TheMongolian diaspora refers to people from the modern country ofMongolia who live outside Mongolia. According to the Mongolian census of 2020, 122,550 Mongolian nationals were reported to be living abroad for more than six months, an increase of 14% from the previous census conducted in 2010.[6] In a recent 2023 report by theMinistry of Foreign Affairs, 211,611 Mongolian nationals were reported to be residing overseas.
The largest Mongolian populations were recorded inSouth Korea, theUnited States,Japan, theCzech Republic,Sweden, andAustralia, all with over 10,000 Mongolians. 6.1% ofMongolia's total population resides abroad.[7]
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 fromUlaanbaatar, with the next most common provinces of origin beingBayan-Ölgii,Darkhan-Uul, andOrkhon.[8]
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).[8]
In theEuropean Union, theCzech Republic has the largest Mongolian diaspora, out of which the vast majority reside in theNorth Bohemian city ofČeská Lípa. The community there has grown significantly in the last five years, and of the approximately 400 "foreign" students in the local elementary schools, 300 are of Mongolian descent. The city had to take extraordinary measures by hiring native Mongolian speakers at local schools 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.[8]
