ULAN BATOR, May 22 (Xinhua) -- One out of every eight families in Mongolia is single-parent, presidential advisor for civil society and human rights affairs Gantumur Uyanga said Wednesday.
"Single-parent families are on the rise in Mongolia as divorce is on the rise year after year. Unemployment or financial problem has become one of the main reasons for divorce in the country," Uyanga said at a national conference titled "Let's create child and family-friendly environments."
"We have to pay special attention to creating child and family-friendly environments in the country by offering job to at least one member of a family and strengthening family laws," said the presidential advisor.
According to Uyanga, currently, there are around 80,000 single-mother families and over 20,000 single-father families in Mongolia with a population of 3.2 million.
