Mongolia policy brief: Freedom of association and collective bargaining in the informal economy in Mongolia

The brief contains the analysis of the legal regulatory framework for freedom of association and collective bargaining in the informal economy in Mongolia.

There does not appear to be any restriction on freedom of association and collective bargaining rights for individuals working in the informal economy, i.e. those who do not have contracts with their employers or those who work for unregistered businesses.

There is therefore no legislative barrier to Mongolian citizens who work in the informal economy forming, joining or participating in trade unions, or engaging in collective bargaining. There is also no legislative barrier to these individuals forming, joining or participating in voluntary associations, members of which may in turn be represented by trade unions.
