The pivotal question concerns the determination of living standards. Who gained and who lost from the transition to a market economy? Which characteristics are rewarded in a new market economy? How do national policies and other systematic factors affect these outcomes? The authors also address other important issues that have emerged during transition debates: the position of women and the role of small businesses. The book analyses the gender issue in the narrow, but significant, sense of what happened to women in the labour market and the authors also analyze the characteristics of households with non-farm businesses.
This book will prove invaluable to academics and researchers of Asian studies and particularly those with an interest in economic development and labour economics within the region.

“在国际劳工组织和开发计划署等组织之外”已经完成了一点工作，以展示改革的内在动态。西方经济学家一般不再深入研究家庭和公司，了解这些变化如何影响地面零的个体。PomFreet和Anderson这样做。在这些方面，这本书打破了新的地面。

‘Anderson and Pomfret have done an excellent job showing that a great deal can be learned about Central Asia’s economies from thoughtful analysis of existing micro data sets. They are not the only researchers to have used these data sets, but surely have set the standard for the application of careful, state-of-the-art econometric research to a wide range of poverty, labour market, and small business issues throughout the region. Indeed, few if any other researchers enjoy both experience in and understanding of the region as well as grounding in modern labour economics and econometrics. The result is a cornucopia of findings. The rising importance of tertiary education as the transition progresses; the declining advantages of Slavic ethnicity; the economic advantages of living in capital cities, and establishing small businesses there; the diminishing rather than growing gender gaps; and the presence of high taxes, predatory governments, and low demand rather than credit constraints as the key deterrents to small business development – these are but a few of the book’s profound conclusions. These results and others will help inform policymakers and guide theoreticians, and significantly improve Central Asian and other economists’ understanding of the region.’

“我发现这本书提供了对自独立以来十年来的中亚生活标准和物质福利变化的迷人洞察。这本书是中亚贫困和家庭福利文学的宝贵补充，代表了第一次做出一致的跨国比较。这将是该地区内部贫困和福利感兴趣的所有人的强制性读者，包括国家和政策制定者，都来自国际捐助者和非政府组织社区。
