According to official statistics released on July 2 by the under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) Department for Overseas Labour Management (DOLM) most of Vietnam’s major labour export markets are enjoying remarkable growth.



Since January 2014, an additional 16 businesses were licensed to operate in the labour export sector thus bringing the total number of local labour exporters to 196.


Regarding guest worker management in Saudi Arabia, MoLISA asked labour exporters, who shipped more than 200 guest workers, to send at least its one representative overseas to take care of them.


The Ministry required careful recruitment of labourers to work in Saudi Arabia where guest workers should pay due attention to laws, Muslim customs, contract conditions, and climate.


The DOLM has decided to temporarily ban four companies, namely TRACODI, SPSC, Huu Nghi Bac Giang, and HOGAMEX, from sending guest workers to Taiwan from July 1 to 31, 2014 due to their violations that have badly affected workers’ legitimate rights.
