The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs
(MoLISA) aims to create more than 1.6 million new jobs for laborers, including
105,000 people sent to work abroad, said Minister Dao Ngoc Dung.
The ratio of workers registering to
buy social insurance is hoped to hit 25-27 percent.
In social welfare, about 99 percent
of families who are preferential policy beneficiaries will have their living
standards raised to similar or higher than average living standards of other
households in their area.
The ministry also aims to help 82
percent of the disabled access at least one social service and support 87
percent of disadvantaged children nationwide.
In 2016, more than 1.6 million
laborers were provided with jobs, including 1.5 million domestic employees and
126,000 guest workers, up 1 percent and nearly 10 percent year-on-year,
respectively.
A total of 1.9 million people
joined vocational training programs, with 1.8 million graduating, fulfilling
91.8 percent and 98.9 percent of targets.
The rates of poor and near poor
households nationwide decreased by 1.3-1.5 percent to between 8.58-8.38 percent
compared to the end of 2015.
