The industrial relations system has been evolving to meet new market economy demands, but in many areas remains unable to respond adequately and in a timely way to the changing industrial and economic environment. A sharp rise in the private sector including foreign-owned enterprises and rapid expansion of the manufacturing sector, brought new challenges and a wave of workplace disputes and strikes to Viet Nam since 2006.

The development of sound labour relations is critical for the effective governance of complex interactions in an advanced labour market, as well as for ensuring the continued improvement of the lives of workers in Viet Nam, particularly as the country deepens its integration into international markets by joining ASEAN, AFTA, WTO and other trade agreements.
