Abstract:
In Viet Nam, as in developing countries, women continue to be the main constituent of poorer, lower-income workers who are vulnerable to underemployment and unemployment. There are more precarious employment conditions than men. Vietnamese women are mainly employed in low-income occupations or vulnerable jobs. Women also make up the bulk of the unpaid family work, and in the "invisible" area of the informal economy. According to the ILO, About 7.8 million female workers are working in the informal sector. The share of women workers in the informal sector has risen to 59.6 per cent, much higher than the 31.8 per cent of male workers in the informal sector. The National Labor Code and the Law on Gender Equality provide that men and women are treated equally in the workplace, in terms of employment, salaries, bonuses, social insurance, working conditions, training and promotion. In reality, however, informal female workers are unaware of their basic rights, are exploited and harmed. With the current economic development, access to work It is a matter of concern for women workers. There should be a legal basis for developing and implementing policies.
