VGP – In 2014, Viet Nam has set target to send 90,000 guest workers abroad, up 5% against last year, according to the Ministry of Labor, Invalid and Social Affairs (MOLISA).
The labor export outlook is still optimistic, said Dao Cong Hai, Deputy Head of the Overseas Labor Management Department under the MOLISA.
Mr. Hai said traditional markets are projected to receive more Vietnamese guest workers, meanwhile, potential markets will be expanded and promoted.
The door for skilled and high-quality workers is opening particularly in Germany and Japan under pilot programs on nurses and orderlies.
In 2014, traditional markets like Japan, Taiwan and Malaysia were forecast to have high demand for guest workers including Vietnamese.
The Republic of Korea (RoK) is expected to resume receiving Vietnamese guest workers as the percentage of Vietnamese guest workers illegally residing in the RoK dropped sharply from 49.9% to only 39.2% in October, 2013.
The Overseas Labor Management Department said it would help raise the competence of labor export enterprises; renovate selection and training work for laborers; and protect legitimate rights of guest workers./.
