REPORT
ON LABOUR FORCE SURVEY
Quarter 2, 2015

Ha Noi, 2015

INTRODUCTION

On 10 November 2014, the General Director of General Statistic Office issued Decision No 1287/QD-TCTK on the 2015 Labour force survey, along with its survey plan. The purpose of the survey was to collect the information on 2015 labor market participation from those people who are 15 years old and above currently residing in Vietnam; regarded as a basic for aggregating and compiling national statistical indicators on labor, employment, unemployment and income. These results would support for ministries and branches assessing and comparing the changes in labour market among quarters within the reference year as well as with those of previous annual labour force surveys conducted by GSO. These results would be also considered as a basic to develop and plan policies on human resource development; activities of investment, production and business accordant with the development trend on labor market; as well as to access and apply International Labor Organization’s updated recommendations on labor and employment, especially in term of “labor under-utilization” into the reality of Vietnam. The statistics would be aggregated quarterly for the national and regional levels; and yearly for the provincial level.

This report would present major findings of labour force survey in quarter 2, 2015 in order to provide information about labour market and employment for users. As a result of the survey coverage on labor market only relating to those people who were 15 years old, currently residing in Vietnam at the survey period, therefore, the indicators on labor and employment presented in this report would mainly be calculated for those persons aged 15 and above. However, due to the demand of researching, assessing and analyzing information about the labour market and employment situation for the working age group (including males aged from 15 to 59 and females aged from 15 to 54), the report would also provide some basic indicators on labor and employment for this group.

The 2015 Labor force survey has received technical supports of International Labor Organization (ILO). GSO highly appreciates these supports

and wishes to continuously receive more supports from ILO in succeeding surveys.

GSO hopes that this report will meet requirements of basic information for social economic policy markers, especially for those who are engaging into the field of labor and employment. We warmly welcome all constructive comments from readers.

Sincere thanks./.

I. SUMMARY * As of Quarter 2, 2015 Vietnam has reached to 70.8 million persons aged 15 and above, of which 53.7 million people joined into the labour force. Even the fact that the urbanization process has been going on, the rural labour force is continuously considered as dominant, currently accounting for 69.7% of total labour force. * The labour force participation rate stood at 76.2%. The considerable difference on labour force participation between rural and urban areas has remained, standing at 10.7 percentage points (69.1% against with 79.8%). Besides, the sex gap on labour force participation has also been found. This participation rate of females was 71.2%, with 10.5 percentage points lower than that of males (81.7%). * As of Quarter 2, 2015 the labour force of whole country was constituted by
52.5 million employed labourers and more than 1.17 million unemployed labourers. * The employment to population ratio of those people aged 15 and above was 74.5%. There was a considerable gap on this ratio between urban and rural. The employment to population ratio in urban areas reached to 66.8%, with
11.6 percentage points lower than that of rural areas. * Based on number of working hours, at the whole country, there were
897.8 thousand underemployed labourers. The underemployed population was decreased about 319.5 thousand labourers, as compared to that of Quarter 1 in 2015. 85.1% of total underemployed population was currently residing in rural areas. * In Quarter 2, 2015, the general unemployment rate has decreased slightly (standing at 2.19%). The unemployed population was supplemented to
301.1 thousand labourers, as compared to that of the same period of 2014, currently reaching to 1177.2 thousand labourers. * The young unemployment rate (for those people aged from 15 to 24) was 6.68%. Number of unemployed youth accounted for 50.3% of total unemployed population. Of which, the urban share was found lower than that of rural areas (45.1% verse 54.9%). Meanwhile, the underemployed youth just accounted for more than one fourth of total underemployed population.

II. MAJOR FINDINGS 1. Labour force
1.1 Size and distribution of labour force and labour force participation rate

As of Quarter 2, 2015, the labour force aged 15 and above in Vietnam reached to 53.7 million people. Despite of the increase on share for urban labour force, approximately 69.7% of the labour force in Vietnam has been residing in rural areas. Three regions occupying the highest relevant proportions namely in descending order as Red River Delta, North and South Central Coast and Mekong River Delta accounted for 62.9% of total labour force. As of Quarter 2, 2015, females constituted about 48.5% (equivalent to
26.05 million persons) to total labour force.

