In June alone, more than 12,600 Vietnamese labourers went abroad, mostly to Japan and Taiwan.
The same month, Vietnam and the RoK signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed to boost their labor cooperation under the Employment Permit System (EPS) Program.
For Vietnamese guest workers, the RoK is a high-income and close-to-culture market, so it attracts many workers from the Southeast Asian nation.
The average income of workers in the RoK ranges from 1,500 - 2,000 USD per month. The EPS program brings many high-income jobs to Vietnamese workers as well as contributes to the RoK’s development.
For 2023, the country set a target to send 110,000 workers abroad.
Up to now, the labour export market has been increasingly open, including not only in traditional, low-income markets but has opened up many opportunities for high-income jobs in difficult markets.
This is not only an opportunity to realize poverty reduction goals but also a key to improving the quality of human resources.
To support workers to work abroad, the Government has many support policies such as vocational training, loans, skills training, etc./.
