From the intro

The 39th issue of the journal “Economics: Theory and practice” is a Special Issue dedicated to research on care economy. This Special Issue volume has the most recent research on care economy from the USA, Turkey, Mongolia and we hope these articles will be used more broadly by researchers, graduate students and hopefully by policymakers in Mongolia.