At the national level, the labour force participation rate was 76.2%. The considerable difference on labour force participation between rural and
8

urban has remained about 10.7 percentage points (69.1% against with 79.8%). The labour force participation rate for females stood at 71.2%, with
10.5 percentage points lower than that for males (81.7%). Notably, the highest labour force participation rates were for two mountainous regions, including Northern Midlands and Mountains (84.2%) and Central Highlands (83.7%). Meanwhile, the lowest ones belonged to two most developed social-economic centres of Vietnam, namely Hanoi and Hochiminh city.
1.2 Age structure of labour force

The distribution of the labour force by age group reveals not only the context of demographic fact but also of social-economic situation. The labour force of Vietnam is considered as relatively young, with the considerable share of the 15-39 year old group (currently accounting for 52.2% of total labour force).

Age group

There was considerable difference in age structure of the labour force between urban and rural areas (as shown in Figure 1). The shares of youth (aged 15-24) and elderly (aged 55 and above) living in urban areas were found lower than those of rural areas. In contrast, the proportion of prime working age group (aged 25-54) in urban areas was higher than that of rural areas. This pattern could reflect the fact that the urban youth has joined into the labour market more lately than the rural youth, due to their longer period of
9

schooling. Meanwhile, the rural residents has joined earlier but stayed longer in the labour market, as a result of characteristics on rural jobs. 2. Employment

Table 2 shows the employment proportion and the employment-to- population ratio for those people aged 15+, classified by sex and 8 sampling domains (including 6 social-economic regions and 2 biggest cities) in the second quarter of 2015. Out of 52.5 million employed labourers, 70.1% (equivalent to 36.8 million persons) was residing in rural areas and 48.2% (equivalent to 25.3 million persons) was employed females. Making a comparison among social economic regions, the North and South Central Coast has currently occupied the largest relevant proportion, about 22% of total employed population, followed by the Red River Delta, and Mekong River Delta (21.7% and 19.1% respectively).

In details, as of Quarter 2, 2015, the employed population was estimated about 52.5 million people, more than 103 thousand people (equivalent to minus 0,2%) as compared to that of Quarter 1, 2015. Among 6 social economic regions, 3 regions had number of employed persons decreased, (ranging from 1% to 7.2%) lower than that of Quarter 1, 2015. The highest
10

employment decline was for the Mekong River Delta (-7.2%), followed by the Southeast (-3.6%). Among 3 regions had number of employed persons increased, the highest employment 14
The employed-to-population ratio for those who are 15 years old and above was at 74.5% in quarter 2, 2015. Urban-rural and sex gaps on this ratio were nearly 11.6 and 10.1 percentage points, respectively. Comparing among social economic regions indicated that the highest employment-to- population ratios belonged to two mountainous regions, namely the Northern Midlands and Mountains (83.4%) and the Central Highlands (82.8%), while two most developed social- economic centres, including Hanoi city and Hochiminh city occupied the lowest ones.

Figure 2 presents the proportion of employed population classified by industrial sector for each sampling domain. The data shows that the Southeast region, especially including Hochiminh city has the most advanced economic structure, with an increasing dominant proportion of industrial, constructional or service workers (about 85.6% and 97.2% respectively). Contrarily, for the mountainous and coastal areas, the

11

proportion of employed labourers engaging into agriculture, forestry and fishery, has remained quite high. The Central Highlands has been regarded as the region occupying this largest proportion (about 72.7%), followed by the Northern Midlands and Mountains and the North and South Central Coast (67.1% and 51.5%, respectively).

3. Underemployment and unemployment

3.1 Underemployed and unemployed labourers
As of Quarter 2, 2015, the labour force aged 15 and above was constituted by more than 890 thousand underemployed labourers and 1.17 million unemployed labourers. As compared to Quarter 1, 2015, the underemployed population decreased ( about 319.5 thousand persons) and particularly, about 39.7 thousand unemployed persons were declined. The underemployment has been considered as more popular in rural areas. At present, about 85.1% of total underemployed population was residing in rural areas. Besides, the share of underemployed males was found higher than that of females (52% as compared to 48% of total underemployed population). On the other hand, the unemployment in urban areas should be concerned more even that the proportion of urban unemployed population was found lower, just accounting for 45.7% of total unemployed population (see part 3.2 – unemployment and underemployment rates for more reference). Moreover, the data of Quarter 2, 2015 also shows that unemployed males were more crowded than females (accounting for 54.8% verse 45.2% of total unemployed
12

