Polarization During Institutional Decline: Variation in Educational Attainment in Post-Soviet Central Asia in 1991–2006
This article investigates the contours of inequality in the context of institutional decline and polarization in educational attainment.

Overall, gender and ethnic dif…
“When Salary Is Not Enough . . .“: Private Households in Central Asia
Compulsory Policy Change and Divergence in Educational Attainment in Four Former Soviet Republics of Central Asia

Data from UNICEF's Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, conducted in 2005-6 in each of the republics, provide…
School, work and community-level differences in Afghanistan and Tajikistan: Divergence in secondary school enrolment of youth

Past work on educational stratification in the region has demonstrated similar trends, but not sought to explain…
