FOREWORD
Rapid aging in Asia and the Pacific has put the region at the forefront of one of the most important global trends. The demographic shift is largely the result of both increased longevity and decreased fertility rates, which are both examples of development success. The change is happening at an unprecedented pace: in 2020, 13% of the population in the Asia and Pacific region is aged 60 or above, and by 2050, it is expected to increase to 24%, or roughly 1.3 billion people. At the same time, traditional family support systems are weakening due to increased migration, urbanization, decreasing family sizes, and expanding female labor market participation. Even when family care support is available, people with complex care needs and their caregivers require additional support.
The demographic, economic, and social trends are resulting in a growing need to establish and finance long-term care (LTC) services and develop the enabling environments to support older people to age well and help families and communities to care for their older citizens. The development of models of care that are affordable, sustainable, accessible, efficacious, and adapted to local contexts is sorely needed.
The window of opportunity to plan for, prepare, and adapt to the needs of aging populations is now. There is great diversity among countries in the region. Some are aging at a fast rate and need to adapt quickly, others will age slower, but will end up with very large older populations. What is common, however, is that countries in the region will see change in the coming years and need to prepare for it. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and its disproportionate impacts on older persons and on existing care systems have illustrated how important it is to strengthen existing systems and develop new capacities.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has a growing portfolio on LTC, and is working to capitalize on opportunities of increased population longevity and help mitigate the social and fiscal risks of population aging. In May 2016, ADB approved the regional capacity development technical assistance for the Strengthening Developing Member Countries’ Capacity in Elderly Care project, to help increase the capacity of developing member countries to design policies and plans for the improvement of their LTC services. The six diverse countries included in this regional technical assistance are Indonesia, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tonga, and Viet Nam.
The technical assistance aims to (i) build a knowledge base in the region for the development of LTC systems and services; (ii) improve the capacity of officials and other stakeholders in these countries to design and implement strategic LTC plans; and (iii) create a network for disseminating knowledge, good practices, and expertise.
This country diagnostic study aims to help strengthen the knowledge base on emerging LTC policies, programs, and systems in Mongolia. The study outlines findings on the current situation of LTC with regard to the need for care and the supply of care, regulatory and policy frameworks, service provision, quality management, human resources, and financing. Analysis, conclusions, and recommendations concerning LTC system development are also included and have been informed by an in-country consultative process.
Population aging is a key megatrend of the 21st century, and how the Asia and Pacific region adapts to this trend will be an important factor in the continued development of the region. ADB is committed to working with our members on this journey.

This publication was prepared under the regional technical assistance for Strengthening Developing Member Countries’ Capacity in Elderly Care project (TA 9111) by the Social Development Thematic Group of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The report is one of six country diagnostic assessments—done for Indonesia, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tonga, and Viet Nam—that examine existing elderly care policies, services, and systems, including identification of gaps and opportunities toward long-term care development. Wendy Walker, chief of Social Development Thematic Group, Sustainable Development and Climate Change Department, provided overall guidance and technical advice to the study, with support from Yukiko Ito, Imelda Marquez, Rizza Loise Aguilar-Crisanto, and Maria Genieve Edar. ADB colleagues from the East Asia Department provided support by sharing insights and feedback throughout the implementation of TA 9111 in-country activities in Mongolia and included Urban and Social Sector Division’s Sangay Penjor, director; Karin Schelzig, principal social sector specialist; Cecil Muro, associate portfolio management officer; as well as Mongolia Resident Mission’s Pavit Ramachandran, country director, and Altantuya Jigjidsuren, senior social sector officer.
The Mongolia country diagnostic study has been a collective effort, and ADB extends its gratitude to the national consultants who contributed to the completion of the diagnostic report, namely, Byambaa Enkhtsetseg and Tsilaajav Tsolmongerel. ADB is thankful to international consultants Wendy Holmes and Konrad Obermann for helpful comments throughout the process of conducting the study; and HelpAge International’s team of consultants consisting of Meredith Wyse (team leader), Usa Khiewrord, Caitlin Littleton, Peter Morrison, Tassannee Surawana, and Rachanichol
