In 2023, Nghe An's unemployment insurance registration rate increased by nearly 13%

Mr. Le Hai Duong - Deputy Director of Nghe An Employment Service Center said: Most of the workers who registered for unemployment insurance were unskilled workers, who used to work at private enterprises or foreign-invested enterprises in the fields of textiles, footwear, electronics... In the context of having to endure pressure on production costs due to fluctuating oil prices, lack of orders due to the unstable situation in Europe..., businesses were forced to cut labor, leading to many workers falling into unemployment.

Notably, among these, the number of workers working in enterprises in Nghe An province is 10,910 people, an increase of 37.9% compared to 2022 (7,910 people). This shows that enterprises in the province are still facing many difficulties in production and business after the Covid-19 pandemic.

In 2023, the Provincial Employment Service Center coordinated withNghe An Social Insuranceprocessed monthly unemployment benefits for 22,499 people, with a total amount of more than 403 billion 890 million VND. The average unemployment benefit is nearly 3.3 million VND/month; the average number of months receiving unemployment benefits is 5.15 months.

Mr. Le Hai Duong also added that most workers after quitting or losing their jobs want to return to the market sooner instead of receiving a decision on vocational training support according to Decision 17/2021/QD-TTg "Regulations on vocational training support levels for workers participating in unemployment insurance". In 2023, only 78 workers with decisions to receive unemployment benefits at Nghe An Employment Service Center received decisions on vocational training support./.
