Workers from Thua Thien Hue province go abroad to work under labor contracts.

After attending the Job Consulting Conference, sending workers to work abroad under labor contracts held at the end of 2022 locally, Ms. Dang Thi Tam (near-poor in Hai Thanh village, Phong Hai commune, Phong Dien district, Thua Thien Hue province) registered information and convinced her son to work abroad under a labor contract. At that time, Mr. Ho Dang Son (born in 1994, Ms. Tam's son), was working in Da Nang city. With the persuasion of relatives and encouragement from local authorities, Mr. Son decided to work in the Japanese market under a contract and passed the exam for the steel construction job. In July 2023, Mr. Son left the country with the hope of improving his income and helping his family escape poverty.

Also leaving the country with Mr. Son was Mr. Hoang Trong Duy (born in 1992, Phong Hai commune, Phong Dien district). According to the Phong Hai commune government, Mr. Duy now has his own family with 2 young children. However, because both husband and wife do not have stable jobs and the wife is often sick, life is difficult and he is a near-poor household in the commune. After learning about working abroad under a contract and the state's support policies for poor and near-poor households, Mr. Duy chose to participate and successfully left the country to work in Japan.

Mr. Nguyen Van Dung - Vice Chairman of Phong Hai Commune People's Committee (Phong Dien District, Thua Thien Hue Province) said that Phong Hai is a coastal commune, most of the area is white sand. The main occupation of the people here is mainly fishing, farming and processing seafood products, but they are small-scale, near the shore. Currently, the whole commune has a total of 1,288 households, of which 15 are poor households (accounting for 1.16%); 82 near-poor households (accounting for 6.34%). According to Mr. Dung, in recent years, Phong Hai commune has invested in and supported many livelihood models to help people develop the economy, eliminate hunger and reduce poverty. Phong Hai commune has also strengthened propaganda and mobilized people to work abroad under contracts, coordinated in organizing job consultation conferences, and sent workers to work abroad under contracts.

According to the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs of Phong Dien district, the work of sending workers to work abroad has been promoted by localities in the district and has gradually become a widespread movement, becoming one of the main solutions to create jobs with high and stable income, helping people escape poverty sustainably. From 2021 to present, the whole Phong Dien district has mobilized and sent 297 workers to work abroad under contracts, with potential markets such as Japan, Taiwan, etc.
