The Vietnam economy has added more than one million jobs in the first eight months of the year, meeting 64% of the annual goal, according to a report by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs.
The report came at the ninth session of the National Assembly (NA) Committee for Social Affairs on September 25 focusing on labour, jobs and social welfare. By the end of the year, the number of poor households is forecast to be 5.8-6% of the nation’s population, down by 1.8-2% compared to last year.
Despite improvements in vocational training, its quality remains poor, especially in mountainous and rural areas.
Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Pham Thi Hai Chuyen said the Vietnamese Government will pay attention to developing infrastructure facilities particularly building vocational training schools and boarding schools for ethnic groups.
