The average length of employment is 6.7 years, according to a report of the Institute of Workers and Trade Union. Le Dinh Quang from the Vietnam Labor Federation confirmed the tendency of dismissing workers over 35, though there are no official statistics.Most of the dismissed are workers at enterprises which use high number of workers.
