(VOV) – Despite having sent many guest workers abroad, Vietnam has yet to devise specific policies to assist in their reintegration into the domestic labour market upon returning home.

- Guest workers in Taiwan to pay new insurance fees
A June 27 seminar in Hanoi heard that Vietnam has sent around 90,000 workers abroad annually in recent years with a similar number of returnees who remit home between US$1.8-2 billion.
Many seminars have been held to discuss how to make full use of the returnees’ remittances and skills they learnt. However, Vietnam has yet to introduce specific measures to help returnees integrate well into the local labour market.
Seminar participants examined guest worker policies and measures to facilitate their integration, as well as increasing cooperation among relevant stakeholders, such as the Government, local administration, businesses and workers.
They also talked about workers’ integration policy and reality through recent research, shared international experience in supporting workers in reintegrating in labour market and helped them start-up business.
They proposed that relevant ministries and agencies continue to complete legislation and support policy for guest workers, build database on returnees, and disseminate information on incentives for them.
