Abstract

In current economy of Mongolia, there have been several big changes related to the main strategy: leverage Mongolia's vast natural resources to boost socioeconomic growth. Within last 15 years, Mongolian FDI increased with extreme rapid and regarding to this huge inflow Mongolian labor market extended with almost same size. Particularly, it was very high demand for the skilled workers, who can work in specific fields such as a mining, construction and energy. However, the main problem occurred with the quality of local workers for these fields. In order to obtain socioeconomic growth, the economy should produce working places in which local citizens can work and society should provide with high skilled workers into these job places. Nevertheless, if the workers cannot fulfill the main requirements of job description, the employers will hire non-local workers with high skill and it is not what Mongolian government wants.
