02 Consultants to conduct field survey and develop review report on labour dispatch policies and practices

Labour dispatch is emerging as a solution for job matching in the labour market. The rapid expansion of the labour dispatch practice indicates that the relevant legal provisions are, in general, sufficiently adequate, creating the legal basis for labour dispatch practices, ensuring the rights and interests of the workers.

The ILO in Viet Nam is working closely with the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) to review the application of labour dispatch regulations and the actual practices, through an in-depth study in selected regions and industries, including the electronics, fishing, telecommunications and garment sectors. Based on this review, MOLISA shall institute a process to explore and develop policy actions, including the improvement of enforcement measures and related guidelines for the state labour administration agencies, and, if necessary, identifying areas that may require law amendment, to better ensure the rights and legitimate interests of dispatched workers and the related enterprises.

The development of this report needs the engagement of two consultants to undertake a field survey and develop a review report on labour dispatch policies and practices.

The 2 consultants are expected to work in coordination to implement the following tasks:

Consultant 1: (ToR 1)

• Develop survey tools and field interview tools in August 2023
• Conduct data collection and analysis in August and September 2023
• Develop survey reports in localities in October 2023

Consultant 2: (ToR 2)

• Develop synthesis report outline
• Conduct field trips to collect data in the South
• Develop a review report
• Finalize the review report
