Department of Social Work, Mongolian State University of Education, PO Box 189, Ulaanbaatar 48, Mongolia English Mongolia's rapid transition to a capitalist ecomony resulted in family disintegration and child homelessness. This article, based on interviews with six youths who spent several years in an orphanage, suggests that institutionalization is not a solution. Although generalizations require caution, the study supports the importance of developing family preservation policies.

Bien qu’il faille se méfier des généralisations, l’étude souligne l’importance du développement des politiques de préservation des familles.
