The Hanoi People's Committee has issued a plan to support labor market development and generate employment for workers across the city in 2026.
Under the plan, the city aims to create 171,000 new jobs and maintain the urban unemployment rate below 3%.
The target for the trained labor force is set at 75.8%, with 55.5% of workers holding formal degrees or certificates. Additionally, the city is targeting an annual labor productivity growth rate of 7.0% to 7.5%.
To achieve these goals, Hanoi will provide workers with comprehensive information regarding labor market trends, corporate recruitment needs, vocational training programs, job support policies, unemployment insurance, and social welfare programs.
The city will also prioritize training in new and high-demand skills driven by digital transformation and the "green economy." These include Information Technology, foreign languages, soft skills, digital environment competencies, and skills for emerging industries. Training formats will be diversified, incorporating e-learning, on-site training at enterprises, and models that combine theory with practical application.
Furthermore, Hanoi will promote a structural shift in its workforce by reducing the proportion of unskilled labor and increasing the number of highly skilled workers to meet the demands of high-tech industries, the digital economy, and green growth. The city plans to enhance the operation of the municipal Job Information Portal and leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technologies for the collection and analysis of labor market data.
In addition, the city will organize effective in-person, online, and thematic job fairs to strengthen the connection between labor supply and demand with neighboring provinces and cities. The plan also emphasizes the development of high-tech and organic agriculture tied to market consumption to ensure economic efficiency and sustainable development.
