NDO - One month after COVID-19 social distancing measures were lifted, about 70-75% of enterprises and their employees have returned to work, according to Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Dao Ngoc Dung.


During a conference on reviving the Vietnamese labour market on November 3, Dung noted that some localities had recorded work resumption rates of up to 90%.

He spoke highly of local authorities’ proactiveness in introducing various policies to support those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dung underlined that such prompt and effective policies have helped retain workers and ensure their normal lives.

According to Minister Dung, the labour market could be restored to pre-outbreak levels by the end of the first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2022 if the current situation is maintained and vaccination is accelerated.

At the conference, he asked local authorities to accept workers returning home and introduce appropriate policies to create jobs for those who want to remain.

He also suggested that enterprises should carry out sound policies to retain workers by keeping frequent contact with them and providing support for those whose jobs are still suspended.
