Labor export in Quang Tri increased

Today, February 22, the leader of the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs said that in 2023, the province created jobs for 13,989 workers (116.6% of the plan), of which 2,800 people were exported to work under contracts. The main labor export market is Japan (accounting for 54%), the rest are Taiwan, Korea...

According to statistics from the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, the number of exported workers increases rapidly every year. Specifically, in 2016, there were only 747 workers going abroad to work under contracts, but by the end of 2023, there were 14,592 people.

According to a survey by the relevant authorities, workers working abroad have much higher incomes than domestic workers. The amount of remittances sent to the province from workers working abroad under contract has increased gradually each year, contributing to the goal of sustainable poverty reduction and socio-economic development of the province.

The Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs said that the effectiveness of labor export is very clear, but for many reasons, labor export is not commensurate with the potential of the locality. Among them, difficulties in mobilizing capital for labor export, low quality of skills, a number of young people have a mentality of being content with their lot and afraid of being away from their families... are the main reasons.
