RESOLUTION TO IMPROVE ARTISANAL MINERS

Member of Parliament T.Ayursaikhan has presented a draft parliamentary resolution, which lays out measures regarding the workers engaged in artisanal mining to the Chairman of the State Great Khural (Parliament) M.Enkhbold.

Year by year, a greater number of people are involved in small-scale mining activities in order to win their own and their family’s bread as the unemployment rate continues to climb.

Although the Subprogram on Development of Artisanal Mining until 2015 was adopted in 2008 in accordance with the Resolution No 71, the implementing period has been over with no tangible results, noted T. Ayursaikhan MP.

The draft was prepared with several purposes including, building plans of specialized programs in favor of workers in artisanal mining into the national policy documents directed at reducing poverty and unemployment and improving household incomes, creating more jobs that are suitable for the local business environment, establishing systematic vocational training programs, promoting small enterprises in the centralized industrial areas and of providing job opportunities to the artisanal miners in areas with unfavorable geological and labor safety conditions.
