However, the domestic labor market has been hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and there are a lot of short and long-term challenges, he said.

“Today’s conference reviews what we have achieved and seeks ways to overcome shortcomings and weaknesses. We must make thorough preparations to proactively respond to any contingencies in the labor market,” said PM Chinh.

Topics for discussion at the conference included ensuring high-quality human resources for rapid and sustainable socio-economic development, fine-tuning labor policies, and sharing experience in labor market development
