HCM City to spend VND501bn to help uncontracted workers
HCM City has proposed to spend VND501bn (USD21.7m) to support uncontracted workers who are facing difficulties due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs also proposed to give 170,000 low-income people living in rental areas VND1m each household. 90,000 poor and near-poor households will also be given VND1m each.
Le Minh Tan, director of the Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, said on August 3 that they had submitted the proposal to HCM City People's Committee.
"This is the second aid package to uncontracted workers, poor and near-poor households. The procedures will be simple and the money will be transferred directly to the people," he said. "unemployed workers don't have much savings and have many difficulties during the pandemic."
In July, 334,000 uncontracted workers were also given VND1.5m each when the city issued the first-aid package.
