The event was an opportunity for government leaders and labourers to discuss bottlenecks and solutions to improve Việt Nam’s labour productivity. According to the General Statistics Office, the country’s labour productivity has seen an upward trend in recent years, with an increase of 4.8 per cent in 2022 and 3.65 per cent in 2023. However, the average national labour productivity in 2021-2023 fell short of its goal of 5.5 per cent on average. Addressing the event, PM Chính called for the national labour confederation, its members and all workers to implement three ‘enhancements’, three ‘pioneer actions’ and three ‘breakthroughs’ to excel in labour productivity. PM Chính also stressed that economic growth and labour productivity must align with macroeconomic stability, inflation control as well as institutional and infrastructure strategies.
