Japan remained the top importer of manpower from Vietnam, recruiting 62,722 workers, followed by Taiwan (China) with 48,533 workers, and the Republic of Korea (RoK) with 10,877 workers.
Other destinations for Vietnamese workers included mainland China with 1,920 workers, Singapore with 1,774 workers, and Romania with 824 workers.
Vietnam initially set a target to send 125,000 laborers abroad under contractual agreements this year.
In October alone, 16,744 laborers left Vietnam for overseas employments, with Japan, Taiwan, and the RoK as the largest recipients, accepting 6,156, 4,483, and 4,601 workers, respectively.
The department attributed the early fulfillment of the target to the stability of traditional labor markets, such as Taiwan, Japan, and the RoK, which have continued to employ a large number of Vietnamese workers throughout the January-October period.
At the same time, the labor ministry has been expanding its reach to European labor markets, which offer higher incomes and jobs aligned with the skills of Vietnamese workers.
A ministry representative noted that measures to stabilize and expand the overseas labor market have recently been strengthened. The selection, training, and deployment of workers under labor contracts are being managed more rigorously, while efforts to disseminate information and policies regarding overseas employment have been enhanced.
