Determining the Theoretical Position of the Labour Law System through an Analysis of the Objectives of the Labour Law of Mongolia

As a constituent element of the national legal order, the theoretical characterization of the labour law system remains contested. In particular, it is debated whether labour law should be regarded as an independent branch of private law, a specialized sector within private law, a field situated at the intersection of private and public law, or as a form of mixed (hybrid) law. This study seeks to determine its doctrinal position through an analysis of the objectives of the Labour Law of Mongolia. Such an inquiry may have theoretical and methodological significance for the further examination of the application of labour legislation from the perspectives of legal tradition, legal families, and legal systems., Rationale for the study. Given that the labour law system remains theoretically controversial, addressing issues concerning the application of labour legislation without first clarifying its doctrinal nature may lead to partial and methodologically incomplete conclusions. Therefore, this topic was selected on the premise that defining the theoretical status of labour law is of both theoretical and practical importance., State of research: Domestic and foreign scholars have examined labour law as an independent branch of law, a mixed legal field, or a specialized sector of private law, and have recognized the significance of statutory objectives. However, the specific objectives of the Labour Law of Mongolia have not been independently and systematically analyzed in detail., Research question. Based on a systematic analysis of the objectives and regulatory structure of the relevant legislation, is it theoretically justifiable to characterize Mongolian labour law as a mixed legal system? If so, would such a characterization influence the methodology of applying labour legislation?
