Vietnam Strengthens Regional Cooperation on Labour and Workforce Development
Vietnam has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening regional cooperation on labour management, workforce development, and cross-border employment frameworks, according to recent updates reported by VietnamPlus.
The report highlights Vietnam’s focus on improving labour quality, enhancing vocational training, and ensuring better governance of overseas employment. Authorities emphasised the importance of cooperation between governments, agencies, and businesses to protect workers’ rights while meeting labour market demands.
Policy Insight:
Vietnam’s approach reflects a broader ASEAN trend — shifting from volume-driven labour supply to skills-based, regulated, and compliant workforce systems. This direction aligns with stricter labour governance seen across Southeast Asia.
Industry Impact:
For employers and manpower agencies, this signals increasing emphasis on:
- Skilled worker deployment
- Regulatory compliance across borders
- Transparent recruitment and employment practices
Such developments may influence future labour sourcing strategies and bilateral labour arrangements in the region.
