According to the National Statistics Office data as of November 2014 the average salary in Mongolia nationwide differs greatly by regions. While national average reaches 792,000MNT, this number goes up to 872,000 MNT in Ulaanbaatar city, with the same number declining to 580,000MNT in western region.
Western Region covers Khovd, Bayan-Ulgii, Uvs, Gobi-Altai and Zavkhan aimags. With lowest average salary at national level, it implies the necessity of the Aimag Governors to work towards improving the situation; otherwise the population migration from these aimags might stay at highest for coming years. While capital city schools and hospitals are overflowed with children, aimag schools and hospitals operate with very low numbers.
MPs elected from Western Region have asked multiple times at the Great Khural sessions to review the increase of the salary and social welfare at the region, but were declined citing the upcoming debt payments of the Government bonds.
Another issue that catches the eye is the salary of the mining and exploration sector. This sector boasts with average salary ranging at MNT1.5 million.
