Speaking at the opening of the conference, Mr. Pham Hoai Phuong - Chairman of the Vietnam Construction Trade Union - said that by the end of 2025, the entire Construction industry had 34,876 female union members, accounting for 26.8% of the total number of union members in the entire industry. Not only increasing in quantity, the quality of the female workforce has also made clear progress, especially in the context of digital transformation and integration requirements.
The highlight in the past 5 years is that the Vietnam Construction Trade Union has moved the emulation movement away from formality, to depth, closely linked to professional tasks and production and business efficiency of each unit.
The emulation movement "Good at state affairs" has made strong progress, closely linked to professional tasks and the digital transformation roadmap of the industry. More than 1,130 technical innovation initiatives with a profit value of over 30 billion VND are clear proof of the intelligence, bravery and creative spirit of female workers. The proportion of women with university and postgraduate degrees has increased. Many female engineers and technical staff have mastered modern technologies such as BIM, digital management, contributing to improving productivity, quality and business efficiency.
Along with that, the "Taking care of housework" movement continues to be maintained and spread widely. Every year, over 92% of female union members achieve emulation titles. Over 95% of families achieve the title "Cultural Family". Despite facing the "double pressure" of work and family, female union members and workers still always maintain the role of wives and mothers, building a happy and progressive home.
Speaking at the conference, Ms. Thai Thu Xuong - Standing Vice President of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor - praised and highly appreciated the outstanding results that the Vietnam Construction Trade Union has achieved in implementing the emulation movement "Good at work, good at home" in the recent period.
