At the Vietnam Socio-Economic Forum 2022 in Hanoi, the ILO advised on youth employment and labor-market changes during recovery. Higher educational attainment does not automatically improve incomes or job quality; more effective employment and skills support is also needed.
A priority is better skills forecasting to guide reskilling and upskilling. The remarks also highlight green and digital investment opportunities and sustained investment in young people as paths to productivity and quality employment. Support for low-paid and less-educated workers should include accessible learning opportunities.
