Nearly 80,000 workers sent abroad in 11 months
(VOV) - As many as 78,664 workers were sent abroad after the first 11 months of this year, equivalent to 92.5 percent of the yearly target.
According to the Overseas Worker Management Department, traditional markets such as Taiwan, Japan and Malaysia remain major destinations for Vietnamese workers.
The number of workers sent to Laos and Cambodia doubled, providing a springboard for fulfilling this year’s target.
The country has resumed the sending of workers to the Republic of Korea (RoK) following a suspension since early this year, with 697 labourers returning to the RoK in November.
The Department has earlier taken labour export management measures, sanctioned and suspended the operation of 14 businesses in the field.
