Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age. It is home to 6,000 businesses and production facilities, providing employment for over 100,000 workers. The remaining workforce is engaged in informal jobs, works in enterprises outside the province, or contributes to agro-forestry-fisheries. Additionally, around 3,000 workers are employed abroad.

 


 Since its operations in 2023, Hong An Footwear JSC in Lien Son commune, Luong Son district, has generated jobs to 200 local workers.

Compared to the period before 2021, the number of workers employed abroad under fixed-term contracts has surged, particularly in Japan and Taiwan. They are engaged in various fields, including manufacturing (mechanical engineering, apparel, footwear, and electronics assembling), construction, agriculture, fisheries, and caregiving services for the elderly, patients, and households. Overseas employment offers stable and relatively high income, favorable working and living conditions, and comprehensive welfare benefits. Many young workers from localities join programs designed to send trainees and workers to Japan, highlighting the appeal of these opportunities.

In 2024, the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (DoLISA) successfully held a job fair, connecting labour supply and demand. The event attracted 31 enterprises in and outside the province and over 1,000 job seekers. Workers were also supported with loan policies to facilitate overseas employment under fixed-term contracts. 

Under the IM Japan programme, DoLISA coordinated the selection of female technical trainees for internships in Japan, as well as caregivers and nurses for employment in Japan and Germany. The department also facilitated the recruitment of workers for 36 businesses targeting markets in Japan, Taiwan, Poland, Hungary, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. It assisted seven enterprises in recruiting workers for companies and industrial zones in the province, as well as in Hung Yen province and Hanoi. It also helped Vietnamese laborers secure jobs in companies and contractors requiring foreign workers in certain provinces.

DoLISA collaborated to verify cases of workers fleeing their workplaces abroad, particularly in Taiwan. Efforts were also made to raise awareness and prevent scams related to agricultural employment in Australia. The department partnered with other agencies and local authorities to combat fake information regarding labor export opportunities.
