During the first six months of 2015, 56,173 Vietnamese laborers, including 16,942 women, were employed overseas, a 1.7% increase compared with the same period last year.
Taiwan (China) is the top market for Vietnamese workers with 7,505 laborers, followed by Japan (with 2,324 workers), the Republic of Korea, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, besides Qatar.
The MOLISA has signed and implemented a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Republic of Korea on sending Vietnamese workers to that country under the Employment Permit System (EPS). The preparation for the signing of MoUs between Viet Nam and Thailand, and Viet Nam and Malaysia on labor cooperation is under way.
The Department of Overseas Labor (DOLAB) under the MOLISA supported enterprises to carry out contracts on sending laborers to Saudi Arabia and Qatar and in dispatching apprentices to Japan in the construction and shipbuilding sectors since April.
The department has also implemented training programs on vocational skills, foreign languages and other necessary knowledge required by people who want to work as domestic workers in Taiwan.
Viet Nam and Germany have signed a letter of intent regarding Vietnamese citizens working in Germany as caregivers. This is a good opportunity to increase the number of Vietnamese workers going to that country to between 500 and 700 per year.
