Abstract:
By the end of June 2020, there are 30.8 million people aged 15 years and older who are negatively affected by the epidemic, including those who have lost their jobs, have to take time off/rotate leave, reduced working hours, lost or reduced income. The impact of income reduction accounted for the highest proportion with 57.3% of the total number of affected people (17.6 million people); In 2020, Vietnam's unemployment rate was at the highest level in the past ten years. Therefore, the problem for the entire political system in Vietnam is to drastically implement policies to support employees in terms of social security, helping people gradually overcome the pandemic's difficulties.
