Over seven million livestock have died in Mongolia this year, which is more than a tenth of the country’s entire livestock population. It is due to the extreme weather phenomenon “dzud” which almost only affects Mongolia.

The weather phenomenon is a combination of dry summers and extremely cold winters and occurs mainly in Mongolia but can also occur in other parts of Central Asia.

Extremely heavy snowfalls form impermeable layers of snow and ice, which means that the animals cannot graze and starve to death. During other times of the year, there is a drought instead, which means that there is not enough feed for the animals to fatten up for the winter.

Thousands of families have lost over 70 percent of their livestock. The total death toll could rise to 14.9 million animals, the country’s deputy prime minister has said, according to state media.

Notices of redundancies are pouring in more and more frequently. But unemployment is almost at a standstill, new figures from Arbetsförmedlingen show.

The number notified has risen steadily during the spring and reached a historically high 8,300 employees in May. It is the highest figure since the beginning of 2023, which was then affected by a single event (the health care company Humana’s giant alert, which was later withdrawn).

Otherwise, you have to go back to levels at the outbreak of the pandemic in spring 2020. The figure can also be compared with just under 5,400 last May.

But despite that, so far unemployment has not risen very much, according to the Statistics of the Employment Service. Admittedly, approximately 20,000 more are registered as unemployed with the country’s employment agencies than in May last year. But since the turn of the year, unemployment has been largely stagnant at around 6.5 percent, adjusted for seasonal patterns.

Ahead of the summer, youth unemployment has increased slightly. At the end of May, 37,000 people aged 18–24 were registered as unemployed, which is 3,000 more than at the same time last year.
