About 650,000 Vietnamese people were working in more than 40 countries and territories worldwide, according to statistics from the Department of Overseas Labour under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA).
In 2019, the country sent 152,530 labourers abroad, surpassing the year’s plan by 27.1%. Japan was the biggest recipient with nearly 83,000 labourers, followed by Taiwan with 54,480, South Korea with 7,215, Romania with 3,478, and Saudi Arabia with 1,375.
2019 was the fourth consecutive year Vietnam sent more than 120,000 workers overseas, said Director of the Overseas Labour Department Tong Hai Nam.
To date, 421 businesses have gained licences to provide overseas employment services.
Nam added that some traditional markets still have high demand for workers, including Japan, Taiwan and South Korea, along with those in Europe like Russia, Romania, Germany, Poland, Latvia and Austria.
By the end of 2019, more than 1,000 Vietnamese nurses had left to study and work in Germany. The Skilled Workers’ Immigration Act of Germany, which will take effect this March, allows local firms to receive non-EU workers in the fields of construction, electricity, mechanics, agriculture, health care and nursing.
This year, MOLISA expects to sign a cooperation deal with Germany’s employment agency on the reception of skilled workers in areas the country has high demand for.
Even though Vietnam has surpassed the targets for the last four years, the country still only set a target of sending 130,000 guests workers in 2020 to markets that promised high and stable incomes, said MOLISA Minister Dao Ngoc Dung, adding that being able to work in Germany would open up opportunities for the entire European market.
He has ordered the Overseas Labour Department to keep a close watch on the situations in the Middle East, given recent escalating developments, and asked firms to take protective measures — including evacuation — for labourers when needed.
