Improving the competitiveness of Vietnamese Labors( Part 2)

 NEW CHALLENGE

Vietnam Manpower JSC- Challange

 First of all, the economy all over the world is recovering, but still unpredictable. Being affected by the sovereign debt crisis in some European countries, the international labor market shrunk and making the competition of labor supply between countries become more and more fierce. At the same time, it also affects to the development of new market as Viet Nam.
Secondly, the opportunity of low-skilled labor recipient countries tends to decrease. The World Bank experts speaking at the Round Table Conference organized by Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Organization for Economic Cooperation Development(
OECD) about Asian labor immigration at Tokyo in 2012, the trends of Asian labor immigration in recent 5 years has moved toward developing countries such as America, Canada, Australia, Sweden….due to high-income and high labor receiving standard as well as language proficiency and skill. According to the analysis of Asian ILO international labor organization expert, the average income of Vietnam Labor is in the lowest , only higher than Lao while the average age of our migrant workers are quite young. It estimated that the age of Vietnamese aging labor force in 2030 will be much slower than China and Thailand. However, the number of Vietnamese unskilled labor is high. Meanwhile, the trend for low-skilled labor in the recipient countries decrease from 40% ( of total employment) in 2006 to 31% in 2010. This shows that we need to enhance training labor skills for the competitiveness of Vietnam Labor in the coming period, also seizing high-quality job opportunities.
 Thirdly,Viet Nam has no longer the advantage of cheap labor. For Viet Nam labor, working abroad without skills means not have not guaranteed working condition and low wage Now, job abroad with modest income is not attractive for workers, even workers in poor area. Vietnam service businesses do not want to exploit the labor supply line common due to lack of economic efficiency. 
Fourth, Vietnamese self-discipline and law-abide attitude is still weak. Psychology is aimed to high-income markets, but these markets often require high-standard as Korea, Japan while the workmanship is not high, and not meet requirements. Especially, the discipline and observation of the law is weak. It leads to some serious consequences as leaving out the contract and becoming illegal residents in Korea, Taiwan…because they are not capable of protecting themselves, causing difficulty for state management in this field. Moreover, this problem affects negatively to Vietnamese labor’s images in the eye of employers and making difficulty for the situation of exporting labor in the coming years.
 Fifthly, the capacity of Vietnam service enterprises is still limited. Most of small-medium enterprise still have fragmented activities and not active to plan exploit the market.
