(HBO) – The working age population in rural areas in Hoa Binh account for 80 percent of the province’s workforce. Therefore, creating jobs for them is very important to socio-economic development in rural areas. Over the years, the province has given great attention to job generation for rural labourers, thus contributing to ensuring social security.

The employment rate is the 12th criterion among the 19 criteria of new-style rural areas. A commune will complete the criterion when the employment rate among the local working age population is at least 90 percent.

Labourers in Trung Minh commune of Hoa Binh city receive training in Chit broom making, helping them have stable jobs and income.

Each year, specific measures have been applied to create jobs for labourers in localities across the province, including supporting the creation of jobs or self-employment through the National Fund For Employment, assisting labourers in seeking jobs abroad, and providing labourers, especially women and the disabled, with employment consultations.

Besides, the authorities invited enterprises in and outside the province to come to localities to give consultations and recruit workers.

At the same time, investment projects in the province have also created tens of thousands of jobs, raising the total number of labourers working in enterprises and other production and business facilities to about 60,000.

In the 2010-2019 period, the province has created jobs for more than 177,000 labourers, or an average of 16,000 each year, of whom 4,000 have been sent to work abroad. The ratio of unemployment in urban areas is under 3 percent.

So far, 191 out of all 191 communes across the province have reached the criterion in employment.

In 2020 and beyond, the province aims to make breakthroughs in vocational training quality towards meeting national and ASEAN standards, with the goal of training skilled workers in production, business and services who must also have good professional ethics, meeting the demand of both the domestic and foreign labour markets./.
