The International Labor Organization (ILO) has warned that low-productive employment among Vietnam’s young population is curbing the youth's potential and stunting national grown.
ILO said in a release Monday, also the International Youth Day, that the first national school-to-work transition survey shows that the quality of jobs available for young people aged between 15 and 29 is generally poor.
The preliminary findings of the survey, carried out by the General Statics Office and the ILO early this year, showed that poor quality employment affects more than half of young workers. Nearly eight in ten are in informal employment and half of them are in irregular employment, meaning own-account work or temporary contracts.
