The Vietnam Social Security (VSS) recently issued Direction No. 357/QD-BHXH on the target to increase the number of people joining social insurance and unemployment insurance in 2019-2021 in 63 centrally-run cities and provinces nationwide.

The figures were set on the basis of the Government’s resolutions. Accordingly, the VSS eyes the coverage of social insurance in 2019 accounting for 32.3 percent of the country’s labour force. The proportion is projected to rise to 33.9 percent and 35.6 percent in the two following years, respectively.

Meanwhile, the rate of unemployment insurance coverage for the three years from 2019 to 2021 is set at 27.3 percent, 28.6 percent and 29.8 percent, respectively.

To realise the target, the VSS has assigned figures to each province and city, in line with their conditions./.
