A Comparative Study of the Labor Contract Termination Systems in China and Mongolia

Abstract

As a core component of labor law, the termination of labor contract system directly impacts the stability and flexibility of labor relations. This paper aims to explore the similarities and differences in the labor contract termination systems between China and Mongolia through comparative research, providing references for improving labor legislation in both countries. The paper first outlines the basic frameworks and legal provisions governing the termination systems in both nations, covering key elements such as statutory grounds for termination, procedures for termination by mutual agreement, and severance pay standards. Subsequently, through comparative analysis, it reveals critical differences in legal philosophies and operational procedures between the two countries: Research indicates that China's labor law provides more stringent protection for workers' rights, with explicit stipulations regarding termination conditions and severance pay. Conversely, Mongolia exhibits significant differences in areas such as employers' notification obligations and procedural requirements during workforce reductions. Further analysis points out that these differences are rooted in the distinct economic development levels and legal cultural backgrounds of the two countries. Finally, drawing on the research findings, the paper proposes concrete suggestions for refining China's labor law by learning from Mongolia's successful experiences in its termination system, with the goal of more effectively safeguarding workers' rights and interests and fostering the construction of harmonious and stable labor relations.
