QBN Lao PDR April-June 2014

Although economic growth and structural transformation in Lao PDR has continued at a rapid pace, the transition out of agricultural employment has remained relatively slow, particularly given its reduced contribution to GDP.

As a result,labour migration continues to represent an important livelihood option for the Lao workforce.
