The revision of Law on Sending Vietnamese Contract-Based Workers Abroad

The Law on Sending Vietnamese Contract-based Workers Abroad (Law 72) which came into effect in 2007, is the primary law governing regular labour migration. The proposal for the revision of Law 72 has been approved. During the Law 72 revision process, it is important to take into account the experiences of and expectations of women toward labour migration to balance the interests of enterprises and the state regarding labour migration. In 2019, a qualitative study has been conducted for information about the experiences of women migrant workers and identified relevant legislative regulations on labour migration. One step further to make this information useful for the Law 72 revision process is to use the collected information and legislation analysis, especially the major changes planned for Law 72 to formulate concrete recommendations on ensuring gender mainstreaming and safeguarding the rights of women migrant workers in the revised draft Law.
