Over 65,000 workers sent abroad in five months

The total number of Vietnamese workers included more than 19,000 female workers, equivalent to 52.68% of the 2024 plan.

Vietnam set a goal to send about 125,000 workers abroad under contracts in 2024.

The markets that received the largest number of Vietnamese workers in the past five months, were Japan with 35,208 workers, Taiwan (China) with 21,602 workers and the Republic of Korea with 5,209 workers.

Since early this year, many programmes on sending Vietnamese workers abroad under contracts have been implemented, including the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Australian and the Vietnamese governments, on supporting Vietnamese citizens to work in the agricultural industry in Australia and the signing of an agreement with Japan, on the supply of Vietnamese nursing interns to the country.
