placement centres and transaction floors each year during the 2006-2010
period, a rise of five percent compared with the figure before 2005,
reported the Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs
(MoLISA).
At a seminar to assess the
effectiveness of job transaction floors on Sept. 9, MoLISA Deputy
Minister Nguyen Thanh Hoa said that the information of labour supply and
demand on the market are updated through job transaction floors,
helping increase the efficiency of the link between labour supply and
demand.
However, he pointed out difficulties in
investment and infrastructure and the lack of officials that have slowed
the operation of the centres and floors.
The
number of people finding their jobs through the centres and floors now
only represents 14 percent of the total of 1.6 million new jobs each
year, he added.
The participants suggested the
centres and floors finalise legal frameworks for job services, increase
investment in infrastructure and equipment and devise training
programmes for officials.
The ministry’s
Employment Department said that it will develop the job placement
centres under the World Association of Public Employment Services
(WAPES) standard to raise the number of people employed through the
network to 40 percent by 2020./.
