Nguyễn Thi Hải Yến, an expert on female workers, speaks to Nông thôn Ngày nay (Countryside Today) newspaper about the proposed revision of the 2012 Labour Code. Will you tell us about labour policies on female workers written in recent Labour Codes? In labour relations, employers often put female workers in a disadvantaged position against male workers, particularly pregnant workers or those with young babies. The 2012 Labour Code devoted Chapter 10 to female workers and ensuring better conditions for them. I object to this as female workers will not have sufficient time to look after their families.
