Hanoi (VNA) – The capital city of Hanoi has created jobs for 113,418 workers in the first six months of this year, achieving 70% of the year’s plan thanks to the implementation of numerous solutions, including increasing the frequency of job fairs, according to the municipal Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs.

The Hanoi Employment Service Centre (HESC) has organised 124 job fairs during the review period with the participation of 3,635 enterprises, during which more than 8,800 people were recruited.

The centre has also coordinated with enterprises and vocational education institutions to speed up the training of labourers. Students and trainees have been helped to find jobs right after graduation.

However, the number of jobs generated in the first six months of 2023 fell by 4.5% compared to the same period last year. The decrease in job creation is attributed to difficulties faced by many businesses as a result of a decline in orders from major markets, rising fuel prices and high interest rates.

A shortage of staff for labour and employment affairs in some localities has resulted in a low number of workers who take part in vocational training.

To achieve the target of helping 162,000 workers find employment this year, the municipal Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs will suggest the city’s administration issue a plan on collecting labour market information for 2023.

The department will direct the HESC to gather and provide information on recruitment and labour export through various channels for labourers and increase orientation work for vocational training and employment opportunities for workers.

Last year, Hanoi created jobs for 203,027 people, surpassing the set target of 160,000 people a year by 2025. Of the total, more than 116,742 people found jobs through employment counseling services, and 62,700 others obtain employment through preferential loans for job generation./.
