50,000 - 60,000 workers leaving Dong Nai is a fairly large number. For a long time, Dong Nai has been an industrial province attracting workers from many localities, now there has been a shift and if it continues, it will lead to a labor crisis.
According to the representative of the Management Board of Industrial Parks of Dong Nai province, the formation of industrial parks in the Central and Northern provinces will make it easier for workers to move to their hometowns in these provinces to live and work compared to their current life in cramped boarding houses.
There are two points worth noting in the above explanation. The first is that the provinces in the Central and Northern regions have formed industrial zones. These industrial zones attract workers and laborers from these localities who have long been working in the Southern provinces, now return to their homeland, "leaving agriculture but not leaving home".
Working as a worker in an industrial park in your hometown saves you a lot of money and gives you the opportunity to accumulate savings. Workers who live far from home, even when traveling home to visit their families during the holidays, also spend a lot of money on transportation.
Second, many boarding houses in Dong Nai are shabby, lacking in living conditions, and the living environment is not good for health, which is why workers do not want to stay, and have better opportunities than leaving.
The above analysis shows that the phenomenon of labor migration from Dong Nai to other provinces is a good sign. The provinces in the Central Highlands, when forming highways, will open many factories and industrial parks, attracting labor. Competition in the labor market will create job opportunities for workers to choose, places with higher salaries and better living conditions will recruit workers.
The movement of tens of thousands of workers from Dong Nai is also a warning bell not only for this locality, but also for all the industrial provinces and cities in the South. With the advantage of the "dynamic triangle", for many years of concentrating export processing zones and industrial parks, workers from everywhere flocked to find jobs. But now everything is different, when the Northern, Central and Central Highlands regions are developing industry, competition for human resources has begun.
However, if localities want to attract workers back, they must rectify previous limitations, most specifically accommodation for workers and schools for their children. In addition, improving wages, meal quality and other benefits are things that businesses must consider.
When localities develop relatively evenly, workers will have more choices to work and enjoy the highest benefits. I hope so.