population).
Observing the unemployment by the technical/qualification attainment reveals that in Quarter 2 2015, nearly 40% of unemployed population have undergone technical/qualification training from 3 months or more. Among this group, those unemployed laborers, who have graduated from universities or above, occupied the largest share (about 43%).
Figure 3: Percentage distribution of unemployed population aged 15+ and unemployed youth who have undergone technical/qualification training from 3 months or more, classified by levels of training in quarter 2, 2015

Youth is considered as one labour group most vulnerable to the fluctuations in labour market. Thus, youth’s unemployment has become important issue that should be paid attention in the society. In quarter 2, 2015 the unemployed youth aged from 15-24 accounted for 50.3% of total unemployed population throughout the country. Remarkably, the share of unemployed youth residing in urban areas was found lower than that of rural areas (accounting for 45.1% against with 54.9% of total unemployed population), as a result of more educational opportunities given by urban areas. In term of technical/qualification attainment, about 57.9% of total unemployed laborers who have undergone technical/qualification training from 3 months or more (equivalent to 270.8 thousand persons) were young ones. Of which, a dominant share (accounting for 71.2%) was formed by the young laborers who have graduated from college or above.
In addition, about 27.1% (equivalent to 243.6 thousand persons) of total 898 thousand under-employed workers throughout the country were young

13

persons aged 15 - 24.

As of quarter 2, 2015, the working age unemployment rate for the whole country reached to 2.42%. Of which, the urban unemployment rate (standing at 3.53%) was found higher than that of rural areas (1.91%). Sex gap on unemployment rate was not considerable, just 0.14% percentage points. However, among sampling domains, the unemployment rate was quite different. The region occupying the lowest rate was the Northern Midlands and Mountains (1.1%), followed by the Central Highland (1.13%). The Southeast and North and South Central Coast are two regions had the highest unemployment rate, respectively, 3.2% and 2.85%.

The working age under-employment rate for the whole country decreased in Quarter 2, 2015 in a comparison with that of Quarter 1, 2015 (1.8% against with 2.43%, respectively). The under-employment rate in rural areas stood at 2.23%, equal to nearly 2.5 times higher than that of urban areas (0.9%). Among regions, the Mekong River Delta has remained occupying the highest rate (about 2.86%), (equivalent to 1.6 times higher than that of whole country –standing at 1.8%).
At present, even that Vietnam’s economy has met difficulties, the unemployment rate in Vietnam has not changed much. Particularly, the working age unemployment rate in urban areas has increased slightly from

15

3.26% in Quarter 2, 2014 to 3.53% in Quarter 2, 2015. This could be explained in part by the fact that Vietnam is an agricultural country, characterized with the less developed economy, resulting to the people’s low living standards and the insufficiently developed social security system. Therefore, people prefer involving into any kind of jobs, even into the informal ones giving unstable, low earnings and indecent working conditions, in order to support themselves and their families, rather than being into long-term unemployment to look for better jobs.

In Quarter 2, 2015, the unemployment rate of young group who have completed technical/qualification training from 3 months or more, stood at 15.36%, of which the unemployment for young females was considerably higher than that for young males (16.99% verse 13.47%). This was similar when comparing the unemployment between urban and rural (18.91% against with 12.6%). Notably, the youth’s unemployment is likely increased along with their level of technical/qualification attainment, that is, more concerns on unemployment should be paid for those young people who have attained high technical/qualification level. For example, the unemployment rates of those young people who have graduated from college or university and above were found about 14.48% and 21.8%, respectively. Whereas this rate was much lower for those groups who have just completed “short-term vocational education” or “mid-term vocational/professional education (standing at 7.5% and 13.13%). The reason could be that those young people having high educational attainment (such as college, university or above) are often from 20 to 24 years old, have just graduated and lack of experiences. Therefore, they will meet difficult to find suitable jobs.

