Summary

This publication examines the impact of economic transition and poverty on social networks in the Central Asian country of the Kyrgyz Republic. It considers the effect of poverty on the form and function of informal social networks of the poor and non-poor households, and highlights the polarisation of social networks that parallels the sharp socio-economic stratification that has occurred since national independence in 1991.
