Vietnam sends over 72,000 labourers abroad in first six months
(LĐXH)- Over 72,000 Vietnamese workers were sent abroad during the first six months of the year, meeting nearly 66% of the target, the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs has reported.
In June alone, more than 12,600 Vietnamese labourers went abroad, mostly to Japan and Taiwan.
The same month, Vietnam and the RoK signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed to boost their labor cooperation under the Employment Permit System (EPS) Program.
For Vietnamese guest workers, the RoK is a high-income and close-to-culture market, so it attracts many workers from the Southeast Asian nation.
The average income of workers in the RoK ranges from 1,500 - 2,000 USD per month. The EPS program brings many high-income jobs to Vietnamese workers as well as contributes to the RoK’s development.
For 2023, the country set a target to send 110,000 workers abroad.
Up to now, the labour export market has been increasingly open, including not only in traditional, low-income markets but has opened up many opportunities for high-income jobs in difficult markets.
This is not only an opportunity to realize poverty reduction goals but also a key to improving the quality of human resources.
To support workers to work abroad, the Government has many support policies such as vocational training, loans, skills training, etc./.
