INTRODUCE

Statistics from the General Statistics Office show that the labor and employment situation in 2023 shows many signs of improvement when workers have jobs and the average income of workers increases, the unemployment rate and unemployment rate increase. The underemployment rate among the working age population decreased. However, the general picture of the current labor market shows that quality and labor have not met the labor demand of a modern, flexible, sustainable and integrated labor market; The shift in employment structure between the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sector, the industrial and construction sector, and the service sector seems to be slowing down this year; Although the number of working workers tends to increase, the labor market has not seen any improvement in labor quality as the number of informal workers working in precarious, unstable jobs still accounts for a large proportion. large… Therefore, clarifying the current situation and remaining problems of the labor market in the current period, in order to have adjustment solutions, is a necessary issue.

Some inadequacies in Vietnam's labor and employment picture

Firstly, in terms of quality, labor supply still has many shortcomings and limitations, not meeting the labor demand of a modern, flexible, sustainable and integrated labor market (about 38 million unemployed workers). through training from primary level upwards). This number shows that there is no small challenge in improving the technical and professional qualifications of workers.

Second, the shift in employment structure between the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sector, the industrial and construction sector, and the service sector seems to be slowing down this year. If in 2020 and 2022, the proportion of labor in the agricultural sector decreases by 1.0 percentage points and 1.6 percentage points, respectively, and increases correspondingly in the remaining two sectors (industrial and construction sectors). construction sector increases by 0.5 percentage points and increases by 0.3 percentage points; the service sector increases by 0.5 percentage points and increases by 1.2 percentage points), then by 2023, the proportion of labor in the industry Agriculture, forestry and fisheries decreased more slowly, only 0.6 percentage points; The industrial and construction sector increased by 0.1 percentage points; The service sector increased by 0.6 percentage points [1, 2].

Third, the underemployment rate among the working age population for the whole year 2023 will decrease by 0.02 percentage points, but calculated on a quarterly basis, the underemployment rate will only decrease in the first quarter; For the rest, the second quarter increased by 0.1%, the second quarter increased by 0.14%, and the fourth quarter increased by 0.01%. Besides, the youth unemployment rate in urban areas is 10.20%, 3.91 percentage points higher than that in rural areas. [1, 2].

Fourth, according to data from the General Statistics Office, the number of workers not using their full potential is 2.3 million people. The rate of labor not using its full potential in 2023 is 4.3%. The rate of labor not using its full potential is a comprehensive indicator indicating the degree of “misalignment” between labor supply and demand in the market; reflects the oversupply of labor. Under normal economic development conditions, the rate of underutilized labor potential always exists and often increases when the market is subject to socio-economic shocks.

Fifth, after a long period of epidemic, businesses are facing a shortage of orders due to the general impact of global difficulties, such as: monetary policy, reduced purchasing power, in addition to production costs. production, raw material prices increased sharply. With the above difficulties, many businesses have cut labor and reduced workers' working hours, which has greatly affected the lives of workers.

SOLUTIONS IN THE NEXT TIME

Firstly, the Government, ministries and branches more carefully evaluate the data of newly established enterprises and enterprises requesting to temporarily suspend operations to have specific solutions in vocational training and supporting workers to find new job fields. do accordingly; Further evaluate the impact of reducing the number of jobs, especially in industries with a workforce and young workers.

Second, workers need to promote discipline and discipline, as well as efficiency in production and business, thereby helping businesses reduce costs, but still be able to meet the requirements to increase costs. production leader, can return to better production and business. Workers also need to be active and proactive in training to improve their knowledge and qualifications, and actively participate in training classes to redirect their search for jobs in suitable occupations, especially those who are currently working in the field. being laid off, postponing work. From there, we can adapt to a more dynamic and higher quality labor market in the coming time.

Third, businesses need to try to support workers in improving productivity and efficiency; Trade unions get involved, connect businesses with workers, or consult between the two sides to suit their interests. From there, employees and employers can cooperate with each other in solving jobs as well as ensuring social security./.
