Employment in Mongolia
Unemployment remains the Government's main concern
and a primary cause of poverty. The extreme severity of the last three
winters revealed the vulnerability of the rural economy and accelerated
the migration of people seeking better access to social services and
employment opportunities from the remote aimags to urban areas,
particularly to Ulaanbaatar.
Thanks to the laws on labour, the Law on exporting and importing of
labour forces, passed in 2002, and the establishment of funds to
support employment, the labour market is showing a good tendency to
improve.
The
National Program on Employment Promotion was passed in 2002 and the
National Conference on Employment was held, which were significant
steps in defining the outlook of labour market policy. Also, a law on
vocational education was newly adopted. As a result of experimental
implementation of a program in collaboration with the United Nations
Development Program (UNDP), preconditions for building of a structure
of vocational training were set up. Money from the fund is spent on
building work positions, vocational training, supporting employment and
granting small loans.
The
State often supports the labour of disabled people. In 2003 the
Government spent 5.7 billion tugrigs on measures to support employment.
As a result of these steps in 2000-2003 demand for jobs doubled and the
number of people involved in professional retraining increased 4.7-fold
on 1999. Employment is now increasing not only inside but also outside
the country. Today 2,154 people are working in South Korea, 475 in
Japan, 80 in the Czech Republic and 15 in Germany. The number of the
officially registered people working abroad is increasing every year.
