Abstract

The study on the employment situation of Vietnamese workers shows that Vietnam’s labor market was strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, with the labor force and the number of employed people declining significantly in 2021. However, by 2022, the market began to recover and is expected to nearly return to pre-pandemic levels by 2024. The unemployment rate has continuously decreased and remained low, yet disparities in job opportunities still exist between men and women, and between urban and rural areas. The labor structure has been shifting towards urbanization and industrialization, with the non-state sector and foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises playing a key role in job creation. To ensure sustainable labor market development, several solutions are necessary: focusing on reskilling workers, narrowing the gender gap, expanding employment opportunities in rural areas, attracting high-quality FDI associated with technology transfer, and improving job quality while ensuring social security.