...The first piece of evidence that shows reasonable doubt is the uniqueness of the knife. In the play, the storekeeper identified the knife and said it was the only one of its kind he had in stock. Also, one juror stated, “it’s a very strange knife. I’ve never seen one like it before in my life. Neither had the storekeeper who sold it to him.” (Pg. 23-24). Later, juror 8 reaches into his pocket and takes out a knife and states, “Look at it! It’s the same knife!”…”I hot it in a little junk shop around the corner from the boy’s house. It costs two dollars.” (Pg. 24) After discussing the uniqueness of the knife, the jurors decided there was reasonable doubt when the old man’s testimony came into the question. In this play, the second piece of evidence that shows reasonable doubt is the old man’s testimony. An old man lived right underneath the room where the murder took place. He heard loud noises at 12:10 from upstairs. It sounded like a fight to him and he heard the boy say, “I’m gonna kill you.” He heard a body fall a second later, and he saw the boy run out of the apartment. The old man called the police and they found a knife in the father’s chest. The old man states that he took 15 seconds to get out of bed and see the boy run down the stairs. However, juror 8 proves that the old man’s timing was off because it is impossible for an old man, who carries two canes, to walk and see the boy run out of the building in 15 seconds. Also, the jurors prove that the old...

Boston Subway System

...Boston Subway System “One of the biggest plans unveiled by Governor Patrick is a $1.3 billion project by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority to replace and increase the capacity of the 44-year-old Red Line subway cars and the 32-year-old Orange Line cars.”It was reported by the Associated Press in the news “Patrick announces major transportation projects” on the website “http://www.boston.com” on October 22, 2013. We take trains frequently in our daily life in Boston. It’s good news for the people living here. The subway system is an important part of Boston transportation, which has a long history of over one hundred year. But it is too antiqued for the contemporary people, so there are many suggestions and projects to improve the subway system. Compared with the Wuhan subway system, I think some suggestions and projects are impractical for the improvement of Boston subway system, therefore I want to oppose them. Most of the people in Boston thought that the subway system lacks late-night or overnight service. People want to extend the service hours.(Annear) But from my point of view, the Boston subway system’s service hours should be reduced. First, I often ride the orange line at night when I go to the school gym to do some exercise after supper and stay very late. So I can know that very few people ride trains after 10:00 p.m; there are usually less than ten people inside every subway car. It is obvious that the extension of service hours is a waste...

...| What is the Nature of Law | Ian ToughS211177 | | | | | WHAT IS THE NATURE OF LAW 1 What is the nature of Law? What is the Law? Does humanity have any regard for laws?Do all societies have the same laws? The answer to these questions, are thought to have two competing answers.  The classical answer is provided by natural law theory, which is frequently characterized as asserting that there is an essential relationship between law and morality or justice.  The modern answer is provided by legal positivism, which, as developed by John Austin, asserted that law is the command of the sovereign backed by the threat of punishment. Arguments over the nature of law focus on a revised set of positions.  Legal positivism is represented by analytic legal positivists, like H.L.A. Hart, Joseph Raz, and Jules Coleman.  The natural law tradition is defended by John Finnis.  And a new positition,interpretivism is represented by Ronald Dworkin. The "What is law?" question has been approached by contemporary legal philosophers who have over many decades attempted to define the term. For example, the sociological tradition includes important work on the nature of law by Max Weber and Niklas Luhmann. . Natural law theory is strongly associated with classical and medieval thought, especially Aristotle, Roman jurisprudence, and St. Thomas Aquinas.  There are several challenges associated...

...There are two main types of therapy, individual psychotherapy and group psychotherapy. Group therapy could be considered more useful than individual therapy because group therapy gathers people with similar problems and allows them to have a discussion about them rather than a one-on-one session with a therapist. If a patient chooses to participate in group therapy, they should be aware that it is most effective if it is long term and can be combined with some individual therapy. Group therapy can help a person break out of their comfort level and improve their social skills. It is important for the patient to realize that they are not alone and that there is nothing wrong with asking for help. Advantages of group therapy: 1. Group Therapy usually costs much less compare to individual therapy. 2. Meeting different people with the problems can give a wider perspective of your own problems. 3. Listening to other people helps understand that you can view and handle problem more than one way. 4. Others people can provide more encouragement and emotional support. 5. Group therapy is of special value in treating problems involving communication with others, such as social phobia. Disadvantages of group therapy: 1. The most common disadvantage of group therapy is that the therapy is generalized, and not always specific to the needs of the individual. Not all clients receive any more attention than any others, so it is often unfocused and impersonal. 2. In any situation...

