Nghe An has more than 10.6 thousand people registering for unemployment insurance in the first 6 months of 2024
Nghe An Employment Service Center said that in the first 6 months of 2024, the center received over 10,616 applications from workers registering for unemployment insurance benefits.
Of these, 5,712 unemployed people in other localities applied for unemployment benefits in Nghe An; 4,904 unemployed people used to work in enterprises in the province.
Compared to the same period in 2023, the number of people registering for unemployment benefits decreased by 9.5% (11,734 people in the first 6 months of 2023), of which the number of unemployed people who used to work in enterprises in the province decreased by 8.6%. This shows that enterprises in the province have somewhat recovered production and business after many difficulties encountered in 2022 and 2023.
Accordingly, the center has decided to grant unemployment benefits to 9,874 people with an amount of more than 198 billion VND in the first 6 months of 2024. The average unemployment benefit is nearly 3.35 million VND/month; the average number of months receiving unemployment benefits is 5.4 months.
It is worth noting that most workers who quit or lose their jobs want to return to the market sooner rather than receiving a vocational training support decision according to Decision 17/2021/QD-TTg "Regulations on vocational training support levels for workers participating in unemployment insurance". In the first 6 months of the year, only 29 workers with decisions to receive unemployment benefits at Nghe An Employment Service Center received vocational training support decisions.
