ULAN BATOR, April 9 (Xinhua) -- The Mongolian government on Wednesday decided to allow civil servants to work remotely for one day out of the five-day workweek, said the government's press office.

The decision was made during the government's regular cabinet meeting, the press office said.

In addition, working either part-time or full-time on weekends is discouraged for civil servants.

The government believes the measure will be economically efficient and help improve both job satisfaction and productivity among civil servants.

According to official data, as of 2025, more than 213,600 civil servants are employed across 4,330 public organizations in Mongolia, which has a population of 3.5 million. ■
