USAID’s Governance for Inclusive Growth Program’s grant to the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) has supported the development of a digital portal for VCCI to communicate with businesses on labor policies and to gather their feedback on the revision of labor laws. Employers and employees will be able to access information about salaries, insurance, the Labor Code and other regulations in a comprehensive, one-stop portal rather than having to visit the digital portals of individual ministries. The new portal (http://beavccivietnam.com.vn/index.html#example4/1) will be available to the public for comments from January to March 2018 and will be launched in April 2018.

So What? Easy to access, accurate information about Vietnamese and international labor policies and standards supports trade and investment, and enhances national competitiveness.
