Socio-economic development strategies are not attached to labor market, especially in policies and information about the informal sector Labor demand is low in quantity and limited in quality. Labor works mainly in agriculture and informal sectors with poor productivity and high risks Basically, Vietnam is a labor- redundant market having low labor quality, unreasonable distribution and education and training system not meeting its demand 2/18/ II. Labor market situation in Vietnam (cont ) 4. Overall assessment 4.2.
