The number of workers receiving unemployment insurance in Hanoi increased.

Hanoi Social Insurance informed that in the 11 months of 2023, the industry paid subsidies from the Unemployment Insurance Fund to more than 76,000 workers. Along with that, the parties resolved and created conditions for more than 500 workers who are beneficiaries of Unemployment Insurance to participate in elementary vocational training.

Compared to the same period in 2022, the number of employees receiving unemployment insurance in 2023 in Hanoi increased by more than 10,000 people (in 11 months of 2022, benefits were paid to nearly 65,000 beneficiaries).

The increase in the number of people receiving unemployment insurance partly shows the difficulty in solving and maintaining jobs for workers in 2023.

In order to ensure the lives and welfare of workers, on the one hand, Hanoi authorities coordinated to implement many solutions to stabilize employment for workers by the end of 2023; at the same time, creating many new job positions, helping unemployed workers return to the labor market soon.

In terms of policy, Hanoi city authorities continue to recommend that central ministries and branches study and develop to perfect and supplement unemployment insurance policies in the direction of focusing on ensuring employment and supporting skill improvement so that workers have the opportunity to maintain their jobs, minimizing unemployment.
