Senior women in rural and ethnic minority areas are considered an abundant labour workforce, as people in the working age have often worked far away from home in recent years. Therefore, many units, departments, sectors and cooperatives in Hoa Binh have worked with enterprises inside and outside the province to generate jobs for the local women.

working.

incomes for them. Currently, the cooperative is generating jobs for 600
labourers with 90% of whom are ethnic women," Bay said.

cooperatives have been created jobs for many ethnic women.
Ha Thi Xien, a resident of Chieng Chau commune's Chieng Chau hamlet, shared

health.
"I have more free time after finishing daily domestic work. Many local
women in the commune like me. I found a job suitable for my health," she
said. Work at the Hoa Ban brocade weaving cooperative in Chieng Chau generates
a stable income for Xien. She expressed her hope that many units and businesses
will have more orders and a variety of products suitable for women in the same
age group with her, thus helping stabilise their lives while preseving the
traditional trade.
In addition to brocade weaving, many trades have been promoted at local
cooperatives such as aloe vera planting, for-export handicraft making and pig
raising, among others, helping generate incomes while stabilising lives for
local senior ethnic women.
