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 from
Ulaanbaatar, with the next most common provinces of origin being
Bayan-Ölgii,
Darkhan-Uul, and
Orkhon. 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). In the
European Union, the
Czech Republic has the largest Mongolian diaspora, out of which the vast majority reside in the
North Bohemian city of
Česká 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. ==References==
