Electronics firms face labour shortageVietNamNet Bridge – Hundreds of electronics manufacturers in Vietnam are having difficulty recruiting labourers, said an official from the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA). New technologies are one of the factors leading to the shortage, said Dr Dao Quang Vinh, director of the Institute of Labour Science and Social Affairs. To improve the situation, Dr Chu Thi Lan said electronics companies should shake up their practices, strictly comply with labour regulations, maintain labour standards and offer incentives to recruit labourers. “They should absolutely avoid forced labour and child labour, and avoid firing workers over 35 years old,” she said. The State should have policies that ensure job stability and on-the-job training for electronics workers, he added.
