Impact assessment of employment policies for returning Vietnamese migrant workers on their employment and income

Abstract

This study was conducted to assess the impact of employment policies on returning Vietnamese migrant workers’ employment and income. An analysis of the primary data collected from the survey with nearly 500 returning migrant workers in five provinces with the highest number of migrant workers nationwide shows that the employment policies for returning Vietnamese migrant workers have created positive impact on their job seeking and income generation. The research findings should be one of the bases for the central and local governmental management agencies to take timely measures to refine and to enforce the employment policies for returning Vietnamese migrant workers.