...With two “tough” Australian brigades going into battle singing “Have you heard of the wonderful wizard, The wonderful Wizard of Oz..” it was a song that was spread from Australia to England. The song reflected a classic 1939 Hollywood production of the story, which not only introduced millions to the land of Oz, but also to a talented young lady named Judy Garland. Published in 1900, Lyman Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was immensely popular- providing a base for a profitable musical comedy, three movies,and plays. The tale that Baum has created has been seen by interested scholars, such as Russel B. Nye. being neither critically acclaimed nor critically examined. In the Oz book, Professor Nye finds a “strain of moralism” as well as “ a well-developed sense of satire”, however in Baum’s stories, he often includes parodies of the contradictions in human nature. In 1900, Baum was surrounded by an astonishing degree of political reality. While Baum was living in South Dakota, not only was the frontier and actual thing of the past, and with the stark reality of the dry, open plains served to crush Romantic Idealism. In Chicago, Baum saw the results of the depression which had closed down upon the nation in 1893. Baum took part in the pivotal election of 1896, marching in “torch-light parades got William Jennings Bryan” With Baum’s allegiance to the cause of Democratic Populism, it must balance against the fact that he was not a political activist. I always like the...

Space Shuttle Challenger

...Space Shuttle Challenger Case I have read and studied the Space Shutter Challenger Case thoroughly and I believe that the most important failure of the case study was due to many factors which include personality, communication and motivation among the members of the group. In terms of personality, I believe the part of the failure was due to the mix of strong and weak personalities among the group. The stronger personalities which included Mason and Wiggins used direct pressure to influence Lund in to agreeing with their decision. Mason told Lund to take off his engineering hat and to put on his management hat. I believe that Mason and Wiggins used their strong and domineering personalities to influence Lund. This is a contributing factor to the failure of the space shuttle launch. Another aspect of the failure of the case is due to the poor communication between the Thiokol engineers and management. The Thiokol engineers had expressed their concerns to management about the reliability of the O-Rings being used on the space shuttles but a review committee concluded that they were safe to use and if a problem did arise there were secondary O-rings in place. In the flights leading up to the challengers departure, there was evidence that there were serious problems with the O-rings. On the eve of the launch, the weather forecast was unusually cold for Florida weather, with temperatures in the low twenty’s. Thiokol expressed concern that the O-rings would not work properly...

Ragtime Conflicts

...A conflict can be defined as a state of opposition between two forces and is central to the human experience. There are a countless amount of factors which can cause a conflict between individuals, established groups, or within one’s self. The way conflicts are dealt with, can cause a person to better themselves by producing strength and skills or can destroy one’s spirit and cause a great amount of agony. Within “Ragtime” by E.L. Doctorow, Mother is confronted with several key conflicts which include her relationship with Father, her struggle to find personal meaning in society and also her emotional, physical and intellectual change. Sexual activity is a major theme and conflict in “Ragtime” and although many characters are changed and affected by sexual activity, the relationship between Mother and Father is most defined by it and creates a conflict for Mother. After reading “Ragtime”, one can see that sex and sexual desires are the foundations of the relationship between Mother and Father. At the beginning of the novel, Doctorow writes, “On Sunday afternoon, after dinner, Father and Mother went upstairs and closed the bedroom door” (page 4). This is the first reference of sexual activity and right away, one can get the impression that they have a very physical relationship. While reading the novel, it is understood that as long as their relationship was physical and full of sexual activity, their marriage was happy and easy going. In the beginning of the novel, their relationship...

Dax Case Study

...Scientology Research Paper Some people love, and some people hate L. Ron Hubbard. Before doing any kind of research into the religion of Scientology I had never heard of the religion, let alone heard of a man so loved and so despised by many. The science-fiction writer, later turned leader made his way on I the scene in 1950 when a book called “Dianetics” hit America's west coast like a wild fire. Some claim it was his plan saying he was only out for money. My opinion of this was that L. Ron Hubbard was a genius when it came to believable scams and money making. Scientology is an organization or movement that is right on the edge between psychology and religion. The idea is that if you correctly apply the knowledge that is there for the taking, which will fully release the individual’s full potential. The proper application of the ideas is supposed to lead to the freeing of the individuals superhuman powerful human nature. Scientology believes that in the climb to a desirable state, there are current human limitations, including lack of confidence, psychological and physical disabilities, and psychosomatic illness. These limitations, if they are eliminated (the idea of scientology), this will enable man to handle his environment more successfully Scientology also looks at the human beings will to exist, which is summed up in 8 dynamics or drives as they are called. L. Ron Hubbard composed these 8 dynamics or drives, and they are as follows: 1) The urge to survive as a self-aware...

