The population growth rate is based on two elements, the birth, and the death rate. In Mongolia the birth rate is 19.6 births / 1,000 population (2016 estimate), the death rate 6.3 deaths / 1,000 population (2016 estimate).
In this day and age in developed societies, the first child borns later compared to the previous centuries and decades, so childbearing is extended. In Mongolia, the average age of mothers at the first childbirth is N/A.
Although the children’s birth is postponed in the best-case scenario, the parents can still see their kids grow as life expectancy also extended. In the case of Mongolia, these figures are.

The infant mortality statistics in Mongolia are the following: N/A. Relevant data is the budget of healthcare, which is in the case of this country is 4.7% of GDP (2014).
Economic data of Mongolia
Suppose we would like to describe a country, we also have to mention its economy; Foreign direct investment in Mongolia’s extractive industries – which are based on extensive deposits of copper, gold, coal, molybdenum, fluorspar, uranium, tin, and tungsten – has transformed Mongolia’s landlocked economy from its traditional dependenceSoviet assistance, at its height one-third of GDP, disappeared almost overnight in 1990 and 1991 at the time of the dismantlement of the USSR. The following decade saw Mongolia endure both deep recessions because of political inaction and natural disasters. Growth averaged nearly 9% per year in 2004-08 largely because of high copper prices globally and new gold production. By late 2008, Mongolia was hit by the global financial crisis, and Mongolia’s real economy contracted 1.3% in 2009. In early 2009, the IMFThe current government has made restoring investor trust and reviving the economy its top priority, but has failed to invigorate the economy in the face of the large drop off in foreign direct investment, mounting external debt, and a sizeable budget deficit.
GDP is a prominent figure, as all the relevant calculations and statistics are based on it. GDP in Mongolia is $11.16 billion (2015 estimate).
Another important indicator is the rate of GDP growth, which in Mongolia is 0% (2016 estimate), 2.4% (2015 estimate) 7.9% (2014 estimate).

A further major factor of a country’s economy, the GDP per capita. In Mongolia this is $12,200 (2016 estimate) $12,300 (2015 estimate) $12,200 (2014 estimate).

More interesting facts about Mongolia
A few words about the past, as every country and society, is connected to its history; The Mongols gained fame in the 13th century when under Chinggis KHAAN, they established a huge Eurasian empire. After his death, the empire was divided into several powerful Mongol states, but these broke apart in the 14th century. The Mongols eventually retired to their original steppe homelands and came under Chinese rule in the late 17th century. Mongolia won its independence in 1921 with Soviet backing, and a communist regime was installed in 1924. However, Mongolia’smodern country represents only part of the Mongols’ historical homeland; today, more ethnic Mongolians live in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the People’s Republic of China than in Mongolia.
Following a peaceful democratic revolution in 1990, the ex-communist Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party (MPRP) – which took the name Mongolian People’s Party (MPP) in 2010 – has competed for political power with the Democratic Party (DP), the main opposition party, and several other smaller parties, including a new party formed by former President ENKHBAYAR, which confusingly adopted for itself the MPRP name. In its most recent Parliamentary elections in June 2016, Mongolians handed the MPP overwhelming control of Parliament, mainly pushing out the DP, which had overseen a sharp decline in Mongolia’s economy during its control of Parliament in the preceding years. President ELBEGDORJ, a DP member, will finish his second term as president in 2017 and is not eligible to run for reelection.
In every nation’s memory, some cornerstones placed the country on the timeline of history. The date of declaration of independence of Mongolia: 11 July 1921 (from China).

In dictatorships, the rules usually interweaved in one hand.

Please bear in mind that the population in Mongolia is total: 21.8 deaths / 1,000 live births; male: 24.9 deaths / 1,000 live births, female: 18.5 deaths / 1,000 live births (2016 estimate) – as we already mentioned above.

It is 0 if the examined criteria territorial distribution is equal. It is one of the criteria concentrated on the territory. In Mongolia, the GINI index is .36,5 (2008).
