Vietnam’s Growing Labor Export: 125,000 Workers to Be Sent Abroad in 2024

In 2024, Vietnam plans to send 125,000 workers abroad as part of its ongoing labor export strategy. With demand for skilled labor rising in international markets such as Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, this move aims to address labor shortages while providing Vietnamese workers with high-income opportunities.



The Rising Demand for Vietnamese Laborers

Vietnam’s labor export sector continues to thrive, driven by high demand in foreign markets. Countries like Japan and South Korea require workers in fields such as construction, manufacturing, and agriculture. In response to this, the Vietnamese government has set an ambitious target to send 125,000 workers abroad in 2024. This effort is aligned with Vietnam’s broader economic strategy to strengthen its labor force and address skill gaps in key industries.

Prioritizing Disadvantaged Areas

The Vietnamese government has committed to prioritizing labor export from economically disadvantaged regions. This approach not only helps in distributing opportunities more equitably across the country but also contributes to reducing local unemployment rates. By targeting areas with fewer job prospects, the government aims to improve the livelihoods of people who are often left behind in economic development.

Record Success in 2023

In 2023, Vietnam surpassed expectations by sending over 159,000 workers abroad. This success underscores the increasing global demand for Vietnamese labor and reflects the country's growing influence in the international job market. The 2024 plan builds upon this success, demonstrating Vietnam's commitment to maintaining and expanding its presence in the global labor export sector.

Economic Benefits for Vietnam

Sending workers abroad not only benefits individual workers but also contributes to the national economy. Workers remit a significant portion of their earnings back home, which helps boost local economies, particularly in rural areas. Additionally, by gaining experience abroad, these workers acquire skills that can be transferred back to Vietnam, strengthening the local workforce and further promoting economic development.

Challenges and Opportunities Ahead

While the labor export strategy has proven successful, it also faces challenges. Ensuring fair working conditions and protecting workers’ rights remain top priorities. To address these, the government must continue negotiating better labor agreements with host countries, ensuring workers are treated fairly and compensated adequately for their contributions.

Additionally, Vietnam is focusing on improving the skills of workers to meet the evolving demands of international markets. By offering training in technical skills and language proficiency, Vietnam is aiming to send not just manual laborers
