Improving vocational training for Vietnamese rural workers
Asian Development Bank | June 2012
Abstract
This study is designed to contribute to this issue by examining how improvements to vocational
training policies can benefit informal (rural) workers. The study focuses on the improvement of
the dominant central vocational training policy, the Government’s decision 1956 and local
vocational training policies in Nam Dinh and An Giang. Having investigated the provinces, the
need for change that can help informal sector workers either i) to move to better / more stable
occupations (and hence better livelihood options – or in terms of the “markets for poor”
literature, “stepping out”); or ii) can facilitate improvements in the way informal sector workers
undertake their existing occupations better and generate greater income from them, was apparent.