Meeting Coach Ken Carter

...On November 10th, Coach Ken Carter came to speak to the students at Radford University. I am a huge fan of the movie “Coach Carter”, and was very excited to see him in person and hear what he had to say. I was very impressed, to say the least. He started off his presentation by running down the aisles blowing a whistle. It startled me at first, but I thought it was an extremely creative opener. Since I was thoroughly involved in theatre back in high school, I couldn’t help but notice how Samuel L. Jackson captured Ken’s persona so perfectly. His demeanor and charismatic charm reminded me so much of the movie! Ken talked about several different things, but the main theme of his speech was to work hard and see it pay off. He brought up several valid points that I will definitely remember. One thing that he talked about that was important was to “look the part”. In my fraternity, we are always working hard to obtain a business casual attire when we conduct professional interviews, and I am also required to dress this way when I go to my internship. He brought up the fact that if you look the part, people will take you seriously. The best part of the presentation, in my opinion, was when he asked a young lady to come up to the front of the audience. He gave her a $20 bill. She respectfully took it. He then pulled out a $1 bill and autographed it. He then asked her which one she would rather have and she immediately pulled out the autographed $1 bill. He connected it to real life...

Berger

...SUMMARY OF PETER BERGER, THE SACRED CANOPY CHAPTER 1: RELIGION AND WORLD-CONSTRUCTION CHAPTER 2: RELIGION AND WORLD-MAINTENANCE CHAPTER 3: THE PROBLEM OF THEODICY CHAPTER 5: THE PROCESS OF SECULARIZATION   CHAPTER 1: RELIGION AND WORLD-CONSTRUCTION Berger begins his interpretation of religion by observing that very little in human life is determined by instinct. Because we humans have a relatively short gestation period in the womb (compared to other species), we don't have time to develop very elaborate instinctual equipment. We have very few instincts, and the ones we have are quite weak. So we have few specific responses to specific stimuli "patterned" into us. This means that in every situation we have a very large range of options for responding. We are constantly forced to choose how to interact with the world. In Berger's terminology, we must choose how to "externalize" ourselves, which means how to relate to and shape the environment around us. (Berger claims that in this respect we are different from all other animal species. He may well be wrong about other animal species; other animals may be a lot like us. But that doesn't mean he is wrong about human life.) Every time we externalize ourselves we change the environment, which creates a new set of choices to be faced. since the relationship between self and world is always changing, we are always "off balance." What we want more than anything else, according to this sociological view, is to be in balance--to...

Space Shuttle Safety335

...The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster was the largest tragedy that had ever occurred in space travel history. The disaster occurred on January 28, 1986. Seventy-two seconds in flight, the shuttle blew up and bursted into pieces. All seven crewmembers on board died either at explosion or water impact. Most people in their teens and older when this tragedy occur, still remember when and where they were…for me it was 8th grade math class and we had it on television. It was a huge deal because the first female school teacher was onboard. The commission found that the Challenger accident was caused by a failure in the O-rings sealing on the right booster rocket housing. This caused hot gases from the pressurization to blow out, or snap the O-ring. (Wikepedia, n.d.) With the O-ring failure, this caused structural failure. On the day of the launch, it was delayed over six hours due to cold weather. This was addressed prior to launch, but it seemed that everyone ignored this vital piece of intelligence. Cold temperatures affect O-rings in every bit of aviation. In the P-3 if the weather is below freezing, a hot start shall be used so O-ring seals won’t split in the propeller which would cause hydraulic fluid leaks in the prop. The key factor besides the O-ring was the supervision and safety councils who oversaw this launch. The night prior to the launch, a meeting was held to discuss scenerios to delay the launch the following day. No one was in attendance from any...
