Labour Market Assessment: Identifying Opportunities for Vulnerable Vietnamese from Selected Provinces of Viet Nam

Under the project Tackling Modern Slavery in Viet Nam funded by the UK Home Office, IOM Viet Nam conducted a labour market assessment in five key target provinces in Viet Nam (Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Nghe An, Ha Tinh and Quang Binh). The aims of the assessment were as follows: (a) understand the nature of labour and skills demand and supply in these areas; (b) identify the key sectors that influence the type and quantity of employment opportunities; and (c) identify the socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 on the local labour market in the perspectives of the employer, government and employee.
