Under the strategy, Vietnam will join international agreements in the field to serve the demands of employers and employees in the international integration period.
According to the strategy, the sector has been asked to perfect social and health insurance policies and their implementation for labourers in bilateral and multilateral agreements, helping narrow its gap with other nations in the region.
In addition, a modern social insurance management model is expected to be finished by 2030, meeting the globe’s trend of the free flow of labour while ensuring all Vietnamese citizens, including overseas Vietnamese, will benefit from social and health insurances.
