Mr. Phan Van Thang - Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Council (People's Council) of Dong Thap province - shared:
- Dong Thap Province determines that sending workers to work abroad for a limited time under contract is an important solution in the process of implementing the target program to create jobs and reduce poverty sustainably. .
Since 2014, Dong Thap has sent more than 15,500 workers to work abroad under contracts (including 6,700 female workers). The largest concentration of laborers working abroad is in the Japanese market accounting for 76%, Taiwan (China) accounting for 13%, Korea accounting for 8%; The remaining other markets account for 3% of the total number of workers sent.
Let's look back at 10 years of efforts in sending laborers to work abroad under the motto "Work for hire, return to be your own boss", what values has Dong Thap province acquired, sir?
- Firstly, it is about economic value, in which the most practical effect comes from labor's income. If the average employee goes to work in Japan and Korea after deducting the remaining expenses, it is about 20 - 25 million VND/month, creating a significant source of income for families, especially families. poor, difficult.
It is estimated that the average income that workers in the whole province send home to their families each year is more than 1,300 billion VND. Since then, it has improved income and raised the living standards of local people, greatly contributing to the province's socio-economic development plan.
Second is the social value, employees accumulate very useful knowledge from advanced technology of developed countries. They are also trained and honed their skills in production and business, gain experience, improve their skills and expertise to return home to apply in production labor and family economic development. , stabilize life, contribute to reducing evils in society.
That is the effort and responsibility of the branches and levels in the political system, especially the dynamism and creativity of the advisory agency, directly the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs (LISA). ) Dong Thap province, Dong Thap Employment Service Center (DVVL), People's Committees (People's Committees) of districts and cities and especially the consensus and response of people in the province.
In the context of the foreign labor market being invested in by many countries, what tasks and solutions has Dong Thap province set to promote human resources to work abroad in the coming time?
Currently, we are faced with new requirements and tasks, with many opportunities, advantages, difficulties, and challenges mixed together. The cause of international integration and national development is moving into a new phase, with higher requirements, becoming more in-depth, more difficult, and more complicated than before. Therefore, the work of sending workers to work abroad for a limited period of time must be organized more closely and synchronously.
The province has thoroughly grasped the ideology of not simply bringing unskilled workers to access new markets, but also focusing on orienting education so that workers can prepare a good mindset to return home to start a career. For example, workers with skills and knowledge in a particular field will be given priority in that field to quickly access and learn advanced techniques from your country. This helps prepare a good mindset for employees, encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit to help develop the province.
We also strengthen diplomatic relationships, research, survey and expand foreign labor markets, research towards the labor markets of Australia, Germany, Canada, Poland... with interest in implementing well. Appraisal and selection of orders in accordance with the situation and conditions of the labor force.
- Thank you!
