This year, the Department of Overseas Labour under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs aims to send 90,000 labourers abroad to work under contract, while expanding the market for Vietnamese labour to Europe and Australia.
Japan has continued to be the largest market for Vietnamese labourers so far, and it is expected to offer many more job opportunities with high income in the remaining months of the year.
Vietnam sent 116,675 workers, including 41,636 females, to foreign countries and territories in the first 10 months of this year, exceeding the yearly plan by 6.07 percent.
