Outcome achieved
On 2 June 2023 the National Assembly adopted Resolution 89/2023/QH15 which endorsed the Policy Orientation for revising the revised Employment Law No 38/2013/QH13. In February 2023, the Government completed the dossier to revise the Employment Law, including the Policy Orientation and submitted to the National Assembly. The Law proposes policy options to strengthen the legal, institutional and financial sustainability dimensions of the unemployment insurance system, including extension of UI coverage to workers with 1-month contracts and promotion and strengthening of the active component of unemployment scheme.
ILO's contribution to the outcome
ILO developed evidence supporting the strengthening of the coverage and levels of support provided by employment protection and unemployment insurance programmes through a "Stock-taking report on the implementation of Unemployment Insurance scheme and Policy recommendations for reforming the Unemployment policies in Viet Nam". The report was submitted to the Government and contributed to the revision of the Employment Law.
ILO conducted the actuarial valuation of the Unemployment Insurance Fund in 2022. The Actuarial valuation results provided important insights for reforming the unemployment insurance fund.
