Vietnam suggested to improve labour quality for sucessful integration
During a workshop for Vietnam’s global integration in Hanoi on October 24, the International Labour Organisation suggested the nation take comprehensive and continuous measures to improve labour productivity, social dialogue and working conditions.
At the workshop jointly organised by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs in Hanoi on October 24, social dialogue, labour productivity and working conditions play an important role in meeting the requirements of the production globalisation.
Deputy Minister of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs Doan Mau Diep said that it is time for the Vietnamese government to review its policies in these fields in order to raise productivity and create more favourable working conditions for labourers.
Participants stressed Vietnam’s intensive regional and international integration, including in labour and social affairs, in which the country joins the international labour distribution, the global supply chain and requiring the protection of rights and interests of labourers.
Vietnam also engages in ensuring social security, promoting social equality and complying with common rules, including UN conventions and international labour standards.
Delegates highlighted Vietnam's benefits that will gain from the global integration such as increasing foreign investment, bigger labour market, technology transfer, and labour productivity enhancement.
They also mentioned challenges facing Vietnam in improving productivity and working conditions and promoting social dialogues with both big companies and small- and medium-sized enterprises.
Labour productivity, social dialogue and working conditions are the key factors for economic growth and sustainable development for all stakeholders, according to the ILO. The organisation suggested Vietnam take comprehensive and continuous measures to improve them.
ILO Director General in Vietnam Chang-hee Lee stressed the need for a competitive economy to ensure sustainable livelihood for the working-age population.
The country also needs a sustainable business environment and flexible labour market regulations to minimise negative impacts of outside shocks on labourers, the ILO Director said.
Vietnam, as a member of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Europe-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), has to revise its Law on Labour in accordance with the ILO’s Declaration 1998 on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, he added.
Swiss Ambassador to Vietnam Beatrice Maser Mallor noted that promoting social dialogue, increasing labour productivity and improving working conditions play a significant role in meeting the requirements of the production globalisation, thus contributing to sustainable and comprehensive growth.
