Binh Dinh plans to export nearly 1,000 laborers this year, focusing on the quality improvement and laborers’ rights.
Binh Dinh exported only 519 laborers last year. This figure was low because the labor export in Binh Dinh was absolutely up to enterprises from other provinces. Also, the labor export market faced many difficulties, such as unstable work and low wage; meanwhile, the expenditure for other markets was still high.
Since early 2008, many labor export enterprises have asked Job Introduction Centers in Binh Dinh to recruit a large number of laborers working in Malaysia. The centers have, however, considered and carefully selected to avoid resulting in disadvantages for laborers.
Previously, the number of laborers working in Malaysia accounted for 80 percent but this figure has decreased to 14-15 percent recently. If enterprises export laborers to Malaysia, they have to choose factories providing stable works and reasonable wage.
In early 2008, the labor export in Binh Dinh focused on the quality. Job Introduction Centers are concerned of those who really want to work abroad. They help consult, introduce markets and conditions for laborers to choose suitable markets.
There have been 32 laborers exported to Japan and Korea this year, according to the report by Binh Dinh Department of Labor-War Invalids – Social Welfare.
To make the labor export become effective, Job Introduction Centers have intensified their activities. Relevant bodies and agencies have closely cooperated with each other to meet demands. Vocational training and foreign languages courses will be also paid attention to.
