A petition from the Mongolian Democratic Socialist
Youth Association (MDSYA) was submitted to the state leaders regarding social
issues including the average salary of state employees such as teachers,
judges, prosecutors and employees of the police should be increased up to MNT
300,000.
The petition consists of three general proposals which are, accelerating economic development including innovation of related projects and finances, innovation of the state administration and local development policy, and finally, human development and social policies. “We proposed in our petition letter that the government make a final formulation on the National Development Program, and to organize an open discussion among the public, political parties and the NGOs, and to adopt it in parliament and comply with it as the social and economic development policy,” said M. Munkhbat, the general secretary of MDSYA. According to the innovation of the state administration and local development policy, the petition proposed the average salary of the state employees should be increased up to MNT 300,000, and to support the isolated Gobi region employees by giving them additional salary. Proposals on the creation of 145,000 workplaces which was included in the parliament election program of 2004, creating an independent agency with MNT 50 billion in funds from the state budget to pass a law on supporting the small and medium sized business, changing the industrial schools to colleges, long term crediting for citizens and building dormitories for 5,000 students were also included in the petition letter. “The petition also included proposals to increase the ability to overcome the industrial risk of livestock husbandry by putting the nomadic livestock husbandry in an organization,” Munkhbat said. According to the statement by the administrative members of MDSYA, the most burning issues of the society are related to the youth, because 80 percent of the Mongolian population is children and young people. This year, members from MDSYA went around the country to study the burning issues among local youth and organized meetings with doctors, teachers, businessmen and herders who are under the age of 35 to hear their voices. From their studies they decided to submit the above proposals to the president of Mongolia, parliament and the government. |
