Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has praised the Ministry of Labour, War
Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) for increasing social welfare
spending in 2012, despite difficulties during the year.
“Outcomes in ensuring social security have contributed greatly to social stability,” said Dung at a MoLISA video conference reviewing its 2012 tasks in Hanoi on January 7.
Speaking at the event, MoLISA Deputy Minister Nguyen Thanh Hoa said the ministry created 1.52 million new jobs and held vocational training courses for 1.493 million people last year.
It also provided regular allowances to 1.5 million people who rendered great services to the country, and health insurance cards to 2.53 million people.
Programmes to reduce poverty were implemented across the country. Vietnam’s rate of poor households fell by 1.76 percent in 2012 to an estimated 10 percent.
Hoa also acknowledged the ministry’s shortcomings and limitations in 2012, such as the low number of working programmes and projects, inefficient vocational training, the development of the labour market and complicated developments in drug crime and prostitution.
PM Dung agreed with the ministry’s objectives and tasks set for this year, including 1.6 million new jobs, increasing the number of workers with social insurance to over 11 million, and providing vocational training for 1.9 million people.
In 2013, 98.5 percent of policy beneficiaries and people that served the nation will see their living standards improved, and the country’s poverty rate is expected to decrease by 2 percent.
The ministry will assist people affected by natural disasters and poor harvests, and ensure the rights of women and children.
Dung asked the MoLISA to take more drastic measures to reduce poverty, especially in remote regions and areas where ethnic groups live.
The ministry should assess poor households in order to take suitable support measures, he said.
It also needs to implement the 2011-2020 Vocational Training Development Strategy, and finalise a State management mechanism for vocational training, he added.
The PM emphasised the importance of implementing preferential policies for those who rendered great services to the nation, and the repatriation of the remains of volunteer soldiers who died in Laos and Cambodia.
In addition, the ministry should manage Vietnamese guest workers as well as foreign workers in Vietnam, he said.-VNA
