Russia and Kazakhstan, for instance, sold off its state owned enterprises(SOES) and generally reduced government intervention at a quick rate. In contrast, Croatia, Poland and Sloveniaremoved price controls and subsidies and privatized relatively slowly.Some economists claim that the "shock therapy" swept away safety nets with state ownership. In a number ofRussian towns, the SOES provided not only jobs but also healthcare, childcare and pensions, When the SOES were soldoff unemployment rose and life expectancy fell. The lives of men were particularly badly affected with their lifespanfalling even further than that of women.The question of how fast to make the transition from a planned to a market economy is now facing China. Thecountry is becoming more market orientated with the role of the private sector increasing.
