Vietnam’s labor exports in five months top 28,000
More than 28,000 Vietnamese workers have been sent to work abroad in the first five months of the year, the Overseas Labor Management Department said Wednesday.
The number meets 31 percent of the year’s target and shows a 21 percent fall year-on-year, according to the department.
These figures mean the country will face considerable difficulty in achieving the target of sending 90,000 local workers abroad this year, said the department under the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs.
Taiwan headed the list of countries and territories receiving Vietnamese workers this year (6,844), followed by South Korea (3,500) and Japan (2,200).
Meanwhile, since last October, more than 8,000 Vietnamese workers have had to return home before the end of their labor contracts due to the world economic crisis, the department said.
