"Hunger" of labor in the Textile and Garment industry
(Baonghean) - "Hunger" of labor is a common situation that occurs to enterprises in the textile and garment sector of the whole country in general and in Nghe An in particular at present. Although the conditions (documents, skills...) are not too strict, textile and garment enterprises still have to face the reality of difficulty in recruiting many workers.
Minh Anh - Kim Lien Garment Joint Stock Company located in Bac Vinh Industrial Park is one of the strong enterprises in Nghe An in the field of garment production for export. Currently, the Company is investing in expanding its production line, so it needs to recruit a lot of workers (500 skilled garment workers and a high-quality labor training class of 100 people...). Along with the salary based on products from 2.5 - 3.5 million VND/month, the Company also rewards workers with high achievements in production, supports gasoline, 13th month salary... In particular, for apprentices, during the 2-month period, they are supported with more than 1 million VND/month and other sources of support. Despite such a mechanism, businesses still find it difficult to recruit enough workers to meet production requirements.

With the reality that has happened in the past time in the Textile industry, there are many ways to explain why workers are not "interested" in this profession. But in the end, it is because the income of workers is not satisfactory, or in other words, workers find it difficult to live on their salary. Unattractive income, great pressure on work, combined with unsynchronized investment in infrastructure, especially the problem of housing for workers, policies... have made textile enterprises in Vinh City always in a state of labor shortage. Obviously, the demand for labor recruitment of textile enterprises located in Vinh City will increase, but this human resource is increasingly narrowing. And one thing that can be foreseen is that enterprises will constantly "starve" for labor, if there is no innovative policy on income, appropriate regime to retain textile workers in the city.
Recently, the trend of textile and garment investors is to focus on building "base-based" factories. This is proven by textile and garment projects invested in districts.
Among the many benefits from investing in infrastructure (low investment rate, convenient site clearance, open policies and mechanisms, convenience in labor and living conditions for workers...), the most reassuring thing for investors is the abundant rural labor force.

The way that HAIVI KIM LIEN Company Limited and some other businesses are doing (building factories in rural areas) is very necessary to overcome the current labor shortage in the Textile and Garment industry, reduce pressure on the city, and contribute to attracting labor force in agriculture, one of the goals of new rural construction.
