The Mongolian diaspora refers to people of the modern country of Mongolia who live outside Mongolia. According to the Mongolian census of 2020, 122,301 Mongolian nationals were reported to be living abroad for more than six months, an increase of 14% from the last census in 2010. [4] The largest Mongolian populations were recorded as being in South Korea, the United States, Japan, Australia, Kazakhstan, and the Czech Republic. [1] 3.7% of the total population resides abroad.

Demographics

According to the 2020 census, the diaspora was reported to mostly be of working age, skewing female, with the population of children (0-14) almost doubling from 2010 to 2020, indicating more long-term settlement abroad. 74.5% of the diaspora population originated from Ulaanbaatar, with the next most common provinces of origin being Bayan-Ölgii, Darkhan-Uul, and Orkhon. [1]

Mongolians residing in Europe were reported to have the highest average duration of settlement (11+ years), while those in Russia, China, South Korea, and Japan were mostly short-term residents (less than 1 year). [1]

In the European Union, the Czech Republic has the largest Mongolian diaspora, out of which the vast majority reside in the North Bohemian city of Česká Lípa. The community there grew so significantly in the last five years that out of the approximately 400 “foreign” students in the local elementary schools, 300 of them are of Mongolian descent. The city had to take special measures by employing native Mongolian speakers in the local schools to be able to educate the local Mongolian diaspora youth.

The majority (46.7%) of Mongolians abroad initially went as students, and 44% of the diaspora population had tertiary degrees. [1]

The Nationality Act, Immigration Control Act, Multicultural Families Support Act, and the Framework Act on Treatment of Foreigners are the foundations of immigration policy in Korea. The Korean government initiated a discussion in 2003 on establishing an independent immigration office to accommodate fast-growing immigrant and to prepare inclusive and rational immigration policies; however, there has been little progress. The Foreigner Policy Committee, headed by the Prime Minister, coordinates foreigner-related policies which were handled by many ministries. However, its role is limited because of a shortage of resources and manpower. The establishment of an Immigration Office is expected to solve these problems by concentrating all related resources and manpower under one umbrella.
