TRIANGLE in ASEAN Quarterly Briefing Note: Viet Nam (January – March 2017)
There are approximately 520,000 Vietnamese migrant workers currently overseas; most are young men and women from rural areas who obtain low skilled employment in manufacturing, construction, fishing, agriculture, domestic work, and other service industries.
Migrant workers make a significant contribution to the economic development of Viet Nam through remittances, providing a major source of foreign exchange income.
