(HBO) – The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many businesses to go bankrupt or struggle with debt, and many workers to lose their jobs over the past two years. The pandemic has also severely affected the poor and disadvantaged groups in society.
The
Hoa Binh branch of Vietnam for Social Policies has recently signed contracts to
provide loans for three enterprises to pay wages for workers who have to stop
working due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, and to restore production
in line with Resolution No. 68 of the Government.
Effectively implementing the "dual goal" of preventing and combating
the pandemic, protecting the people's health while resuming production, and
developing socio-economic in the new normal state - is the target set by the
Government for ministries, branches, and localities.
Recently, businesses and workers in the province are interested in the loan
package to pay salaries for employees who have to stop working and to restore
production. The Hoa Binh branch of Vietnam for Social Policies has coordinated
with relevant sectors to disseminate information on the package as well as
approached businesses to urgently implement the policy. However, only three
businesses in the province have so far received loans with a total amount of
more than 1.4 billion VND (61,330 USD).
The province currently has more than 3,000 enterprises with over 72,000
employees. Due to the impact of the pandemic, nine businesses had to suspend
operation and 75 enterprises had to let some of their employees stop working.
That figure showed that there is a high demand to access the support package in
the spirit of Resolution No. 68.
From the direction of the Prime Minister and the actual implementation of
social security packages in recent years, it can be seen that the
"timely" factor is still an unsolved issue. Thus, it is necessary for
competent agencies to carry out it faster and more responsibly so that the very
humane policy of the Party and State can be put into practice and many
businesses can benefit and receive more doses of "vaccines" amid the
complicated development of the pandemic. If enterprises are
"healthy", the country's economy will develop, workers will have jobs
and social security will be secured.
Creating jobs for labourers in general and young people in particular is currently a focus of the province, with vocational training linked to job creation considered one of the strategic breakthrough solutions.
A total of 30 intergenerational self-help clubs (ISHC) have been established in Hoa Binh province under the project "Reducing Income- and Health-Related Vulnerability of Older Persons in Vietnam" (VIE071) since 2021.
Nguyen Thi Nu, a resident of Thach Ly sub-area in Da Bac township of Da Bac district, has been popular in the area as a simple woman that is rich in compassion. For nearly 10 years, she has spread her kindness through many charity activities to ease difficulties for the needy.
Voluntary blood donation (HMTN) is a noble and humane gesture. 24 years ago, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 43/2000/QD-TTg on mobilizing and encouraging Voluntary blood donation and designated April 7 every year as "All-People Voluntary blood donation Day”. This is an important milestone in the movement of voluntary blood donation, creating a strong change in the awareness and action at all levels of the government and people from all walks of life.
Yen Thuy is aiming to become a new-style rural district by 2025. To achieve this goal, the district has been mobilising the entire political system and local people to early fulfil required criteria.
