012). In addition to the characteristics shared by other transition economies, the status of each Central Asian republic within the Soviet Union, and their respective geographies and resource endowments, has largely determined the development path of the countries of the region (Blackmon, 2005;Dowling & Wignaraja, 2006;Pomfret, 1995Pomfret, , 2006Pomfret & Anderson, 2001).…”

Limited studies document the fertility changes in Central Asia. Using survey and official data, this study describes the fertility changes since 1980 in Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Uzbekistan. I first consider the swift decline in fertility in the 1980s and 1990s through the analysis of Synthetic Parity Progression Ratios (SPPRs). SPPRs show that women still have at least one child despite economic difficulties and that the end of communism affected more the transition to higher-order births. These results are however influenced by economic and demographic factors specific to each country. I investigate then the fertility upturn that is observed since the early 2000s*an issue neglected so far by demographers. Results from the analysis of official and household data show that in each country, the recent fertility increase resulted from the increase of distinct birth orders and was concentrated in specific ethnic groups.

“…Falling living conditions are made worse by the contraction of social services in the post-Soviet era. 10 The obvious consequence of this ominous trend is a growing socioeconomic gap which, if left unchecked, could have significantly adverse affects on political stability.…”

“…The Kyrgyz Republic embraced advice from western institutions and advocates of rapid change, and, within limits, its president fostered the emergence of the most liberal regime in the region (Pomfret & Anderson, 2001). On one hand, mass and rapid privatization and 'shock therapy' brought by the Washington Consensus have been perceived as the pillars of change in the country.…”

This paper aims to synchronize the historical developments in the economy of the Kyrgyz Republic with the works of Professor Musaeva Dzharkinay Asanovna. Prof. Musaeva, the recipient of the outstanding scholar of National Education of the Kyrgyz Republic award, was a prominent representative of the science and culture of the country. Prof. Musaeva's research reputation is based mainly on her works on agricultural economics and problems of economic growth and development of the transitional economy of Kyrgyzstan, which was ended with the formation of the idea of the Asian model of economic reforms. She was involved in several significant research initiatives and projects as part of the growing concern about economic reforms, strategy of economic development and their likely impact on the transitional economy of Kyrgyzstan, where the choice of the liberal model of economic reforms was natural and determined by the specific socio-economic and cultural-historical features of the development of the Kyrgyz people as a result of the nomadic lifestyle. These followed by the formulation and interpretation of the Asian model of the economic reforms in Kyrgyzstan and its future development trends.
