Secretary of the district’s Youth Union Ha Van Linh said the district has 30 union’s chapters, including 16 at communal and township level, 14 sub-chapters with over 10,000 members. To earn income, many members have chosen to move to cities and provinces with industrial parks, but others still seek to earn livelihoods in the homeland. To start a successful business, many of them met difficulties in capital, experience and science-technology. Via grasping their aspirations, the union offered support to them in start-up campaign.
