    Description
    The Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Protection of Mongolia is tasked with enhancing social protection systems and fostering inclusive economic growth. The Ministry formulates policies on employment, family welfare, labour market regulation, and vocational training, ensuring equal opportunities for all citizens. Mongolia’s labour market is characterized by significant challenges, including high unemployment rates (especially amongst the youth), a mismatch between skills and market demand, and an over-reliance on informal employment. The government has prioritized public employment programs to address these challenges, focusing on vocational training, job matching services, and support for marginalized groups, including women, persons with disabilities, and rural workers. Policies such as the revised Labour Law and the Decent Work Agenda (2023-2027) aim to improve labor standards and promote sustainable employment. The Action aimed at contributing to improve public employment systems of Mongolia by allowing for efficient & performance-based public employment systems and policy coherence with education and social welfare systems. It was achieved by providing comparative assessment of employment promotion in connection with the education system and with social security, vis-à-vis EU practices and models; and by formulating proposals & practical recommendations for revision of the Employment Promotion Act.
